Is there a Bible verse that has been especially meaningful in your life? Come share it with fellow students and hear the stories behind the scriptural texts that have shaped us. Luther Whole Life is a weekly, one-hour Zoom gathering for seminary students to pause, connect, reflect, and encourage one another as we navigate the demands of seminary and preparation for ministry. Through guided conversation, gratitude, and prayer, we’ll explore practices that support spiritual, emotional, physical, relational, and vocational well-being. This Month: Spiritual Health | This Week: Favorite Bible Verses. All students are welcome. No preparation is required. Wednesdays 7:30–8:30 p.m. CT on Zoom (link in email).

In this devotion, Heather Hansen, ‘04 M.A., ‘15 M.Div., discusses how we are deeply rooted in faith. Read today’s God Pause.

We gather at 11 a.m. CT in the OCC Meditation Chapel and online (link in email) for contemplative practice of your choice—mindful sketching, centering prayer, or however you choose to engage silence. This week will be facilitated by Steve Thomason. We will read the text and then engage in contemplative practice in silence for 15 minutes. Afterward, you are welcome to sit in fellowship or go about your day. Our text this week is Joshua 1. Share your prayer requests.
