Faith, Science, and Seeking Understanding

I am a scientist. I am also a Christian. Many would say that this is not possible, from both sides of this coin.

The Necessity for Both

As the son of two Lutheran pastors, I literally grew up in churches. I remember antagonizing my brother one Sunday, resulting in him slapping me in the middle of my mom’s sermon. Yet, the ladies in our congregation still gave us pie that Sunday afternoon. In that moment, I learned that God’s abundant mercy and grace can be seen in people, too.

Reflections from the Interfaith Shabbat

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend an interfaith service and dinner with the Jewish student group on campus called MN Hillel. This is an annual event hosted by Hillel in which they invite students from Christian groups across campus to come learn about them and their practices, and share a meal and service together to build inter-campus community among faith groups who may not normally interact.

Transitions Ahead

Last week I let the student leaders of Lutheran Campus Ministry know that I have resigned my position of Outreach and Program Director and will complete my last day of work with LCM on Wednesday, October 9.

Beloved Is Where We Begin

The beginning of a new year is WILD. Wild as in fun, and overwhelming, and stressful, and full of opportunity.

A Warm Welcome to New Students!

As I enter my sophomore year of college, I remember last year when I began school at the University of Minnesota for the first time. I was excited for my new life to start, but not everything went as I thought it would.

Lent: The season of letting go

“So, what are you giving up for Lent?”

As someone who has been a Christian her whole and has spent a lot of time hanging out at church, I’ve heard this question a lot.
