Moses introduces the revolutionary concept of the Sabbath year, a time of debt forgiveness and liberation, underscoring God's deep concern and compassion within the Israelite community. He instructs the people to cancel debts every seven years, urging them to lend generously and without hesitation, knowing that God's blessing would compensate their generosity. Moses also commands the humane treatment of Hebrew slaves, who are to be freed in the seventh year with sufficient resources to start anew. The Rev. Levi Willms, associate pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church of Sauk Rapids, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Deuteronomy 15. Come along as we dive into the timeless wisdom of Deuteronomy. This ancient book is more than history; it's a vibrant blueprint for living in harmony with God's will. Discover the profound teachings on law, justice, and morality, and hear how they resonate in our lives today. Deuteronomy calls us to obedience, love for our neighbor, and the crucial task of imparting faith to future generations. It's a narrative of love, responsibility, and the blessings of faithfulness, juxtaposed with warnings against forgetting our covenant with God. Join us as we explore the enduring messages of Deuteronomy and witness how they can transform our understanding of faith and daily living for Christ.

The Rev. Levi Willms, associate pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church of Sauk Rapids, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 21:1-26. Paul is determined to go to Jerusalem, despite the danger. In Caesarea, a prophet named Agabus foretells that Paul will be bound and delivered to the Gentiles in Jerusalem. Paul's companions and the local Christians urge him not to go, but Paul is ready to face imprisonment and death for the sake of Christ. Paul then visits James and the elders of the Jerusalem church, who rejoice at his report of God's work among the Gentiles, but they are concerned about rumors that he is teaching Jews to abandon the law of Moses. The Book of Acts takes us back to the earliest days of Christianity, unveiling the incredible acts of the apostles and the growth of the early church. Acts offers a firsthand account how the Apostles and Jesus' disciples respond to his death and resurrection. It makes us witnesses to the beginning of fulfilling Jesus's command to spread the Gospel from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. We encounter miracles and wonders, we see the church struggling to organize itself in the absence of Jesus, and we learn of the trials and tribulations the early Christians faced in a world that rejected them.

Updated: 9:38 a.m.Professor Brittany Merritt Nash's honors history students at the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University were familiar with racial covenants — clauses inserted into property deeds that reserved homes and land exclusively for white people, or prohibited them from being sold to certain ethnic groups, including Jews.But most research on restrictive covenants has focused on the Twin Cities metro. The students wondered whether the same thing happened in central Minnesota, and decided to launch their own research in Stearns County. Halfway through the semester, they'd uncovered 95 racial covenants in St. Cloud, St. Joseph, Cold Spring and Sauk Centre — proving that attempts to prevent people of color from owning property extended well beyond the Twin Cities.“I think that all of us found it really remarkable how many there were,” Nash said.Click here to view the map.https://www.datawrapper.de/_/3gfI0/‘Measure of security'St. Cloud had about 20,000 residents in the 1920s and very few people of color. But that didn't stop housing developers from writing restrictions aimed at keeping out anyone who wasn't Caucasian, said Christopher P. Lehman, an ethnic studies professor at St. Cloud State University and author of the book, “Slavery's Reach: Southern Slaveholders in the North Star State.” “I suppose with these restrictive covenants came a measure of security that these all white places were just going to stay all white for a long time,” Lehman said. While researching Stearns County's property records for historic evidence of slavery in Minnesota, Lehman discovered much more recent examples of discrimination.“So instead of finding real estate deeds related to slavery in the 1850s, I was finding restrictive covenants related to the 1950s,” he said.Standard discriminatory language After reading about Lehman's work, the students at St. Ben's and St. John's decided to expand on it. They spent hours combing through Stearns County's digitized property record and found startling results. For example, a covenant from what is now St. Cloud's Centennial Park neighborhood includes this clause: “No person or persons other than of the Caucasian race shall be permitted to occupy said premises or any part thereof."The students say builders often added standard discriminatory language to deeds for all homes in a new development. The covenants might not have actively kept out people of color, because there were so few of them. But the practice still had lasting impacts on social, cultural and economic life, Merritt Nash said.“It still created in general the sense that St. Cloud and central Minnesota are restrictive communities, in which people of color aren't welcome,” she said.Lingering impactsRacial covenants didn't just exclude people from owning a home, but also from the perks of living in a neighborhood — including access to parks, schools and businesses, Lehman said.“By not being able to buy homes in that area, you don't have property that you can pass down to your kids,” he said. “So the important intergenerational wealth is missing from the families of those who are excluded from those neighborhoods.”The students say their findings counter the notion that racism was absent or less of an influencing factor in northern states such as Minnesota. Rather, it was silently ingrained in many systems, including home ownership, said Robert Smith, a junior biology major.“It's important to spread awareness that this did have an effect on many people's lives, and it continues to ripple into today,” Smith said. Racial covenants became illegal in Minnesota in 1953, but some were drafted well after that. Nash's students found one deed signed in 1981.Patterns of discriminationThe number of racial covenants the students uncovered in Stearns County doesn't surprise Kirsten Delegard, co-founder of the Mapping Prejudice Project at the University of Minnesota. It's uncovered about 30,000 similar documents in Hennepin and Ramsey counties so far.“We know that racial covenants are pretty much in every county across the country,” Delegard said. “There's no place that people have gone looking for them where they have not found them.”Delegard said powerful organizations with extensive reach promoted the use of racial covenants. That included the National Association of Realtors and the federal government, which made racial covenants a condition of favorable loan rates in the 1930s.She said people often mistakenly think of racial covenants as a reaction to the migration of Black people from the rural South to the urban North. “One of the things that is illuminating about looking at Minnesota is finding that that pattern just doesn't hold true — that it's a preemptive effort here to make sure that all the land is reserved for white people,” Delegard said.While racial covenants are no longer enforceable, Nash said the students want to continue studying lingering racial divides in real estate — including white flight to suburbs such as Sartell, Sauk Rapids and Cold Spring as St. Cloud's population has gotten more diverse.“Even though the deeds aren't valid anymore, the attitudes and the understandings continue to linger,” she said.Seeking changeSome greater Minnesota cities including Rochester and Mankato have launched efforts to track and remove racial covenants, many through the Just Deeds coalition.No organized effort is underway yet in Stearns County, but the students say they're sharing their research with the county history museum to raise awareness. Stearns County Recorder Rita Lodermeier said the county board hasn't taken any formal action on the issue, but her office has reached out to the Just Deeds project.

Rev. Keith Weise, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and chaplain of the Good Shepherd Community in Sauk Rapids, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study 1 Corinthians 7:17-24. The Corinthian Christians, not unlike many today, were obsessed with self-improvement and getting ahead in life. St. Paul turns the tables on that idea and tells them, “Let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him.” (v. 17) Uncircumcised or circumcised? Stay that way. Free person or bondservant? Don't worry about it. In Christ, those who are free are servants of God and those who are servants are free in Christ. In this episode, Pastors Booe and Weise explore what St. Paul means by, “Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called.” (v. 20)

Rev. Keith Weise, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Communities in Sauk Rapids, MN joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 34. In horror, we hear of the depth of darkness in our world. Rape, lies, murder, and deceit make this chapter quite possibly the most sinful chapter in the Bible. One sin led to another—to another—to another. We pray that our Gracious God would prevent situations in our world and by His Holy Spirit that He would lead all of us to repentance for our small sins that would lead to other sins. We pray for our government justice system to punish lawbreakers in a Godly way. “Lord God, we ask for Your grace to be upon those who have suffered abuse. Keep those who are tempted for abuse from these sins and keep us from temptation of our own sins that will lead to worse sins. Keep our governing authorities strengthened to protect the weak and bring worldly justice. Bless and keep ministries around the world who serve those who have suffered abuse that they may find healing in Christ. Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Amen”

Rev. Dave Hinz, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Sauk Rapids, MN joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 12. Abram was given a “great commission” to leave his home to travel 700+ miles with many blessings to be a blessing to the world. Abram leaves his home and through him the Lord's name will be great. To have such a calling had to be taxing, but everything was done to the LORD. Although Abram was a faithful man, temptation was real for him as he entered Egypt. Instead of trusting the Lord's providence, he predicted the Egyptian reactions and lied. In faith, may we cling to His promises and live holy lives through temptation. “Lord God, as You called Abram, You have called us to serve in Your kingdom. Keep us steadfast in trusting in Your promises to keep from temptation to love You and love others. In Christ, Amen”

Rev. Dave Hinz of Trinity Lutheran Church in Sauk Rapids, MN joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 10:1-15. The Kingdom of heaven is at hand. King Jesus has set aside an exclusive group, that, by all worldly standards, do not seem to be “worthy” of such a calling. By His grace He gives the 12 His authority, not their own. The sent ones would see persecution,, but they will see where God will bring His peace. Instead of dwelling on the lack of reception of God's Word, Jesus tells them to simply move on because it is He that they deny and not us. “Lord God, as Your kingdom has come, prepare us to serve and proclaim the excellencies of Christ who has called us into Your marvelous Light. Open our eyes to see those opportunities to serve for the sake of Your glory. Amen”

Rev. Dave Hinz of Trinity Lutheran Church, Sauk Rapids, MN joins host, Rev. Brady Finnern, to study I Kings 20. Ahab did not have a good track record, but yet the LORD still sent a prophet to him so that “you shall know that I am the LORD.” The Scriptures remind us that God provides daily bread to everyone, without prayers, even to all evil people. If He provides and comes to unbelieving people, that means He also will come to You. He comes to You to bring comfort but also to remind You to turn back to Him as He has given us all things in Christ’s death and resurrection. “Lord God, our track record is no better than Ahab. Bring us to repentance and come to us again with Your forgiveness won for us on the cross. Lord have mercy. Amen”
