2026 Annual Pastoral Counseling Workshop

June 1, 2026 | Nebraska District LCMS & GracePoint Institute for Relational Health Pastoral Counseling Conference
at University Lutheran Chapel, Lincoln.

Luther’s Soul Care Theology for Pastors, led by Rev. Dr. Rick Marrs, Concordia Seminary Professor and Licensed Psychologist

Confessional Lutheran pastors have inherited a wondrous theology from Luther and other 16th century theologians. We know how to let that theology guide our preaching and teaching of God’s Word, but how can it also guide our Seelsorge, our care of souls? In this workshop we will explore together how to use Law and Gospel, Two Kinds of Righteousness, and other aspects of our theology to share Christ’s Gospel with people suffering from trauma and other Anfechtung. How can we teach others to meditate on God’s Word in ways that are faithful and edifying for their souls?

This one-day conference will also benefit those who serve as deaconesses, DCEs, parish nurses, etc. Please contact Kimberly Myers with any questions at kimberlym@ndlcms.org or 402-643-2961, extension 1009.
