Welcome to the Pivot Podcast from Luther Seminary’s Faith+Lead!

Join Dr. Dee Stokes and Dr. Dwight Zscheile on a journey to explore the changing landscape of the Church. In today's episode, the co-hosts talk with guest Ted A. Smith, author of "The End of Theological Education," to gain a deeper understanding of the history of the voluntary association model of the church in the U.S., the cultural shifts taking place, what this means for congregational life and ministry moving forward, and where church leaders can find hope today.

Stay tuned for future episodes as we continue to unravel the complexities of this cultural shift.

If you're a pastor, lay leader, or simply curious about how faith communities adapt in changing times, you're in the right place. Let's embark on this journey together!
