Pat Keifert died suddenly last week. It was a shock and we are stunned. He was a brilliant scholar and a professor at Luther Seminary for many years.
I would like to honor his memory by sharing the story of how I knew him and how he impacted my theology and ministry
This is the sermon I preached on Ash Wednesday at Luther Seminary, Feb. 18, 2026. Remember that you are a beloved clump of dirt, filled with the breath of God.
This week I am working on thumbnails for an oil painting project. A family commissioned me to do a painting to honor the memory of their son who was killed in a motorcycle accident. I am so honored that the family gave me permission to share the journey of creating this painting.
It was announced yesterday that I have been appointed Dean of the Chapel at Luther Seminary. This post is my reflection on how the cloud led us, quite unexpectedly, to this moment.
