🎨 When art becomes a reminder to live like Jesus.

Artist Jordan Boessling first began this painting as a teenager, creating a visual expression of his Christian faith. Years later, after spending more time with the Red Letter Challenge, he felt led to revisit the piece and give it new life.

He added five powerful words in crimson:

BEING. FORGIVING. SERVING. GIVING. GOING.

As Jordan painted and prayed through each word, the piece became more than artwork—it became a personal reminder to keep his heart and mind centered on Jesus and to reflect on how these five principles are being lived out in his own walk with Christ.

And that’s the heart of the Red Letter Challenge: not simply knowing what Jesus said, but putting His words into practice. ❤️

We’re grateful to Jordan for sharing his story, creativity, and this beautiful expression of faith.

Lutheran Ministry Leaders & Pastors: Your Voice Matters.

The 2026 State of the LCMS Survey is now live, and this is an opportunity to help provide a clearer picture of ministry across our Synod.

Whether you serve as a pastor, church worker, or ministry leader, your experience and insights can help identify current challenges, celebrate what God is doing, and inform conversations that strengthen and support ministry for the future.

If you serve within the LCMS, I encourage you to take a few moments to complete the survey and share it with other ministry leaders in your network.

Fifty years of marriage. Five children. Four in-laws. Ten grandchildren. And one unforgettable weekend together in beautiful Door County, Wisconsin.

What a gift to celebrate Allison’s parents and the life they have built together—not just the years they have shared, but the family, faith, memories, laughter, and legacy that have grown from their love.

Getting all 21 of us in the same place was a minor miracle. Getting a picture where everyone was looking at the camera may have been an even bigger one!

We are so grateful for the example they have given us. Fifty years of choosing one another, walking through every season together, and creating a family that genuinely loves being together.

Happy 50th anniversary! Your love has blessed generations, and your legacy is still being written. We love you!

📦 Is your faith transforming your life… or has it become another box to check?

Following Jesus was never meant to be a Sunday-only experience.

It’s a daily invitation to live differently, love differently, forgive differently, and lead differently in every area of life. Real discipleship isn’t just knowing what Jesus said, it’s putting His words into practice at home, at work, in your neighborhood, and wherever God has placed you.

When faith moves beyond routine and becomes a way of life, everything begins to change.

What if Jesus isn’t just calling you to believe in Him, but to become more like Him?

❤️ What if the life Jesus calls you to isn’t just better for others, but better for you?

Forgiveness is hard. Loving difficult people is hard. Serving sacrificially is hard.

Yet time and time again, the way of Jesus leads to deeper peace, healthier relationships, stronger families, and lasting joy that the world can’t offer.

Matt Peeples reminds us that following Jesus isn’t about earning God’s love or chasing prosperity, it’s about trusting the One who knows the best way to live.

His path isn’t always the easiest.

But it is always the best.

🚨 What if we’ve had the mission backward?

Too often, we expect people who don’t know Jesus to adapt to our schedules, traditions, and church culture before they ever hear the Gospel.

But what if the Church was never meant to wait behind its walls?

Matt Peeples reminds us that Jesus sends His people into neighborhoods, workplaces, coffee shops, and everyday conversations to meet people where they are. The Gospel moves through ordinary believers living on mission every day.

The goal isn’t simply to invite people into our rhythm.

It’s to bring the hope of Christ into their lives.
