The Issues et cetera Reformation Club. It used to be difficult to believe that there were people in the United States who had never heard the biblical gospel ever.

Well, nowadays it's easier to believe that, to suppose that they're

people who've never been exposed to the gospel of Jesus Christ, that we are sinners who are saved

by grace through faith for Christ's sake alone. And sometimes the filter that keeps that message out

is cultural and religious at the same time.

Welcome back to Issues, etc. I'm Todd Wilkin.

It's time for our paths to Lutheranism series, the story of going from Judaism to Lutheranism.

Blake Skolnick joins us. He was raised in Orthodox Jewish home in Brooklyn,

and he's a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Milwaukee.

Blake, welcome.

Thank you for having me.
