Class is back in session, Ladies, as Sarah continues her diaconal studies at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis!

In this episode, Sarah invites listeners to look over her shoulder as she reviews notes from her first intensive: Intro to Spiritual Care and condenses 20 hours of class material into five key takeaways useful for the “Everyday Lutheran Lady.”

Covering core concepts like the four directions of worship, the different levels and layers of tradition, theologies of glory and the cross, the theology and practice of prayer, principles of spiritual caregiving and visitation, and the art of active listening, Sarah offers a crash course survey that’s as edifying as it is educational.

Resources referenced include the following:
