TGC 066 - The Lutheran Downgrade

In this Gottescast, The Gottesdienst Crowd chats about the phenomenon of the Lutheran downgrade. What happens when the sacraments are subtly thought of as an add on and not the central means gospel delivery? That's the Lutheran downgrade. Sean Daenzer (pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Great Bend, ND, and Peace Lutheran Church, Barney, ND) and Matt Richard (pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Minot, ND) join us for the discussion.
