Continuing from last week’s teaching, Father Zach addresses the scripture that is probably most often used and misunderstood when seeking to comfort someone going through a difficult time. In this week’s passage we see how the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—works in cooperation, interceding on our behalf, when walking through a painful season.

Zach was ordained to the priesthood in October 2024 and he serves as our Abbey Director, overseeing our pastoral care team, prayer ministries, an missions partnerships.
Born and raised in Minnesota, Zach attended Gustavus Adolphus College, a small liberal arts college with a Swedish Lutheran heritage in St. Peter, MN. In June 2019, he graduated with a B.A. in Psychology and Religion. After a gap year serving as a missionary volunteer in Belgrade, Serbia, Zach felt the Lord was clearly calling him to further theological education and a vocation in ordained ministry. In May 2023, he graduated from Duke Divinity School with an M.Div. and certificates in Anglican Studies and Worship.
In his free time, Zach enjoys drinking coffee (bonus points if it’s at a cool local coffee shop), craft beer (especially at breweries), hiking, bingeing Netflix shows, most any activity on or around water, and spending time with friends and family.
