Synod Stories is a show about the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod: where it’s been, where it is, and where it’s going.

Our goal is to look at the entire Synod—celebrating its wins, facing its challenges, and exploring the unique perspectives that shape its future. We’ll talk with Circuit Visitors and others who can share insights you won’t hear from a single congregation or a synodical official.

We’re starting with coverage from the convention, but this is just the beginning. Join us as we tell the stories of the LCMS from voices across the church body.
