What is the tradition of the house blessing? The Rev. Dr. Ross Shaver (serving the Lord in the Dominican Republic as Church Planter and Theological Educator) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about what a house blessing is, why it's traditional in Latin America, the scriptural foundation for house blessing, why someone would request a blessing from their pastor, what happens during a house blessing, what these blessings are and are not, and Pastor Shaver's recommendations for preparing for the season of Epiphany. Learn more about Dr. Shaver's work in the Dominican Republic at lcms.org/shaver.As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
