About This Podcast
Pastors are often collectors of stories of God's love made real in the world. These stories can come from what they observe in the life of the church, from what people share, and from their own reflections. Join Pastor Katie from St. John Lutheran Church in Mars, PA as she reflects on the stories she collects in her ministry and how God's love is made real in these everyday stories.
Pastor Katie is an ordained minister of Word and Sacrament in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
