In this episode of Different Pews, Same Promise, we sit down with Matt Schleicher, principal of Epiphany Lutheran School, to talk about the heart and mission of Lutheran education. Matt shares his journey into education, the calling of serving in a Lutheran school, and the unique role Christian schools play in shaping students not only academically but spiritually. We discuss the challenges and joys of leading a school where faith and learning go hand in hand, and how teachers and families partner together to raise the next generation in Christ. Whether you are a parent, student, church member, or simply curious about Lutheran education, this conversation offers insight into how God works through schools to form young people in wisdom, character, and faith.

In this episode, we sit down with Pastor Jason Schleicher, author of "Good Lord", to talk about calling, formation, and what it means to be shaped by Word and Sacrament. Jason shares his journey into pastoral ministry, his experience in the LCMS Specific Ministry Pastor (SMP) program, and how that theological formation influenced both his preaching and his writing.

We discuss the difference between moral improvement and the Gospel, how Lutheran theology clarifies grace in everyday life, and what it looks like to lead faithfully in today’s Church. Whether you’re discerning a call, walking through seminary, or simply longing for deeper clarity about grace and vocation, this conversation will encourage and challenge you.

In this episode we come to you with Matt and Mike. The president and vice president of Epiphany's congregation. We get a chance to ask them questions about how and when they became Lutheran and add in some great conversation through out. I hope you enjoy as we interact with these two great influences for Epiphany Lutheran Church.

In this episode Derek and Ruben introduce themselves and how they came to the Lutheran Church. Through stories like basketball, hunting and fishing, we show how important the promise of Christ is. We also show you how unimportant it is that we are all different. Not just different in skin color, where we grew up and our family lives, but that those differences mean absolutely nothing to the promise we have and the community/family that we have built

This is the start of Different Pews, Same Promise. This episode zero is the start of a podcast I have wanted to kick off for a while. The idea of the podcast is to talk about the different ways people come to the church. We all grow up differently and have a different story, but the promise is the same for all of us. In this episode zero I talk mostly about myself and the way that I came to the church and came to do what I am doing. The Podcast will be mainly done by interview or many round table conversations with many different people throughout. I hope that this finds someone new and draws them to ask questions and learn more about the faith!
