Allow us to reintroduce ourselves! Resident Strangers has been a podcast for the past year and a half, but now Sarah, Steve, and Rich are thrilled to share that the podcast is not only available on audio platforms — it’s also on YouTube! This long-awaited expansion has the whole crew excited to bring you content in a brand-new way. A huge shoutout to Brandon Petry for his incredible work in building the brand-new studio where the podcast is now filmed and recorded. Special thanks also go to Brittany Petry, Brandon Lloyd, and Hailey Keller for their valuable contributions! In this episode, Sarah and Steve offer some background on Desert Springs Community Church, where the podcast is produced. Steve has been the pastor there for 30 years, and Sarah serves on the full-time staff. Rich, a professor at Grand Canyon University, also serves as an elder at the church. The group reflects on their years in ministry together and shares the story of how the podcast began. Steve opens up about his passion for helping those who follow Jesus think biblically in a world that often feels foreign. He explains how the events of 2020 sparked a desire to create a space for conversations about the importance of studying theology. Rich also emphasizes the importance of unwavering allegiance to Jesus, no matter the circumstances we face. We hope this episode offers a deeper understanding of who we are, and we can’t wait to have you join us — whether you’re listening or watching. Thanks for being part of the Resident Strangers community!
