Jesus Is Our Good Samaritan

The Law cannot help us or give us life. Rather, it confines everyone under sin as wounded and naked before God (Gal. 3:15–22). So it is that two figures of the Law, the priest and the Levite, passed by the injured man on the side of the road (Luke 10:23–37). Only the promised Seed of Abraham can rescue us and make us righteous before God. Only the Samaritan, our Lord Jesus, had compassion, as did the Samaritans of old (2 Chronicles 28:8–15). He came down to us in our lost and dying condition, pouring on the oil and wine of the Sacraments. He placed us on His own animal, bearing our sin and brokenness in His body on the cross to restore us. Jesus brought us to the inn, that is, the Church, and gave the innkeeper two denarii, that His double forgiveness might continue to be ministered to us. In this way the Lord, by whose Law we are torn and stricken, heals us and revives us by His Gospel and raises us up with Himself.

Meet Pastor Dandy

We are excited to introduce Pastor Dandy and invite you to get to know him and his family a little better!

About Pastor Dandy 

Hometown: Waller, Texas 
Education: Concordia Seminary, St. Louis 

Family 

Pastor Dandy and his wife, Rebekah, are blessed with four children: Grant, Frieda, Isaac, and Joseph. 

Hobbies & Interests 

When he's not serving the church, Pastor Dandy enjoys spending time with his family, barbecuing for family gatherings, reading, and listening to podcasts. Two of his favorites are A Brief History of Power and On the Line. 

Fun Fact 

During high school, Pastor Dandy played four years of football as an Offensive Guard and also competed in track and field. 

How He Describes Himself 

"An ordinary Lutheran pastor who loves theology, good barbecue, and a good joke... and who probably takes Lutheranism more seriously than he takes himself." 

Confirmation Verse 

"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." 
John 14:6 

His Call to Ministry 

Pastor Dandy's interest in pastoral ministry began at a young age while his mother served as a church secretary. The pastor at their congregation welcomed his many questions, spent countless hours discussing theology with him, and always seemed to have a supply of "TestiMINTS" on hand. Through those conversations, Pastor Dandy came to understand that the pastoral ministry involves not only preaching God's Word, but also teaching the faith and caring for God's people. 

During his third year at Concordia Seminary, he completed his vicarage in Palmyra, Missouri. He then returned to the seminary for his final year of studies while serving as a Chaplain Candidate in the U.S. Navy Reserve. He also served in the U.S. Navy during the early years of his pastoral ministry. These experiences further strengthened his desire to serve Christ and His Church through the pastoral office. 

As Pastor Dandy puts it: 

"The Lord led me kicking and screaming..." 

Yet upon completing seminary, he found himself more at home than ever. Today, he continues to serve faithfully wherever the Lord calls him through His Church, bringing God's Word and Sacraments to His people.
