What can after-school care look like for teens with disabilities? Addie Johnson (Founder and Executive Director, Our Place After School Care) and Wade Johnson (DCE at Faith Lutheran Church in Hastings, NE, and volunteer with Our Place After School Care) join Andy and Sarah at the 2025 LWML National Convention to talk about what prompted Addie to start Our Place After School Care, why this work is so important to Addie and Wade, the teens and families Our Place serves, what people may not know about this kind of care, what happens in a typical day at Our Place, and how teens and families hear the Good News of Jesus. You can learn more about Our Place After School Care at ourplacecare.org.

As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.
