Hello and welcome…

…to my website! I’m Day Hefner, a progressive Lutheran pastor serving as a transitional minister in my home state of Nebraska. This site is home to much of my writing, including sermons, poetry, reflections, and more.

I believe in the importance of being who you are. In my particular when and where, I find that means choosing to be transparent about being a “blue dot” in a state where “Husker red” isn’t just about the sports. We are all in this together — as beloved children of God, and as human beings on this polarized and dangerously warming planet. It is imperative that we recognize our shared humanity, even with all our differences, and learn to work together toward common goals — because it’s only together that we can move forward into the future toward which God calls us.
