Concord Matters – Joy:Fully Lutheran because of the Gospel

Rev. Sean Smith

If you listened to KFUO in the 1990s, you may have heard Rev. Sean Smith, Concord Matters host and pastor of Immanuel-Campbell Hill and St. Paul-Wine Hill, Illinois, announcing hymns with his grandfather. Instead of binge watching the latest Netflix craze, he’ll be soaking up J.S. Bach while reading his current favorite historical or C.F.W. Walther book, or maybe he’ll be hiking through Forest Park while dreaming of traveling to Ireland. When his wife, Heather, isn’t spoiling him with decadent foods and desserts, you may find him making wine or drinking coffee out of his grandfather’s Texaco coffee mug while wearing his favorite sweater while looking forward to Cardinals’ playoff baseball.
