Answering THE question of our generation ... Why should I be For Life?
As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Mont As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Month, today we thank God for all Directors of Church Ministry (DCM) who not only work to support the faith journey of a church's parishioners but also support the leadership of the congregation. DCMs have a unique position where they get to serve and support God's people and the servants of God in all that they do, through each trial and tribulation. Please pray for God's blessing on the work of all DCMs, that their work would continue to uphold the lives of all God's people in the church.
Life Week 2027 is three months away! We have amazi Life Week 2027 is three months away! We have amazing speakers lined up this year, and they are excited to share their topical and Gospel-motivated message with each of you! Our speakers' presentations for Sunday through Wednesday will be pre-recorded and posted on the Lutherans For Life and Y4Life YouTube channels. Thursday through Saturday, youth and young adults are invited to join us LIVE in Washington, D.C. for Y4Life and YA For Life in Washington, D.C.! These sessions will be available on the Y4Life and Lutherans For Life YouTube channels in the weeks following the event.⁠ ⁠
As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Mont As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Month, today we thank God for all Directors of Family Life Ministry (DFLM) who have the wonderful job of upholding God's gift of family. Family is a gift from God and is a place of comfort and support for each of its members. Unfortunately, families are often attacked by the devil, which is where the work of a DFLM is most important, as they walk alongside families and give them resources they can use to overcome difficulties in faith. Please pray that God would continue to use DFLMs to uphold the gift of families throughout His church!
"If you or someone you love is dealing with mental "If you or someone you love is dealing with mental health symptoms, do not forget to pray as we are reminded in Ephesians 4:6: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” Repeatedly and fervently cry to God, asking Him to deliver you or a loved one from struggles, if that is His will. And if it is not His will to remove the struggle, do not be afraid to ask Him for the strength to persevere." - Elizabeth Crawford⁠ ⁠ In this week's blog post, Elizabeth discusses the rise of mental health concerns in society. She reminds readers that mental health troubles are a result of sin, that we can pray to God to grant relief, and that we can seek support from others in these difficult times.⁠ ⁠ If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health or in crisis, confidential, free, 24/7/365 help is available by calling or texting 988. ⁠ ⁠ Read the full blog post by visiting the link in our bio or by visiting https://y4life.org/broken-people-in-a-broken-world/

This is a hard truth of the world: we are all sinn This is a hard truth of the world: we are all sinners. No one can live up to God’s standard. Thankfully, as Christians, we also know the best truth in the world! Christ died for all our sins, granting us forgiveness as a gift. There is nothing we can pay for this gift, because the blood of Jesus already paid the price.
Government, though tarnished by sin, is also a gif Government, though tarnished by sin, is also a gift from God, given to protect and uphold our lives. Through Kings Saul, David, and Solomon, God protected Israel from their enemies, provided them daily bread, and safety. Similarly, God, as the head and master of the universe, works through the order established by governments so that we may live in peace and quietness and receive our daily bread. God uses the power of the sword to bring about justice when there has been a crime and to deliver us from war. He works through farmers, taxes, and public sanitation to give us food, good roads, and clean water. We pray that God continues to work for good through governments, even imperfect ones.

As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Mont As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Month, today we thank God for all Directors of Christian Outreach (DCO) who work through their congregations to serve God's people in their local community. As they reach out to community members, a DCO has the opportunity to address a person's physical and mental needs while simultaneously sharing the hope and promise of Christ's death and resurrection. Please pray for DCOs that God would work through them to serve the needs of others and that the Holy Spirit would use them to plant the seeds of faith in the hearts of God's people.
Come dig through the archives with the Y4Life Team Come dig through the archives with the Y4Life Team as they uncover an episode hosted by former Y4Life Director, Michelle Bauman. She sat down with Rev. Randy Sturzenbecher to discuss Godly manhood. Society often portrays that either men should be easily moldable by their wife or girlfriend, or that men should have full control over those they love. Michelle and Rev. Sturzenbecher discuss how Godly manhood finds the middle ground of these extremes in a way that upholds men, family and relationships.⁠ ⁠ Listen via the link in our bio or wherever you get your podcasts!
As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Mont As we move through Church Worker Appreciation Month, today we thank God for all Deaconesses. Deaconesses are trained to serve God and His people through mercy work, spiritual care, and various other teaching opportunities. Deaconesses serve alongside pastors, and together they are often the first place people go when a life issue puts them in distress. Please pray for Deaconesses that God would continue to bless their ministry as they work closely with people who need care and support in this life.
