Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord

What is the history behind the Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord, and how does it fit uniquely into our church year? The Rev. Sean Daenzer, LCMS Director of Worship and Chaplain for the LCMS International Center, joins Andy and Sarah to talk about what this day in our church year is and what makes it important, why the global church celebrates Transfiguration on different dates, the unique features of this day, why the One Year Lectionary has "Pre-Lent", and how Transfiguration transitions us into the season of Lent. Learn more about our church year and liturgical feasts at lcms.org/worship.

As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
