#318. Party Planning Committee: Reformation + All Saints' Day
While “Halloween” for most people involves scary costumes, candy, and jack-o'-lanterns, the Ladies are tracing the word back to its roots — “All Hallows’ Eve” — as they team up to plan a Halloween-alternative All Saints/Reformation Day party around the theme of “saints, reformers, and heretics.”* The episode starts with each of the Ladies suggesting a pair of apropos costume ideas. Sarah then shares a curated Spotify playlist (link here) to set the musical mood before providing a range of ideas for party decorations, favors, and crafts. With the party “vibes” all in order, Erin offers recipes fit for a feast and Rachel demonstrates a handful of fun party games, including “Two Doctrines and a Heresy” and saints-based pub trivia.

#317. Book Club Wrap Up: Day 7 - For Work, Rest, or Play
In this Lutheran Ladies’ Book Club recap episode, Rachel leads Erin and Sarah through a discussion of Joel Biermann’s Day 7: For Work, Rest, or Play. What does it mean to "remember the Sabbath Day by keeping it holy"? Does how we think about "leisure" change how we "remember the Sabbath"? How does a biblical understanding of Sabbath help us recognize good and bad ways to use the days that God has given us? At the end of the episode, Rachel reveals the Ladies' next book club pick — one of her all-time favorites, which Sarah has never yet read: C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters.

#316. One Question Interview: Infertility
“What should we be talking about that we’re not?” That’s the starting prompt for every installment of “Erin’s One-Question Interview.” While the answers to this question may change, the quality of these vital, hard-hitting conversations remains the same. In this episode, Sarah, Erin, and Rachel welcome special guest Carrie Ill to the Lounge to share her personal experience with infertility. Why is it so hard for women to talk about infertility? What is it about this condition that makes it so painful and fraught with grief? How does Lutheran theology shape our ways of thinking about infertility? How can Lutheran women show compassion and sensitivity in their conversations with one another — regardless of family size and fertility struggles? Carrie Ill is a pastor’s wife, Lutheran schoolteacher, and fellow Lutheran lady. Resources referenced include: He Remembers the Barren by Katie Schuermann The National Infertility Association (resolve.org)* *Note: This is a helpful but not Christian resource; not all guidance given may be in accord with Lutheran doctrine.

#315. How to Lutheran: Quilting Circles
In their latest “How to Lutheran” conversation, Rachel celebrates the ongoing legacy of quilting circles in Lutheran Churches. Beginning with a look back at the significance of quilts and quilting bees in American history, she then explores biblical examples of women who used their skill with textile arts to help those in need. From there, the conversation examines the heyday of Lutheran quilters after the Second World War and the state of quilting circles today, considers ethical pitfalls to avoid when quilting for charity, and offers a range of novel ideas for using quilts to spread the love of Christ.
