The LCMS Florida-Georgia District weathered significant damage from both Hurricanes Helene and Milton. How has the District responded? The Rev. James Rockey, LCMS Florida-Georgia District President, joins Andy and Sarah to talk about the areas that the Florida-Georgia District covers, the impact of the hurricanes on the communities and congregations in this area, how the congregations have been able to respond to the needs of their communities, how the Lutheran Early Response Teams have been bringing the hope and mercy of Christ to their neighbors, and how listeners can help in the disaster response. Learn more about the District-wide and Synod-wide response, including how you can help, at flgadistrict.org.

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.
