Martin Luther Part 2
In the second part of this series, Pastor Dan Smail and Wendy Farone discuss even more about the critical contribution of Martin's interaction with the Roman Empire and his impact on our beliefs and practices as Lutherans. We talk about the backstory of his final years and the human side of Luther as he and his wife, Katie, serve others. On the lighter side, we discuss "What's up with that hair?" or the tonsure style of haircut common within Luther's order.

Hope
In this episode, Pastor Dan Smail and Wendy Farone ask an important question, "GOT HOPE?" Hope is something we all need. But, do you truly understand what hope is? Christian hope is different than being a positive thinker or trusting that it will all turn out alright. In trying or unstable times, we can gain great comfort in having hope...real hope. Join us for this important discussion.
