Pastor Nathan invites Wendell Gehman to reflect on the ⁠sermon from September 8, 2024 - A Temple in the Desert: How Could You?⁠. They discuss the connection between generosity and gratitude and how these things change over the course of our lives.

The batteries on the recorder died the first time through, so we needed to record this a second time. There were things we said the first time that we really liked and didn't remember to say again! It is also a little nerve-wracking to sit and have the same conversation two times in a row. So a huge THANK YOU to Wendell for his patience, persistence, and forgiveness.

Pastor Nathan invites Shannon Sadler to reflect on the sermon from September 1, 2024 - A Temple in the Desert: Creating for the Sake of the Nations.

Nathan and Tracy, pastors at Swamp Mennonite Church, discuss the goal of the new podcast. Each week someone from the church will sit with Pastor Nathan to discuss the sermon from the previous week. There is also a preview of the upcoming sermon series: A Temple in the Desert.
