"Diaconal storytelling seeks to touch the hearer more deeply, to give space in the story for the hearers to find themselves, to unleash imagination and memory, to open the possibility for healing, for challenge, for transformation.

"It is also to help people tell their own stories of their pain and suffering, of their joys and triumphs, of deaths and resurrections, of God at work among them--to bring those stories back to the community for witness, celebration, instruction, and prayer.

~ Deaconess E. Louise Williams

Our guest, Deacon Brandon Kruger, shares his inspiring children's story, "Today, I Met a Deacon," which he created during his diaconal formation project at the Lutheran Diaconal Association (LDA).

Deacon Brandon also reflects on his ministry as a preschool teacher.

Then we explore the sense of community within the LDA and we delve into the enriching experience of being part of a multi-Lutheran community.

Plans to publish "Today, I Met a Deacon" are underway.
