In this episode of the Ground Up Faith Podcast, we talk about Ted Lasso and the Gospel. In August of 2020 Apple TV released a new show called Ted Lasso. It took the world by storm and chances are, unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard of it.The show features Ted and his trusty sidekick Coach Beard as American Football coaches moving to England to coach football…or as we'd call it, soccer.Ted is upbeat, polite, and enthusiastic…always finding the best side of everything. It is a breath of fresh air in the midst of an often challenging world.It was during this same time that Pastor Matthew Titus, who we will meet today, saw something even more in Ted Lasso; a connection to the diving and an entry point into the Bible. He saw so much in fact that he wrote a book about it, The Gospel According to Ted Lasso…Finding God's love within a show about being out of place, but being in the right place all along. We'll meet Pastor Matt and hear all about his book in today's show.Copies of his book can be found here:https://www.amazon.com/Gospel-According-Ted-Lasso/dp/B09RM4DQXJ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+gospel+according+to+ted+lasso&qid=1644949972&sprefix=the+gospel+a%2Caps%2C120&sr=8-1

Many faith bodies and faith-related groups organize legislative advocacy. Amy Reumann, director of Witness and Society for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), explains how the ELCA's legislative advocacy is rooted in faith and theology, collective study of policy concerns, and ELCA ministries at the local, national, and international levels. The ELCA, its churches, and people are active in advocacy with state governments, the United Nations, and corporations as well as with the federal government. Whenever possible, they bring powerful decision-makers into conversations with the people and organizations that the ELCA and its people know through their on-the-ground ministries—homeless people, for example, or local churches in Central America. ELCA congregations bring people from all across the political spectrum together in worship, fellowship, and study. Series: "UC Public Policy Channel" [Public Affairs] [Show ID: 36994]
