On this special Christmas episode, the Spirit of Joy staff shares memories and traditions in their own households, both today and in years gone by. Here’s a sneak peek: Idaho potato rolls, family sing-alongs, Advent logs, pig trauma, oyster stew, cassette recordings, and Truman singing Silent Night.

We are excited to welcome our new Spirit of Joy pastor, Dayna Weltzin, to the podcast this morning! Pastor Dayna is here to share more about herself and help us get to know her better. Dayna covers a childhood that sounds a little bit like a Norman Rockwell painting, to attending Gustavus Adolphus, to living in Spain for six years, to meeting her husband (Tim), to deciding on seminary later in her career, to what she loves about being a pastor. She also talks about what excites her about being in Sioux Falls and at Spirit of Joy!
