How do youth learn about applying the Lutheran faith to the culture around them in LCMS Youth Gathering sessions? We sit down with the Rev. Dr. Scott Stiegemeyer (professor of theology, church history, and bioethics at Concordia University Irvine) at the 2025 LCMS Youth Gathering to talk about what he's experienced at this Gathering, how he sees this as a valuable experience for youth, and what youth learned in his two sessions: "Male and Female, Gender in the Light of God’s Word" and "Christianity, Disability, and Our Own Personal Easter."
