From Nicaea to Now: How the Church’s Confession of the Incarnate Son Addresses the Problem of Gender Identity Ideology
No full textWhat is a man? What is a woman? Answers today are often given in terms of gender as a culturally constructed performance rather than created biological sex. We see this in the 2015 Vanity Fair cover featuring Caitlyn Jenner. It reinforced the idea that womanhood is a role to be performed, not an embodied reality. But we also see this when Christian influencers promote “trad wife” culture. It reduces womanhood to behavioral norms and aesthetic choices shaped more by culture than grounded in creation. This presentation argues that the Nicene confession of the Son’s incarnation is essential to clarifying contemporary confusions about gender identity. The eternal Word became flesh not in abstraction or symbol, but in a real, human body. This confession of Jesus Christ — who is the exact imprint of God’s nature — grounds our understanding of personhood in the goodness of creation, the reality of the body and the concrete particularity of human life

05-01 Under the Fig Tree: Back from Summer
No full textAfter a summer off, Under the Fig Tree is back! In this episode, Rev. Tom Schlund joins Kati Gaschler as a new host of the podcast. They sit down with President Thomas J. Egger and take a deep dive into the 2024-25 academic year theme Let Us Fix Our Eyes on Jesus, based on Heb. 12:2. Egger shares some behind-the-scenes about the selection process the theme and why this year\u27s choice rose to the top. He encourages listeners, Don\u27t let Jesus come into the world and be right near you and find yourself looking everywhere but [at him]...There\u27s no one so worthy of our gaze and our attention as Christ through His Word and through His Sacraments.
They discuss the importance of being daily reminded to keep Jesus the focus of our lives. When giving advice to future students, Egger shares, The church is certainly saying to young people who are looking at \u27What should I do in life? How can I serve my neighbor? How can I use my gifts?\u27 the church is saying, our congregations are saying, \u27Come and preach the Gospel to us.\u27 We have a great need for pastors, we have a great need for Lutheran school teachers, we have a great need for deaconesses in the church.
