October 10, 2023 Sunday Sermon: Rev. Jim Jackson - "Father, Forgive Them..."
Welcome back to The Wayside Podcast!

Jim Jackson reminds us this week that even when we hurt others - and "don't know what we're doing" like the people at the crucifixion in Luke 23 - Jesus forgave us 2,000 years ago. All we have to do is accept it.

October 05, 2023 The Ology with Marty Machowski (Ep. 42)
Welcome back to The Wayside Podcast!

Our conversation this week is a continuation of one of our themes this season: to sow practical seeds of faith in our lives and those around us, particularly our families.

Today's guest is Marty Machowski, a Family Pastor and an author of gospel-rich books and curriculum for children, families, and churches. As a faithful husband and father, Marty delights in spending time with his wife and kids. Marty is an accomplished artist, inventor, and outdoorsman, but his greatest passion is his love for the Lord Jesus Christ and proclaiming the life-transforming gospel message to the next generation.

Marty's book, "The Ology," gives kids of all ages a beginner's theology book to help them understand who God is and how we, as his children, relate to him. Designed for six-year-olds through preteens, this flexible resource includes built-in adaptations for use with younger or older children, so that entire families can enjoy it together.

September 14, 2023 Seeds of Faith, Awe, and Wonder with Ashley Monachelli, Part One - Sundays (Ep. 39)
Welcome back to The Wayside Podcast!

Season 2 has arrived! We're very excited to share another year of life and conversation "by the wayside" with you all - we have some wonderful plans for this season that you won't want to miss.

We're beginning our new season with a very special guest: St. Martin's very own Ashley Monachelli, Director of Children's Ministries. One of our most consistent points of constructive feedback from the past year was a desire for practical discussion - how can we apply these often complex ideas and theology in everyday life?

Ashley brings years of experience in education - in both public schools and churches - to help us sow seeds of faith in our families, particularly our children.

Be sure to check back for Part Two next week, wherever you get your podcasts.
