In this episode, We speak with Deaconess Cheryl Plummer about how her work as a Hospice Chaplain in Michigan reflects the diaconal image of "Storyteller"

Deaconess Cheryl describes the three types of stories that her ministry curates beginning with her story, the client's end-of-life story and their spiritual story, which sometimes, includes Jesus' death story. We explore how God's story is intertwined in all three no matter the faith.

Deaconess Cheryl was consecrated by the LDA in 1989 and is also a rostered ELCA Deacon in the S.E. Michigan Synod. She is now now serving Corewell Health - Hospice Division in Royal Oak Michigan.
