Higher Things® has been known for our youth conferences that provide an intense week of Lutheran worship, catechesis, and fun. But we also have a ton of resources available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to help you learn (and teach!) what it means to be Lutheran—that you believe that we are are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
Here you'll find new articles and videos being posted every day, highlighting all sorts of different subjects: worship practices, theology and philosophy, social issues, history, and whatever news is flying around social media this week. (We take requests, too.)
Our goal is to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to bear on any and every issue facing youth today, and equip parents, pastors, and youth leaders to do the same!

The Catechized Life
So much of what we believe, teach, and confess is condensed into a booklet that a child can understand. And yet even Martin Luther himself said he could never grasp all the depth of it.

Dead Christians
Throughout history we’ll find stories about saints and martyrs — men and women who died professing their Christian faith. They proclaimed the Gospel and led lives worthy of legends. They are the dead Christians you should know about.
