All our lives we are surrounded by history. Our own history. Those around us. Those who will come after us are on the horizon. But how does the Christian Church understand her history? In this episode of The Crux of the Matter, Peperkorn and Stiegemeyer talk about what it means to be a pastor who is aware of the Church’s history, and how it shapes pastoral care.
