We are excited to be visited by two of our confirmation students for this week’s episode, Sophie and Spencer Dold (our youngest guests to date). Marnie chats with the Dold siblings about typical teenage topics: school, friends and activities. Then they dig deeper into topics of faith, public & private school, church memories, and how they show love. And they stick around for a Burning Question that…well…you’ll just have to hear it to believe it.

Pastor Eric Ohrtman joins Marnie to dive into one of the most well-known scripture passages in the Bible: Psalm 23. The familiar imagery of God as the Good Shepherd. David’s description of a God who will always be with me—protector, defender, provider. It is a psalm taught to all ages that resonates through all aspects of life. And stick around at the end for this week’s Burning Question about tattoos!

Today on the podcast, we talk with Sam & Jennifer Eisele to hear more about their faith story and how God works in their everyday lives. We have no way of proving this, but they are quite possibly the first married couple on record whose story together begins with Spirit of Joy! Sam and Jennifer share how their faith intersects with their careers in public school education. They also discuss the joys and challenges of nurturing their two young children in their faith. Plus, a few memories about growing up a PK (Pastor’s Kid). All that and Sam asks Marnie this week’s Burning Question about children and communion!

Won’t you be my neighbor? On this episode of the Full of Joy Podcast, Pastor Eric sits down to discuss the well-known parable of The Good Samaritan. It’s a story about understanding our role in caring for our fellow human beings. Eric gives a retelling of the story and asks the question: Where do we find ourselves in the story? Are we the Samaritan? The Traveler? The Priest? The Levite? Plus, Burning Questions with Heather Wald!
