Welcome to Make It Simple, where we take complicated issues and with the help of a friend. Break them down into ideas we can understand, truths we can apply, and questions worth pondering. I'm your host, Matt Popovits, and with me on the podcast today is my friend, Reverend Dr. Ryan Peterson. He's the Vice President for Advancement at Concordia University,
St. Paul. And we're going to be talking about why Christian education, in particular, why Christian higher education and to dive even deeper why Lutheran education? That's our topic for today and before we dive into it, I want to remind you that VoxCon is happening in January of 2027.
VoxCon is a conference for creatives and communicators in the faith space to help us hone our craft, discern our creative voice, and build community as people who are telling the most important story in the world. I want you to be there.
