Friends For Life — LCMS Life, Health and Family Ministries: S3Ep3. The State of the Family Estate | Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller

To call the family an “estate” may sound dated, but it turns out that Luther’s theology on the three estates is perhaps more timely than ever. What does Luther mean when he identifies the three estates of family, church, and state? How is the family the foundation of them all? What does this actually mean for modern families today? Pastor Bryan Wolfmueller joins Steph on this episode of Friends for Life!
