VB Fellows Podcast

We are grateful to fellows' class of 2024 alumni David Clark, Grace Keel, and Kim Pugh for their willingness to share the tangible ways they experienced the Lord's work in their lives during the program. We hope you enjoy this one as much as we did! 

Unexpected joys? Favorite lecture? Questions about faith? 

Enjoy our chat with an all-JMU crew – Emma Wiltz, Zion Nurse, and Sean Hilger– that produced many laughs and thoughtful reflections on their 2023-2024 year. 

Many in our Virginia Beach community are starting a 21-day season of prayer and fasting from this Sunday Jan 7th, through January 27th. Please join us if you can! Here’s a bit of an introduction from Ross about why Christians fast. 

We end our alumni interviews this year with a couple from our very first class ('19-'20), Tathan + Lindsay Bennett. 

Along with discussing surfing (well, at least for Tathan), work growth, and big *announcements (!!), Tathan and Lindsay invited us into their world post fellows: the ebbs and flows of the Christian walk, being a part of a church body, friendship after fellows, and more. Thank you Bennetts for being such lovely guests and representatives of what VB Fellows is all about!

*Disclaimer: About a month after this episode was recorded, Tathan and Lindsay sadly lost their baby. Even so, they insisted that this episode be published, so we have shared with their permission.

In continuation of our alumni interview series, 2022 fellows' alum Parker York shared how VB Fellows built a unique and deeply impactful experience that served as a springboard for integration into the greater Virginia Beach community—particularly amongst the men. 

In a refreshingly honest interview, we chatted with Meredith Welsh and Katrina Brittingham—class of 2022 alumni— about life after fellows, with particular focus on the unexpected challenges that they've faced post-fellows, and how they've found the hope to overcome.

This summer, we're delighted to catch up  with members from our previous classes as they reflect on life after fellows, and how the community and disciplines still prove valuable tools in their day-to-day lives. 

This episode featured Erin and Nathan Horner from the classes of 2021 & 2022. We hope you enjoy!

The fourth year of VB Fellows has come to a close, and we're excited to share the second part of our Reflections series from our 2022-2023 alumni. 

In this episode, Alyssa Farrell, Gracie Ziegelmann, and Abbie Trollinger reflect on how they've seen their views of God and life challenged and deepened over the course of the year through the Friday Trainings, and they share the spiritual disciplines they find most impactful as they step into their next season.

As the fourth year of VB Fellows draws to a close, we caught up with some of the fellows to reflect on two key aspects of our program: Community & Teaching.

In this episode, Clay Bauer, Isaiah Sound, Carter George, and Tyler Cooper share their thoughts on being integrated into an established community, and what the support has meant to them moving forward.


Hosted by Christina Webb.

In what is quite possibly our most chaotically entertaining yet insightful interview thus far, enjoy this long overdue episode featuring fellows Ginny Grice, Tyler Cooper, and Liv Hoover as they share their thoughts about the first few months in the program.
