The ELCA Youth Ministry Network, or ‘The Network,’ is the demonic denomination’s flagship ministry, which supposedly “exists to strengthen and empower adult leaders in children, youth and family ministry, in service to Christ” but in reality serves to drag them to hell.
They recently held Extravaganza 2024, the Network’s annual conference, which drew over “1,000 leaders in children, youth and family ministry, along with teachers, resource providers and leaders” for four days of “renewal, education and networking.”
Along with workshops that explore “what could be if we were to reimagine the invitations of the Lord’s Prayer through a womanist lens,” how to “become an anti-racist youth group,” and so, so many workshops on why it is godly to be gay, one speaker stood out: Jamie Bruesehoff.

Jamie Bruesehoff is a far progressive trans activist married to a liberal pastor within the ELCA. Notably, in 2018, she and her 11-year-old son, who she is abusing through Munchausen syndrome by proxy by convincing him he’s a girl, spoke in front of over 30,000 Lutheran teenagers and told the story of how she Gypsy-Rose’d him since he could crawl.
Her talk at this year’s event was: Beyond Ball Fields and Bathrooms: Dreams for Transgender and Gender-Expansive Youth in the Church, where the promo material reads:
Jamie Bruesehoff and Rev. Christopher Bruesehoff Jamie and Chris’s seventeen-year-old daughter, Rebekah Bruesehoff, says she dreams of a world where transgender people don’t have to be brave or inspiring, where they can just be themselves. We aren’t there yet.
In this workshop, let’s dare to dream of a church and a world transformed by the bold celebration of transgender and gender-diverse young people. We’ll talk about what we need to do to get from where we are now to where we want to go. In a world that is more divided than ever, Jamie and Chris will address misinformation, provide resources for on-the-ground ministry, and strategize how to move forward even when some people in our communities remain conflicted.
Filled with practical takeaways, participants will leave empowered and inspired to continue the work of inclusion and advocacy for these young people both in and outside of the church. They need us, and the church needs them.
Heartbreaking all around.
Please note, it’s ELCA and not Missouri Synod!
ELCA = Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
(I wasn’t sure, so I looked it up)
Abominable!
And heresy!
The ELCA is a merged denomination of several Lutheran church bodies, which were once sound and Christian. It has since been taken over by Satan and his minions.
There are many older members who are (or at least were) Lutheran Christians, who for various reasons are trapped in ELCA congregations. I (formerly ELCA, since 2008 Orthodox) pray for these people regularly, and others should do so, too!
And no, the ELCA is not the Missouri Synod. And there are also several spin-offs from the ELCA which have escaped from Satan’s clutches!
I know there is a difference. It seems I find all the articles on the one that has gone off the rails.

What is a womanist? What is it when the white ELCA liberal females do it?
One learns: "Womanism is a term originating from the work of African American author Alice Walker in her 1983 book In Search of Our Mother's Garden: Womanist Prose, denoting a movement within feminism, primarily championed by Black feminists. Walker coined the term "womanist" in the short story Coming Apart in 1979.[1][2][3] Her initial use of the term evolved to envelop a spectrum of issues and perspectives facing black women and others."

One would think the lily white liberal females would be charged with cultural appropriation, not to mention racist anti-racist intellectual theft. As in....
The “Sparkle Creed” was originally penned in 2021 by Rev. Rachel Small Stokes, pastor of Immanuel United Church of Christ in Louisville, Kentucky.Some have said the name and meant this:
Jesus ‘Had Two Dads’—Church Recitation of ‘Sparkle Creed’ Draws Criticism 28 June 2023
"As people around the world celebrate Christmas, it is worth remembering that Jesus was a socialist. Of course, he was born long before the rise of industrial capitalism in the 19th century, but his radical ideas have influenced many critics of capitalism, including many prominent socialists and even Pope Francis.Then there's this:"Pope Francis has consistently criticized the human and spiritual damage caused by global capitalism, widening inequality, and corporate sweatshops. Last week, he blamed the "god of money" for the extremist violence that is taking place around the world. A ruthless global economy, he argued, leads marginalized people to violence."
"Jesus was a Hebrew rabbi. Unusually, he was unmarried. The idea that he had a romantic relationship with Mary Magdalene is the stuff of fiction, based on no biblical evidence. The evidence, on the other hand, that he may have been what we today call gay is very strong. But even gay rights campaigners in the church have been reluctant to suggest it. A significant exception was Hugh Montefiore, bishop of Birmingham and a convert from a prominent Jewish family. He dared to suggest that possibility and was met with disdain, as though he were simply out to shock."The attack on Christianity seems to be at full throttle now. Led by the UCC and the ELCA and the mass media....
Grew up in the L.C.M.S. Non fans call it the Misery Synod. I have read that it’s been bleeding member numbers downwards for many years.
As mentioned ELCA is (going) Satanic
I've read the Bible many times and not once do I recall anything about Jesus being a disco listening interior decorator with no butt grip talking about the olympics while hiding his STD among bathhouse mates that he invited minors to.
These people are ridiculous. And they have the audacity that us Christians are the ones who try to make up a god to suit us.
ECLA hasn’t been around that long, yet the media calls them mainline, though they are at best disgruntled spinoffs or Marxist mockeries of churches spawned for political purposes.
Meanwhile, the real church body Missouri synod and WELS are much older.
One recalls an ex-president use "audacity" to sell America a failing fiction.
Kudos for the care to use the lower case letter as in "god."
Prophet Elijah and John the Baptist were unmarried; Jesus was the one foretold by John.
No “gays” there!
This some serious heresy going down.
“many will fall away”
Of course.
The Left's obsession with changing scripts has never been about truths nor traditions. It has been about disheartening the faithful, confusing the young and demoralizing whole societies based on the Left's will to rule. Really, the rest of it is malarkey.
Freedom versus chains. The Left dreams of chains for us, and freedom only for them.
Sparkle CreedMust have been from the Council of the Chicago Bathhouse, you know the one where Saint Barry slapped the heretic Anita Bryant.
No question. The ELCA has long since ditched Christianity in favor of wokism.
Yes LCMS has been losing membership at about the same rate as the ELCA, although not due to this apostasy.
