After looking around the internet and seeing what pastors, particularly my generation, were posting, I decided that my audio only catechism classes were better than some of them, even the video ones, that sounded liked the biology professor in Wonder Years. What started me thinking in this vein was a Confessional Lutheran college student who in a sea of meh Lutheranism remained firm and is now a parish pastor. He grew up in a remote area; he said that he learned Confessional Lutheranism from the internet. That was 7 or 8 years ago. I’ve been thinking about doing this ever since. Continue reading
