Subject: [church_and_change] October 17th 2009 Fearless Faith workshop
To: church_and_change@yahoogroups.com
Hello,
God has inspired me through His means of grace to attempt men's ministry through Christ empowered Opportunities. We sort of took over when Kingdom workers stopped hosting men's workshops. Men are tough to reach, but they are reachable. Below is information on our upcoming Co- ed conference in October 17th 2009, hosted in Milwaukee, WI at WLC. I pray that God
move you to join us and maybe your could help spread the word to your friends and congregation.
Topics for discussion;
Fearless: A Faith for Uncertain Times Mr.Mark Neumann - Is Satan keeping you awake nights full of worry? Your job, bills, the stock market? Relax. You may not be in control…BUT, God is, and He has right where he wants you in the palm of His hand.
Fearless: Moving from rejection to resurrection. Tracey Lampe - Rejection--part of every life and it doesn’t feel good. Sometimes imagined other times earned, but never any fun. But…if we
examine its source, surrender control, and embrace God’s Word we will fearlessly move from the loneliness of rejection to a resurrected support team that gives us life.
Fearless: Confronting Spiritual Cowardice - Like Jesus disciple Peter, our spiritual cowardice often makes it feel easier to die for Jesus, than to live for him. Only when we focus on Christ’s power--not our own ability or failures--do we become the channel through which God releases his purpose.
When things go wrong, or you struggle with loss or crisis in your life the first question you probably ask is, ‘Where are you God’, or ‘Why did you let this happen to me God? Even though this is a natural response it is also a dangerous place if you continually dwell there. There is certainly sin and evil in the world and no one is exempt from its effects, but also we don’t know the all encompassing will and plans of God who is working to restore all people and all things to perfection through Christ!
Maybe God is letting things happen for us, so we can grow closer to Him through our faith in His Son, our Savior! God is with us when we are suffering or have feelings of being abandoned. When we submit our life to Him through our Savior Jesus, we share in the power of God’s love, comforting grace as well.
Fearless: Crisis of Faith - Do you ever feel that God is hidden, not listening as you struggle through your life’s journey? Are you convinced that God has turned his back on you? Faith is not the
absence of doubt, worry or anger. Its in believing, and doing what you know you can’t see, yet need to do that your heart follows and finds that our Triune God has always been there leading, guiding, and directing you through whatever problem, crisis, or loss you are struggling to overcome.
HOST/SPEAKER’S - Pastor Paul Steinberg ministers at St. Marcus Lutheran church. He also competed in the world championships if the International Juggler's Association in Montreal and still juggles when he gets a chance. You can learn more about Pastor Stienberg at Stmarcus.org [GJ - where doctrine is juggled every day.]
Mark is running for Governor to provide a positive vision for the future of our state and nation. You can learn more about him and his campaign at markforgov.com
Brian Arthur Lampe along with his wife Tracey of 16 years and their daughter Lindsey are members of St Marcus Lutheran church in Milwaukee, WI. They are involved in the Wandani D4L, youth ministries. You can learn more about the Lampes at CEO-ministries
(Bulletin blurb)
The truth is living by faith is neither an option nor a part-time activity. As we progress in our journey of faith our Triune God wants us to upgrade our level of faith until we reach maturity. Through the
means of grace, He keeps us engaged in the experience of life by motivating us by the Gospel of Christ!
Please join us October 17th 2009 at Wisconsin Lutheran College as we encourage, and reassure one another that thanks be to God we are always walking in faith—fearless faith. You can find registration

Kenneth J. Schmidt has left a new comment on your post "Everyone's A Pastor at Church and Change (aka St. ...":
Mr. Lampe's statement "Men are tough to reach, but they are reachable." is a classic example of modern American Evangelicalism's subtle and sometimes not so subtle disparagement of males. Its pretty much standard Baptist/Pentecostal fare that men are somehow spiritually inferior to women. They have done an excellent job of driving men away and keeping them away with emotionalism and treacly sentimentality. Old Missouri (and to a certain extent present day WELS) always had a good balance of men and women in the pews. If WELS and Missouri become a playtoy of the enthusiasts watch the men drift away.

GJ - At Church and Chicanery, the pastor and his wife are always introduced as a ministry team. The same is being done at CEO - no surprise. The last 50 years have emphasized women voting, but the Biblical issue is "women teaching men" and "women usurping authority over men." Both topics are broader than suffrage, but conservatives like suffrage because they can spin that a dozen ways.
At Joel Osteen's Palace of Enthusiasm, his wife preaches as the co-pastor. She preached incautiously that "God wants us to worship our children." She seemed to regret her words and tried to dance around them.
The Mark Jeske And Avoid Him research team has observed the products of his media empire. Ski and Bishop Katie need monthly revivals at Enthusiasm conferences to keep their ministry going. Lampe and his wife have started their own ministry business - another symptom of American Evangelicalism. What qualifies Team Lampe? Who called them to preach and teach?
As Roger Zehms (WELS) and Floyd Luther Stolzenburg (faux-WELS) said at an LPR meeting, "The Holy Spirit has called us, so we do not answer to anyone." Indeed, the Shrinkers think God answers to them. They order God around and make demands upon Him that sound strangely like the corporate goals of Pepsico - 10% growth a year each year.
