Richard Stuckwisch (Indiana District President, LCMS) will help us explore the topics of abortion, contraception, IVF, adoption, and defending life in every circumstance.

IRON SHARPENS IRON
Join us September 25–27 at Camp Lutherhaven in Albion, Indiana for our annual Men’s Retreat — a weekend where faith, brotherhood, and renewal come together under the theme Iron Sharpens Iron.
Nestled in the quiet beauty of northern Indiana, Lutherhaven offers the ideal setting to unplug and refocus — wooded trails, open skies, campfires, and the kind of unhurried space that makes real conversations and lasting friendships possible. It’s a place to step away from the noise and lean into what matters most.
Speaker: Pastor Gabe Kasper
Gabe serves as Lead Pastor of University Lutheran Church and has a heart for preaching that is both thoughtful and practical. After helping plant churches in Austin, TX, he now serves in Michigan, focusing on preaching, leadership development, and pastoral care. He studied at Concordia University Wisconsin, earned his MDiv from Concordia Seminary (St. Louis), and completed an MPhil from Eastern Michigan University.
His theme, “Finding Home: An Invitation to Religious Spirituality,” will explore the tension many feel between being “spiritual but not religious” and how Scripture calls us into a faith that is deeply personal — yet firmly rooted in Christ’s Church.
