1. •Rev. Dr. Harold Senkbeil - “Pastors Courageous - A Fresh Look at Faithful Ministry
   

                                                           in Our Time” (2010)

        - Rev. Harold Senkbeil, Executive Director for Spiritual Care (Doxology) discusses the challenges, pitfalls, struggles,

1. •Rev. Matthew Harrison - “Liturgy & The Youth” (2011)
   

        - In this video from 1995 the Rev. Matthew Harrison speaks to a group of pre-seminary students attending

         Concordia University, River Forest (now Concordia University, Chicago) while at a retreat concerning the importance

         of the liturgy in the life and spiritual formation of our youth. This short presentation, though several years old, is

         just as applicable this day as it was when Pastor Harrison first gave the presentation.

         A quote from Pr. Harrison’s presentation:

                “With well-intentioned zeal to set our youth on the firm foundation of Christ, we’ve been taking from them with

                  one hand the very thing we’ve been so striving to give them with the other. In calling our youth to serious

                  repentance and faith and discipleship we have been using means which have totally trivialized these deep

                  verities.”

       This presentation was originally captured on video cassette in 1995. Over the years

the recording has degraded somewhat. While every effort was made to clarify and

enhance the video and audio tracks, it is certainly not “DVD quality.”

The content, however, is most certainly worthwhile.

1. •Higher Things Youth Conference - CORAM DEO (July 12-15, 2011)
   

            CORAM DEO? What exactly does "Coram Deo" mean? Well, its Latin for "before God," as in His

              presence, under His reign, etc. Think a bit about living Coram Deo, before God. What does it mean that

              you live Coram Deo? Under the Law, life before God is terrifying. It is living under His judgment and

              wrath. But under the Gospel, life before God is beautiful, a restoration of what God intended when He

              made Man in the beginning.

                    This 3-disc DVD set includes the following…

        to St. John” (September 19-21, 2011)
