Note that the online student listening via the computer near the window.
Stroh coached the Latte Couch Church into oblivion;

Let the hilarity begin as we contemplate the scam of life-coaching.

Who are these life-coaches, you wonder?


Rick Loewen. 
Rick is currently called by Crosswalk Lutheran Church. At Crosswalk, he serves for a subsidiary ministry called CrossTrain Ministries. CrossTrain Ministries is a self-supporting ministry in partnership with Grace in Action Ministries.


Jeff Gunn!
The means of grace are the key to people growing in their faith. One way to deliver the means of grace to the people of our congregation is via a groups system. [GJ - Note the greasy bait and switch. Pietistic cell groups are the means of grace for Jeff, whose son is an atheist. Start at home, Jeff. Crosswalk is embraced by DP Jon-Boy Buchholz, who once pretended to be against Crosswalk and tried to de-fund the parish. Now Jeff sits on his lap at WELS conferences.]


Kudu Don, on the right, is still listed as a VP.
His drunken "spiritual retreats" are legendary.

He currently serves as the first vice president of the South Central District of the WELS. His passion is mission work and church leadership. His hobbies are exercise and anything that happens outdoors, like killing dangerous African deer.
