I heard this talk at mockingbird NYC and it has been a game changer . The steps are easy to remember and can be applied during the most troubling of times . I have taken on the habit of reminding myself of Step 5 on multiple occasions when life has frightened or perplexed me. “Endure God”. He has devised a comprehensive (and often wild) plan for my sainthood, and considering this has truly been a comfort .

Martin Luther a saint?! Why must liturgical churches continue to revere this avowed antisemite’s writings, which have influenced millions, including the likes of Hitler, for hundreds of years? This question has nothing to do with the current Isreali right wing genocide of Gazans.

Because his recovery of the gospel exceeds and isn’t nullified by his failings as a person.
Really, you’re right. Luther took this turn, as I understand, during the last six years of his life. Dementia? Hope so.
I guess Luther’s strenuous advocating for slaughtering peasants should be swept under the rug and never discussed either, hmmm?https://media.bloomsbury.com/rep/files/primary-source-75-luthers-reactions-to-peasant-rebellions.pdf
