PCOM Podcast

Longtime PCOM member (and Sunday School teacher, former Women's Ministries coordinator, dentist, mom, sister, ballroom dancer, and more!) Kristy Vetter shares her walk down a path no one wants to tread - the death of a spouse. Where is Jesus in grief, how can the church support those who suffer such a significant loss, and what is the balance between vulnerability and keeping things close?

"There was still life to be lived and still church and community and God to be served." Lessons from 48 years of marriage, the loss of a wife, daughter, and son all within fifteen years, and the decision to walk with Jesus through the valleys of life as well as the joys. Dwight Woodruff is our current Elder for Buildings & Grounds, a longtime member of the PCOM Choir, an avid reader, former Air Force serviceman, and is currently working on a memoir of his life.

What happens when God surprises us in ancient ways? Retired librarian Mary Smith is a pro storyteller with a wonderful tale of God, fellowship, and stepping out in faith.

What is the Lord's Supper and who is welcomed to the table? Why do we baptize infants? What are the sacraments, essentials, and distinctives of the faith we practice here at Presbyterian Church of the Master? I'm so glad you asked! Join our pastors for a spirited conversation on why we do what we do.

One vitally important (and super easy!) thing parents can do to help raise their children in the faith, why so many teenagers and young adults wander from the church for a season, and why historical novels are the best kind (it's true!). Plus, lessons of daily bread, daily trust, and daily joy from our Sunday School Coordinator and longtime PCOM member Kristen Cerfogli. 

What do brownies, ping pong, and an open door have to do with youth ministry? Just about everything! Former radio DJ Kelly Kroger does the traffic report (yes, really!) and shares her story of God's faithfulness at PCOM, from Vacation Bible School silliness to digging deep in the faith and beyond.

What happens when a 24-year-old ends up in a medically induced coma immediately after giving birth? How can we pray when it looks like our plans might not be God's? What does it look like to ask for a miracle? Join us for a truly incredible story of God's faithfulness from longtime PCOM member Kassy Najm, just in time for Thanksgiving.

Who rocks at junior high ministry AND extreme cycling classes? This girl. Hear about Dakota's passion for helping kids fall in love with Jesus, the secret to building a successful program (hint: more Jesus), her seminary studies, and why coffee makes the world go round.

A beloved Sunday School teacher talks about helping kids (and adults!) fall in love with Jesus, the gifts of evangelism, and his own story of coming to faith later in life. (And a bit about gardening, too!)

Stephanie Cleye, PCOM's Children's Ministries Director, shares stories of God at work in the lives of our children, parents, and families, and tells us about some exciting upcoming ministry events.
