In this episode Derek and Ruben introduce themselves and how they came to the Lutheran Church. Through stories like basketball, hunting and fishing, we show how important the promise of Christ is. We also show you how unimportant it is that we are all different. Not just different in skin color, where we grew up and our family lives, but that those differences mean absolutely nothing to the promise we have and the community/family that we have built

This is the start of Different Pews, Same Promise. This episode zero is the start of a podcast I have wanted to kick off for a while. The idea of the podcast is to talk about the different ways people come to the church. We all grow up differently and have a different story, but the promise is the same for all of us. In this episode zero I talk mostly about myself and the way that I came to the church and came to do what I am doing. The Podcast will be mainly done by interview or many round table conversations with many different people throughout. I hope that this finds someone new and draws them to ask questions and learn more about the faith!
