In episode 10, we talk to Jodi Tollie. Jodi shares with us about stepping out in faith to lead/teach something brand new to her. Causing her to answer the question, "Why not you?" 

Often in our Christian walk, we get caught in the world of waiting for someone else to lead or teach when the Holy Spirit is leading in our hearts, and we need to answer. We hope hearing her story will encourage you to step and lead or teach in your local church.

In episode 9, we talk to Tracy Salter.  Tracy discusses the change in the local Womans Missionary Union (we often will refer to it as WMU) at Lighthouse and in the Western North Carolina region.  We talk about positives, changes, and how today's WMU is much more than some of our ideas of the program.

In episode 8, we talk to Isaac Brooks. Isaac discusses the importance of revitalization from the perspective of leading and pastoring Cove Creek. Additionally, we take on the aspect that his leadership is coming from being 21 years old.     As you listen, it is not "What can we learn, or how can we pay attention?"  We hope you will hear Isaac's plea for people not merely to be church attendees but disciples of Jesus Christ.

Another great set of questions to ask can be "what" questions. "What is behind the name Light1031?" Or, "what should a listener expect?"  We try to give you a glimpse of what to expect by sharing some of the stories of Pastor Mark and coming to Lighthouse, the blessings of God, and some of the patience that was needed. We ask you to join Mark Rogers and his guest host Ruthie Salter as they take the time to answer some of the questions on the Light1031 podcast.
