Our Faith Journey podcast series continues.   This week, Pastor Nate talks with Bryan Jaster (Bethany Lutheran, Director of Faith Formation) about his journey of faith.

In the final episode of our Epiphany podcast series, we once again dive into a unique characteristic of Jesus.  This week, we are thinking about the Transfiguration of Jesus and why it is important.   

But wait there's more!  This episode is a conversation between Intern Rita and two of her Seminary classmates: Morgan and Sammy.  Listen in as Rita, Sammy, and Morgan discuss the significance of Jesus' Transfiguration. 

This episode is our 6th installment in our Epiphany podcast series where we consider the different aspects of Jesus' character.  Listen in as Pastor Nate takes us through a close reading of Luke 10:1-11.  This story of Jesus sending out the disciples invites us to think about what it means to call Jesus a Rabbi and what it means to think of ourselves as his disciples.
