The Cry of Faith: Lord, Have Mercy

The ten lepers cried out from a distance, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” (Luke 17:11–19). Their condition cut them off from God and others. So also do the works of the flesh cut us off from God and others. “Those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God” (Gal. 5:16–24). Thus we cry out with the lepers, “Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy,” eagerly seeking His good gifts. Jesus said to the lepers, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. So too, we walk by faith and not by sight, being confident of Jesus’ help before we see any evidence of it, trusting that Jesus’ cleansing words of forgiveness will restore us to wholeness in the resurrection. Let us be as the one leper who returned to the true High Priest to give Him thanks and glory. For Jesus bore our infirmities in His sacrifice at Calvary. His words are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh (Prov. 4:10–23).

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.
