Paula Isakson and her father, the Rev. Dr. Jakob Heckert — co-founders of Faith Family Reunion — lead this LCMS Youth webinar entitled “Supporting Prodigals and Their Families”.
Isakson and Rev. Heckert share Paula’s story as a prodigal youth who later returned to the faith. They will provide encouragement and resources for parents and youth leaders who are caring for youth who are disconnected from the church.

The culture tells us that denying ourselves keeps us from happiness. This article discusses how that messaging measures up to what we believe about waiting and delayed gratifications as Christians.
“We want to build up teens who are willing to serve in the church, and as appropriate, might consider careers in professional church work. As we seek to encourage young people in their faith journeys, the most beneficial things we can offer them are opportunities to get involved with service and leadership in the church. When done the right way, this allows youth to feel valued and deeply connected to the Body of Christ.”
At every LCMS Youth Gathering we ask participants to take the Lutheran Youth Poll. This is the executive summary for the 2025 Gathering held this in New Orleans.
