The Conversations revisit the foundational teachings and practices of the Church. By asking the enduring Lutheran question, “What does this mean?” we seek to understand our faith, remaining rooted in the truth of Holy Scripture.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. | Colossians 3:16

The Conversations is a recurring feature of Lutheran Church–Canada’s weekly e-newsletter, in response to calls from pastors and laity to return to the fundamentals of the faith. Through guided discussions between the Director of Communications and pastors across LCC, The Conversations help readers understand not only what the Church teaches and does, but why–rooting each topic in Holy Scripture and the life of the Church.

The Conversations on September 24, 2026

In last week’s entry, Rev. Brad Schollenberg continues the discussion on the Gospel and what it is. In today’s Conversation, the Director of Communications (Dr. T) invites him back to close out this topic: How does the Gospel actually change a person’s life?

Rev. Brad Schollenberg is a proud father and grandfather. Married to Heidi, the couple has been blessed with four children and several grandchildren. Rev. Schollenberg is now a retired pastor, having served Peace Lutheran Church in central region for over 30 years.

Rev. Schollenberg’s passionate explanation comes to an end on this topic, so join us next week for a new Conversation!
