In America the Church for many years enjoyed a preferred place in society, and the confession of the Church was seen as being in conformity with the world. This is no longer the case, and has not been for several decades. While the church has been on the front lines for the battle over abortion since 1973, the devil was busy attacking not only children, but also man and woman and marriage. \r\nThe purpose of this dissertation is briefly to introduce to congregations how to teach on life issues using the Scriptures, the Lutheran Confessions, and the Divine Service of the Lutheran Church. The project I conducted at Bethlehem and St. Peter’s Lutheran Parish gave a brief overview of marriage, the biblical perspectives on man and woman, the blessings of children, and Satan’s assault on these good gifts from God. The project had a second portion of study, which dealt with Luther’s three estates as he outlines in the Fourth Commandment in the Large Catechism. Finally, the project engaged with the Kansas District Life Conference of which I oversaw planning, leading, and advertising within the district. \r\nThe participants in the project were members of Bethlehem and St. Peter’s who attended the nine week bible study, which began with a questionnaire to obtain a baseline of understanding concerning life issues and political issues in our country, as well as frequency of attendance, political views, the age of each participant, and gender. The Bible study was broken into three sections, the first dealing with marriage, man and woman, and children, using the example of the Holy Family. The second section dealt with Satan’s assault on these gifts which God gives, and matters in the culture we are facing today such as transgenderism, toxic masculinity, feminism, and homosexual marriage. The final three weeks dealt with the Christian life within Luther’s three estates: home, church, and state. \r\nFollowing the Bible study the participants were asked to complete a second questionnaire to indicate changes in opinion or knowledge on life issues and political issues, and if they found this method useful to help confess the truth of God’s Word in the world. Four participants were asked to give one hour interviews with me to further reflect upon their answers, as well as give other thoughts on the project and the Christian life. The results were studied and reflected upon at the end of this paper, as well as my concluding thoughts and areas of further study. \r\nIn summary, catechesis on life issues has to be addressed in the home and the school as well as the church, with pastors assisting parents to teach and lead their families. As the Church finds herself at odds with the world, and the threat of persecution looms over us, it is all the more important that we speak the truth of God’s Word and guard ourselves and children through faithful instruction so we may face the world with courage."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["public","work_editor"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu","ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791135177922052096,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:46:56.396Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-12-13T13:43:45Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:49:31Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"8f015d2c-0d8a-4f67-8567-a6d7224f4dcb","accessControl_ssim":["2e89d53f-461d-4542-a069-afb6466cbf1a"],"depositor_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"title_tesim":["Teaching Biblical Virtue for Lutheran Catechesis at Redeemer LCMS in Shawnee, Oklahoma"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-12-13T13:43:44Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T02:19:23Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["7d9ffb7c-db11-4630-b395-72c049279ed3"],"hasLease_ssim":["55a4f820-bf7d-457e-94a4-fe87b335f7d7"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Gifford Grobien"],"committee_member_tesim":["John Pless","James Bushur"],"year_tesim":["2022"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

Classical terms like virtue and vice, and with them excellence, integrity, character, courage, justice, wisdom, and self-control are often said but are heard as unrelated vocabulary words and so easily manipulated. What is needed is for youth to have a foundation of virtue as a whole in a biblical perspective so that they can begin to wisely build upon this concept intellectually, practically, and spiritually throughout their lives. \r\nReviewing virtue works past and present, this study explores the exegetical, historical, systematic, and practical resources for teaching virtue in order to create a tool for instilling virtue to the Church’s youth and all who will learn, especially for the Confirmation class at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The effectiveness of this resource over seven weeks of Confirmation classes was then evaluated by reactions from the kids, catechists, and parents, along with triangulation measures from area churches not using this resource. May this endeavor be blessed to know Peter’s intended outcome: “For if these are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ… Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these, you will never fail” (2 Pt 1:8, 10)."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com","roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"_version_":1791135343738617856,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:49:34.531Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-12-13T13:40:23Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:50:55Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"d58d8b09-0c14-4c8d-ab1f-5b863e102d3c","accessControl_ssim":["084e4ae4-77a7-4eb3-8f2d-d7cb3019ebfe"],"depositor_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"title_tesim":["Vocation: Helping Teens Discover and Live Out Their High Calling"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-12-13T13:40:22Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T04:14:07Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["eff33b1f-3e7e-44af-b5a2-aca376014efc"],"hasLease_ssim":["55195761-175d-41d1-ba1d-0886778c204a"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["David L.

Alternatively, the biblical concept of vocation teaches that people serve as God’s agents to lovingly sustain the world through their roles (vocations) in life—in family, at work, in the community and church. Teens need of what the teaching of vocation offers. A high calling is offered through the biblical concept of vocation. However, there are few, if any, materials or curricula available to teach the concept of vocation for today’s high school audience. The concern over a lack of materials or curricula on vocation prompted the focus of this project. If materials were created for a high school audience, and then taught, would the topic be seen as relevant and resonate with the audience? Further, would this material also be comprehended and understood? The challenge of this project was to create a curriculum that would be designed in such a way that the concept would be remembered and applied. This experiment in ministry helped the writer grow in the understanding of the topic of vocation and, through providing a written curriculum, introduced students to a new way of seeing their life in Christ and God’s ultimate purpose for them in being a channel of His love and care to others."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com","roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"_version_":1791135432398864384,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:50:59.084Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-12-12T21:31:06Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:51:31Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"e94d32c3-83f4-4987-950a-7e91d70a5e60","accessControl_ssim":["f305bbbe-ea0f-40a0-998d-fcae4f4b7af5"],"depositor_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"title_tesim":["From Disorder to Order: Using the Three Estates to Establish Godly Order in the Congregation"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-12-12T21:31:06Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T04:48:41Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["2646b0e3-5be4-4a9d-980b-1f6ec573edb1"],"hasLease_ssim":["c6d43521-9b34-442a-8ef7-11bf0cec70d3"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Gifford Grobien"],"committee_member_tesim":["Benjamin Mayes","Naomichi Masaki"],"year_tesim":["2022"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

Long-standing rivalries can come to the forefront and create dissension and strife that threaten to tear apart God's people. Satan uses human sin to stir up disorder within the Christian congregation. God's word, however, is an ordering word that overcomes the work of Satan to reestablish good order.\r\nThis project addresses an instance of congregational conflict that occurred as the result of the decline and eventual closure of the school that was operated by St. Paul Lutheran Church in Milford Center, Ohio. The congregation was divided between those who felt that the school was too great a financial burden for the congregation to continue to carry and those who believed that the school was too vital a piece of the spiritual development for the congregation's children to allow it to close. The period in question was one of great strain to the congregation that resulted in division and disagreement and disorder.\r\nThe doctrine of the three estates affirms that God has designed a specific order into his creation through his institution of the church, the family, and the civil government. Within these estates, God has established a holy order with offices that have been given a specific domain in which they are to exercise authority as a trust and stations that are given to be subordinate to those offices. These offices are arranged within the spheres of the three estates, namely the church, the household, and the civil government. Through authority, God protects the individual members of a community and ensures their protection and provision. God calls on each member of the community to willingly place themselves under the care of their authorities. Conflict and disorder arise when authorities misuse or abuse their office or when members of a community refuse to practice subordination.\r\nThe intent of this study was to teach the scripture passages and related doctrine to the members of St. Paul Lutheran Church during its period of disorder. Special attention would be given to teach the spiritual discipline of subordination together with the right use of authority. Subordination is the willing surrender of oneself such that the individual takes the role of a servant within a community. Likewise, authority is to be used in service to the community and in subordination to Christ. The assumption of the study is that God's word is an ordering word and through the teaching and the preaching of that word order would be restored. A teaching plan was developed that sought to make the doctrines concrete using visual aids and metaphors. Following the teaching, a survey was conducted to determine the effectiveness of that teaching. The subsequent calm and the restoration of order and a well-functioning congregational hierarchy suggest that the effort was successful."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com","roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"_version_":1791135469850853376,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:51:34.801Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-12-12T21:12:11Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:51:42Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"f99185c0-002e-4350-a7a8-d3810e955275","accessControl_ssim":["7f2571ea-b106-41b6-8522-a8981c651c41"],"depositor_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"title_tesim":["Post-confirmation Youth Retention through Educational Continuity"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-12-12T21:12:09Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T05:15:23Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["4cbbc05b-792a-48aa-aee2-d12b0f8d340d"],"hasLease_ssim":["34045312-319d-4ba8-b697-f3c0fcb88326"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["John Pless"],"committee_member_tesim":["James Bushur","Carl Fickenscher II"],"year_tesim":["2021"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

Using the Six Chief parts of the Small Catechism as a structure, the method includes an original daily lectionary with questions for use in the home (and school) and serves a two-fold purpose: 1) to synthesize around the Six Chief Parts of the Small Catechism all of the voices given by God to teach the faith; and 2) to encourage and equip parents, especially fathers, to take up the catechetical task for their children."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu","ckarpinski@atla.com"],"_version_":1791135217739628544,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:47:34.369Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-12-12T19:23:00Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:48:19Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"5af2d202-5067-4a1f-8a4a-4af72e18714d","accessControl_ssim":["8121e036-1607-43e8-80ab-4531516935be"],"depositor_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"title_tesim":["Lutheran Hymnody as a Resource for Oratio, Meditatio, and Tentatio"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-12-12T19:23:00Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T00:48:24Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["4c8f486b-30d2-4f01-a854-32642f54364e"],"hasLease_ssim":["689da56e-4cc5-4d19-ae5e-615ab672c0b1"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Richard Resch"],"committee_member_tesim":["Richard Stuckwisch","Peter Scaer"],"year_tesim":["2021"],"resource_type_tesim":["D.Min.

God has always used poetry set to music to teach and proclaim His Word to His people. Throughout the Old Testament and New Testament, we see evidence of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs that contain the Word of God to help people read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest the truth of our Lord’s salvific plan. The first Christians continued to incorporate hymns and songs in their worship and daily life. Martin Luther and the reformers of the sixteenth century used hymnody as a vehicle to proclaim Christ and catechize the people to see that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ Jesus alone. Using a variety of methods set forth herein, this project set out to help people see true nature of Lutheran hymnody and how it can be used as a resource for daily Oratio, Meditatio, and Tentatio. These methods did indeed foster a change in people’s attitudes toward Lutheran hymnody and helped them see that the hymns – as an extension of God’s Word – can be an important part of their daily life in Christ."],"rights_statement_tesim":["https://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"],"thumbnail_path_ss":"/assets/work-a3b75da7abded620ab321410c80d102e5e2417b71c54de7ba7d4b0363da904f7.png","suppressed_bsi":false,"actionable_workflow_roles_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-approving","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-depositing","f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8-default-managing"],"workflow_state_name_ssim":["deposited"],"member_of_collections_ssim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"member_of_collection_ids_ssim":["f49f809a-65b5-4566-bfbb-5756e01b6bc7"],"visibility_ssi":"open","admin_set_tesim":["Metadata Only"],"account_cname_tesim":["rim.ir.atla.com"],"human_readable_type_tesim":["Etd"],"read_access_group_ssim":["work_editor","public"],"edit_access_group_ssim":["admin"],"edit_access_person_ssim":["ckarpinski@atla.com","roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"_version_":1791135269391433728,"timestamp":"2024-02-17T08:48:23.628Z","score":1.0},{"system_create_dtsi":"2023-12-12T19:15:58Z","system_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T08:48:44Z","has_model_ssim":["Etd"],"id":"6a4cdddb-ab75-4d9b-b8ba-42b10a6480c5","accessControl_ssim":["625c1d13-fc10-4536-815f-dcf644f764bd"],"depositor_ssim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"depositor_tesim":["roger.peters@ctsfw.edu"],"title_tesim":["Leading a Congregation to Begin an Early Childhood Ministry for Outreach to Young Families"],"date_uploaded_dtsi":"2023-12-12T19:15:57Z","date_modified_dtsi":"2024-02-17T01:14:49Z","isPartOf_ssim":["f6c99b2a-5c91-4444-8946-01a1837f1fd8"],"hasEmbargo_ssim":["69a445a1-c21f-4010-ad04-f582d494c947"],"hasLease_ssim":["82e26517-f87c-4402-af0d-51a5184e2520"],"show_pdf_viewer_tesim":["1"],"show_pdf_download_button_tesim":["1"],"institution_tesim":["Atla RIM"],"degree_tesim":["Doctor of Ministry"],"degree_granting_institution_tesim":["Concordia Theological Seminary"],"advisor_tesim":["Carl C.
