The Scariest Pages of Scripture: What Monsters Lurk in Revelation and in Our World

Presenter: Rev. Matthew Ian Fleming, teaching pastor at St. Andrew Lutheran Church, Eden Prairie

Drawing from his recently published book, The End is the Beginning: Revelation, Hope, and the Love that Lit the Stars, Fleming will help people understand the framework of Revelation, interpret it through a Lutheran lens, and ponder together what it might be speaking to Christians today. Cutting through the echo chamber of rapture-haunted apocalyptic anxiety, he will offer a clear picture of God’s persistent love for all that was, and is, and will be that Christians need to know. He will debunk some of the misinterpretations, myths, and anxieties around this strange book through humor, story, and invitation. Fleming, a graduate of Concordia College and Luther Seminary, launched and leads Church Anew, an international platform that hosts events and creates resources that express a fresh witness in the world.

Regenerative Agriculture and Climate Change: Can Farming Save the Planet and Equitably Feed the World?

Presenter: Tim Reese, Manager of Gale Woods Farm, Educational facility of Three Rivers Park District

As stewards of the land, farmers play a crucial role in environmental issues. The choices farmers make are part of the larger food system in which we all play a part as consumers. The Lutheran ethic of environmental stewardship advocates our responsibility to the earth and care for each other. Learn how regenerative agriculture is attempting to address these crucial challenges. Reese has a master’s degree in Agriculture Education from the University of MN and an undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies from St. Olaf College. He believes in the power of experiential education and the ability of natural spaces to inspire people toward solutions to our social and environmental challenges.

Food, Farming, and Faith: Regenerative Agriculture as Christian Practice

Presenter: Rev. Christian Muellerleile, Farmer-Pastor at Good Courage Farm

Before becoming a pastor, Christian worked at several food co-ops and Community Supported Agriculture farms in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas. He is an alumnus of Gustavus Adolphus College, the Lutheran Volunteer Corps, Luther Seminary, and the Collegeville Institute Rural Minnesota Fellows Program. He also served as the Vice Chair of Meeker Area Ministries, a ministry that has housed homeless people in Meeker County since its founding in 2010. Christian lives in Litchfield, MN, with his spouse, Kateri, and kids, Antonia and Augustin, where they enjoy outdoor adventures, music, and good food. In particular, Christian loves to sing the faith and dig in the dirt. His interests include mountain biking, canoeing, skiing, archery, neo-monasticism, outdoor ministry, fishing, guitar playing, and contemplative spirituality. In his role as Farmer-Pastor, Christian oversees the intersection of fieldwork, faith formation, and hospitality. Volunteers who come to the farm to help grow the food that we give away will find Christian a welcoming, skilled guide to the ministry’s fruitful community space.
