I’m Emmy, and here’s what I’m up to.
I’m a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, currently on my third year of leave from call to be primary caregiver to our growing family. Church life, faith practice, following Jesus, and seeking lost coins are still where my heart sings; it all just takes a new shape now. Join me.
A podcast for people who like Jesus … but aren’t too sure about his friends.
With Natalia Terfa.
I’m calling this the “God willing and the babies don’t sneeze” Lent — we’ve been sick almost every week since Thanksgiving! It’s impressive, really.
Anyway, come join me and some really lovely hosts all around Minnesota this spring.
Wednesday March 5, 7pm – Ash Wednesday Service – Humble Walk Lutheran Church in St Paul
Sunday March 16 and 23, 10am – Sunday Forum: “Mental Health in a Sick World” – Trinity Lutheran in Stillwater, MN
From finances to family stress to politics, our world and lives feel heavy and our hearts and minds are growing weary. Is the Christian thing to just put on a happy face? Renowned author, speaker, and pastor Emmy Kegler says no — or at least not yet. Join us for two Sunday Forums on faith, mental health, self-care, and mutual aid. On March 16, we’ll review the state of the world and our souls, and what our faith might have to say about it. On March 23, we’ll try out some prayers and practices to restore our own resilience and reconnect us to Jesus’ mission for God’s kingdom.
Sunday March 30, 9:30am – Preaching – Diamond Lake Lutheran Church in Minneapolis
