Josh Raber: The Surprising Spiritual Hunger of Gen Z

from On The Line · host Bryan Stecker

Join us at the long table as we sit down with Pastor Josh Raber to talk about campus ministry, catechesis, biblical interpretation, and the hunger young Christians still have for serious theology. Why are so many people drawn to the Bible’s deeper patterns, older Christian thinkers, and a more robust vision of the faith? What happens when Lutheran slogans become substitutes for the full counsel of God? This episode moves from Genesis, giants, and demons to preaching, discipleship, paradox, and the future of Lutheranism—arguing that shallow Christianity will not hold, but real formation still can.Check Out Our New Website: https://ontheline.net/Support the Launch of LIT: https://institute.ontheline.net/donation/Visit Memento: https://memento70.com/Contact Bryan: [email protected] Today’s GuestPastor Josh Raber serves in campus ministry at Saint Cloud State, where he works closely with college students from both Lutheran and non-Lutheran backgrounds. In this conversation, he reflects on biblical literacy, catechesis, preaching, Christian formation, and the opportunities facing the Church as younger generations search for something deeper, older, and more substantial than modern religious minimalism.🔗 Stay Connected with Us📷 Instagram: @otl_podcast_📘 Facebook: facebook.com/onthelinepod𝕏 Twitter/X: @otl_podcast_Send us Fan Mail
