Apprising Ministries - No like.
Nadia Bolz-Weber preached at the recent ELCA Youth Gathering. ELCA should do those youth events jointly with WELS and Missouri, so people see what is really hatching at their headquarters. After all, Mark and Avoid Jeske straddles all the Lutheran sects today.
And - Jeske is bisectsual, truly modern. He presents himself as a Lutheran to get his funding, but bases all his work on the emergent Babtists sects like Andy Stanley's and Ed Stetzer's.

Ichabod –
Thank you for providing for your viewers an antithesis of Christian Gospel proclamation (as Luther taught it).
Apparently, this woman can only speak about herself. But, why wouldn't she? Apparently, she is comfortable with her new addiction - "narcissism." At least she is somewhat normal. She speaks in Scooby Doo "like" "I mean" (character) fashion.....
I think it a shame that young people are exposed to freak presentations such as this. Apparently, this woman has no shame. Hasn't this so-called ELCA "pastor" read her Old Testament where God is displeased with marring and marking one's own body? Has she no shame of her past? Can't she cover up that which God is displeased? Also, doesn't she know that God forbids His Name to be frivolously used? But then again, - why should she have any shame? Now, ELCA ordained, she can absolve both herself and her diverse worldly congregation in one happy feel good, church service – a prayer of confession, followed by a quick absolution announcement; capped off with the celebration of Holy Communion………
The pathetic thing of her presentation - and, I say, "Presentation," because it departs from Gospel proclamation, is, that she talks more about herself than Christ. Christ came to save sinners from themselves, not that sinners would be full of themselves.
Finally, toward the very end of her talk, she makes a plug for Lutheranism, - as if being a Lutheran is being someone like herself! I'm sorry, but her antics don't help the proliferation and spread of the Gospel as the Scripture proclaims and as Luther taught it. Lord have mercy on the future of the Christian Religion with flawed and freaky teaching such as come from sources such as this woman.
In short, this woman's idea is that the world should come into the church. Not that the church stands against the world and does its part to help snatch souls out of hell's waiting fires.......
