Students, if you have recently completed or will soon complete your internship work, we invite you to attend the internship debrief on Tuesday, September 17, 2024. Register online today. Once you register, we’ll send you a Zoom link for the event. There are so many stories to share of how you have been God’s hands and feet in the world during this time. We pray it offers a few moments to connect with your fellow interns and learn from each other as you prepare for the next steps in your faith journey. Questions? Reach out to Contextual Learning, contextuallearning@luthersem.edu

Tripp Fuller and Andy Root lead PopGods: Thinking Theologically about Pop Culture
The latest on-demand course from Faith+Lead Academy is led by Tripp Fuller and Andy Root, and includes Lord of the Rings, Thor, and zombie apocalypses. PopGods: Thinking Theologically about Pop Culture is a great starting place for pub theology, young adult ministry, or even a parents-of-youth group. This course could change forever how you approach small talk about pop culture. The course is available for individual purchase or is included inside the Faith+Lead membership. Luther students can access the course—and many other resources—free of charge until September.
God Pause for July 24: Ephesians 3
In this devotion, Jim Arends ’81 M.Div., meditates on where God fits into our busy lives. Read today’s God Pause.
Updates from the Student Council
Hello from the 2024-2025 Luther Seminary Student Council Executive Team! We are President Linda Davies, Vice President Erik Nelson, Treasurer Brent Seewald-Marquardt, and Secretary Katie Weiland. We had our first meeting on July 13 to address several pieces of important business. We set dates for fall student council elections—at the end of September. We encourage all students to start thinking about whom they might nominate to serve our community on the council. We also chose a faculty advisor and are greatly pleased that Dr. Karoline Lewis has agreed to be with us again this year. We also approved some fund requests from students who are pursuing continuing education programs and trainings. The executive team wants to thank the Luther community for their support. Questions and comments are always welcome.
—Vice President Erik Nelson, on behalf of the 2024-2025 Luther Seminary Student Council
