Blues Music and Gospel Proclamation

Theo Lehmann's life journey unfolds against the backdrop of 20th-century Germany, navigating the complexities of the Nazi regime and the GDR. As a Lutheran pastor in Chemnitz, he innovatively engaged youth through contemporary worship and strong gospel messages, drawing large crowds. His subsequent partnership with Baptist musician Jorg Swoboda for youth evangelism put him at odds with the Communist government, leading to constant surveillance and alienation from fellow ministers. The narrative highlights resilience in faith amidst political oppression.
