    Why Christians Should NEVER Sue Each Other…

    What happens when Christians take each other to court… or when marriages fall apart long before anyone asks for help? In this episode of Lead Time, Tim and Jack sit down with Christian attorney Colin Hoffman to unpack the reality of Christian family law, divorce, and what the Bible actually says about conflict between believers. From 1 Corinthians 6 to real-life legal cases, this conversation dives into: - Why Christians suing Christians is a serious issue - What actually leads to divorce (and why it’s often “too late”) - The role of pastors, counseling, and accountability - Spiritual warfare in families (and how it shows up) - How churches can better support struggling marriages - A better path forward: reconciliation, repentance, and truth This episode is both challenging and hopeful—a call for the Church to take marriage, conflict, and spiritual realities seriously again. Do you think Christians should ever take each other to court?

    The LCMS Giving Crisis No One Is Talking About

    In this episode of Lead Time, we respond to the “Giving Crescendo” conversation and break down what’s really happening beneath the surface: an aging church body, a historic wealth transfer, and a short window of opportunity that could either fuel mission—or accelerate decline. Here’s the reality: money won’t save the church. In fact, it may expose just how unprepared we are. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Stay up to date by Joining the LCMS Current!

It’s a leadership test. The future of the LCMS will not be decided by how much money comes in… but by what we do with it.

    Is the LCMS Ignoring Its Biggest Crisis? | Implications of Officer Nomination Vote Totals

    The latest LCMS nomination results may reveal far more than just who might become the next president. Stay up to date by Joining the LCMS Current! (LCMS Current Events Newsletter) https://www.uniteleadership.org/thelcmscurrent In this episode of LEAD TIME, Tim Ahlman and Jack Kalleberg break down what the vote totals could mean for the future trajectory of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. Looking beyond the surface, they explore the deeper story behind the data: institutional stability, declining participation, leadership pipelines, and the growing pastoral shortage facing the church. Is the LCMS signaling a desire to preserve the status quo? Or are deeper structural challenges forcing change in the decades ahead? Tim and Jack discuss five major implications emerging from the nomination data—including why participation matters, why leadership networks may shape the future more than elections, and what this means for pastors, congregations, and mission in the years ahead. This conversation is candid, thoughtful, and ultimately hopeful about how God continues to work through faithful congregations and leaders across the LCMS. If you care about the future of the church, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. And if you got something out of this, share It with a friend.
