About This Podcast

Are you a person of faith who wants to better understand science? Or a scientist curious about faith? Your Matter Matters is a limited-series podcast hosted by ELCA Lutheran pastors Will Rose and Thomas Johnston, exploring how faith and science can move beyond conflict and into meaningful conversation. Together, they work to dismantle the false divide that pits belief against discovery—and instead invite listeners to imagine how both can contribute to human flourishing. As pastors in North Carolina and steering committee members of the Lutheran Alliance for Faith, Science and Technology, Will and Thomas sit down with scientists, theologians, and fellow pastors to engage timely questions many of us are already asking. In an age of accelerating technology and rapid scientific advancement, faith communities are often left wondering how to respond with wisdom, humility, and hope. Each episode is designed with congregations, small groups, and adult or young adult faith formation in mind—offering a book-study-style rhythm that encourages conversation, curiosity, and community. As the hosts say, “We are made of matter, and we matter to God and one another.” Your Matter Matters is sponsored by the Virginia Casey and Michael Peeler Fund of the North Carolina Synod and the Lutheran Alliance for Faith, Science and Technology in association with the Anazao Podcast Network. Episodes will be available on multiple platforms later this year. .
