<2021-10-27T23:24:32.000Z> Mance_Majors: Brother thank you for your reply the other day to my post. Are there any good pastors that are /ourguy that I can watch videos of or download sermons. Thank you again.
<2021-10-27T23:39:34.000Z> SuperLutheran: It's an open secret that the Word Fitly Spoken podcast is full of /ourguys/
<2021-10-27T23:44:36.000Z> Mance_Majors: Thanks man. I appreciate it. I'm trying to reclaim my faith. After losing my daughter I've been mad at God, but this morning I woke up and was just a little less sad. That small still voice said. "Do you really think God has anything to do with what niggers do" then I realized my anger has been misplaced. Thank you so much.
<2021-10-28T02:38:28.000Z> SuperLutheran: Any time, brother. We're here for you, and I'm always available to help out if needed
<2021-11-03T12:10:22.000Z> Mance_Majors: Good morning Super. I was raised southern Baptist. My wife was raised catholic. Neither one of us have been to church since we were kids. Since my daughter was murdered we have been searching to attend a church. We are in a lot of spiritual pain. We are going to try this little country lutheran church near our home here in the mountains of East tn. My question is. How do I find out its a good lutheran church?
<2021-11-03T12:13:53.000Z> Mance_Majors: And also my wife would like to have a spiritual conversation with an established lutheran before we go. If that's something you are willing to do. At your absolute convenience of course. Just let me know day and time. She's not working right now so anytime is good. We have threema and telegram.

<2021-11-03T18:22:36.000Z> SuperLutheran: Hello there!
<2021-11-03T18:24:05.000Z> SuperLutheran: I'm happy to talk Lutheranism, brother. The first thing to do when checking out a church that says it's Lutheran is to look at the website or call and find out which synovial affiliation they have.
<2021-11-03T18:25:40.000Z> SuperLutheran: the safest bet, provided it's a liturgical congregation, is either the Missouri Synod (LCMS) or Wisconsin Synod (WELS). The LCMS and WELS are doing their best to stay faithful and confessional in spite of manifold attempts to subvert them by our enemies.
<2021-11-03T18:26:11.000Z> SuperLutheran: *synodical affiliation - stupid autocorrect
<2021-11-03T18:28:18.000Z> SuperLutheran: then there's the pietist option, which you find with Laestadian Lutheran churches and the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations (AFLC). They're rigorous for doing good works and emphasizing devotion, but they're a different breed than LCMS/WELS. They're usually less liturgical, but more reliably conservative. 
<2021-11-03T18:30:08.000Z> SuperLutheran: whatever you do, avoid any "Lutheran" group that ordains women. The ELCA, NALC, and LCMC are all terrible about that and often permit egregious sins withing their churches. For crying out loud, elca ordains trannies and atheists. Not Lutheran at all, but they love to pretend they have the heritage 
<2021-11-03T18:31:57.000Z> SuperLutheran: As for a convo on our beliefs in particular, my availability is shot at the moment while settling into a new church. If the pastor of the place you're checking out can't help y'all out, it might be a couple weeks before we could have an audio conversation. That said, if you dm me any questions I'll answer them as quickly as I can!
<2021-11-03T18:41:53.000Z> Mance_Majors: Thank you that helps
<2021-11-03T18:47:11.000Z> Mance_Majors: It's an ELCA affiliation
