In this week's episode, Pastor Kevin sits down for a conversation with Maura Leinonen and Karyn Fay - leaders of a group called "Joyfully Following Jesus." JFJ - as the group is commonly called - is a 12 week program for women to connect with other women as they grow deeper in their faith and with one another. But, it's more than just a "program." As you'll hear in the conversation - it's really a space that affords women a chance to "get in on what God is doing" - in their lives and the lives of others.

There's a new 12 week session starting September 15th on Mondays @ 6pm. If you'd like to learn more or sign up - head over to copperluth.org/JFJ.

A big thanks to Maura + Karyn for making the time to sit down with me! As always, we hope you enjoy the conversation!

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin have a conversation about telling our stories. Maybe you've heard this called "giving your testimony" before, but we want to nuance this conversation for you. Because, we do believe that your story matters and you should not be afraid to share it. But, learning to do this well, so that you don't worry about having to have a major dramatic conversion event, or, you don't want all your hope to be on your story and sticking to it.

Your story is one that is not yet over. It's a story that God continues to write. Because your story is one of His activity in your life.

Have you considered how the death and resurrection of Jesus play a central and pivotal role in your life and the hope that you have?

We hope this conversation will inspire you to think about your story, and then to go ahead and share it with other people. Your story does matter.

In this week's conversation Aaron and Kevin are talking about what it looks like for a Christian to live a life that demans of an explanation. The life of the Christian ought to shine brightly in this world that is so often clouded in the darkness of sin. We love, sacrifice, are generous, forgive, etc. - or, at least that's what Christ has worked into us by his spirit.

We hope that this conversation is inspiring to you and that you would be so filled with the Spirit of the living God that your life would demand an explanation.

We hope you enjoy it!
