Barrier Breakers or Distinction Keepers? The Tension Shaping the LCMS

The LCMS wrestles with real division — often labeled “confessional vs. missional.” But is the deeper tension actually between Barrier Breakers and Distinction Keepers?

In this episode, Pastor Bryan Wolfmueller joins Tim and Jack for an honest dialogue about the state of the Synod — and whether conversations like this podcast are helping or hurting. Together they explore:

- What drives “barrier breakers” and “distinction keepers”
- Why polarization happens inside the church
- How confession and absolution can restore unity

👉 We want to hear from you: Is this podcast part of the solution or the problem?
