Preserving the Faith: Schools, Outreach, and Building the Camp

In this week's episode of Christendom and the World, Pastor Andrew Preus sits down with Pastor James Wilshusen to talk about the purpose of Christian education, the Benedict Option, and what it means for the church to build and maintain a faithful "camp" without becoming isolated from the world.

They discuss demographic changes in the church, the return of men to Sunday attendance, the Lutheran approach to schooling, and why preserving confessional identity is not opposed to outreach—but actually necessary for it.

From cloisters and classical education to outreach and vocation, this conversation explores why Luther cared so deeply about schools, why the church needs its home base, and how a Christ-centered education prepares Christians to live and confess the faith in every station of life.
