{The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge} Kitchen Table Talks: The Incarnation of Christ

Once again, the Lutheran Ladies welcome a man (GASP!) into the Lounge for a Kitchen Table Talk conversation, inspired by Martin Luther’s famous Reformation “table talk” conversations with his students.

In this episode, LCMS International Center chaplain Pastor Sean Daenzer returns to offer wise and friendly counsel on a seasonally appropriate theological hot topic: the Incarnation.

What do Christians believe and confess about the bodily birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus? How does Christ’s ongoing bodily existence change the way we view and value our own bodies? How does the Incarnation form our view of what it means to consume the Body and Blood of Christ? To be the Body of Christ? How do these confessional convictions impact our aesthetics, particularly with regard to images like manger scenes and crucifixes? Above all, why is it important for Christians to keep talking about the Incarnation, especially during Advent and Christmas?

The Rev. Sean Daenzer serves as director of worship for The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and as chaplain of the LCMS International Center in Saint Louis. A veteran guest of KFUO Radio programs including Concord Matters and Sharper Iron, Rev. Daenzer can now be heard regularly through his Daily Chapel sermons.

Sarah Gulseth

A proud Michigan native and fan of anything with the Mitten State on it, Digital Media Manager Sarah Gulseth is also a lover of historical war movies and anything with the label PBS Masterpiece. An avid bicyclist and women’s biking advocate, she rides her bike to work year-round and has the massive bike clothing and accessory collection to prove it. If it’s the weekend, she and her husband Luther are probably out riding bikes, or finding the next awesome coffee shop to frequent, or rehearsing for the next choir concert. You may also find her down a new rabbit hole on Google, researching the latest random fact she found on social media, while eating an unhealthy amount of apples (Macintosh from Michigan, of course) and raw almond butter.
