What if the greatest untapped mission field in the LCMS isn’t overseas—but in your preschool?
Dr. Douglas Krengel joins Pastor Tim to reveal jaw-dropping findings from his LCMS-wide research on early childhood ministries—and the shocking disconnect between pastors and preschool directors. With over 76,000 kids in LCMS early learning centers and most pastors having zero training in early childhood education, are we missing the Reformation right under our noses?
They dive deep into:
The controversial "homophily effect" that divides our churches
Why many pastors still view early childhood ministry as “women’s work”
How we’re failing to speak the #1 mission language today: Modern Mom
The domino effect a thriving pastor-director relationship can unleash
This episode pulls no punches. It’s time for LCMS leaders to wake up—and start learning from the very people we’ve overlooked.
👉 Like, share, and comment to move the mission forward.
