Join Pastors Sam and Caleb and special guest, Dr. Joel Oesch, for their conversation on how we might be able to find authentic and genuine community in a world that has suddenly been forced to operate primarily online.

How has this crisis rewired our habits and rituals for both good and bad? On this episode, we wrestle with these questions and more during our conversation from our Facebook Live video. Dr. Oesch joins us from Concordia University in Irvine, CA. He holds a PhD from Concordia Seminary and is a graduate of Yale University. Dr. Oesch has served as the Director of the Graduate Programs in Theology for Christ College, Concordia since 2012. His research interests include embodied theology, the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and contemporary culture.With everything said, we know that God works all things out for good and that Jesus is reigning on the throne!
