If you’ve been listening to ing Podcast from the beginning, you know that in episode two we spoke with Reverend Jes Kast, pastor at Faith United Church of Christ in State College.

If you haven’t already done so, we hope you go back and listen to Episode 2 with Rev. Kast, that we titled “Reinventing.”
