This winter, Pastor Alf is leading us through a six-part sermon series, All Things New. To supplement the series, we are presenting a weekly podcast hosted by long-time member, former staffer, and experienced podcaster, Christyn Knoop.
Check out the episodes at the links below as Christyn talks with a series of MDPC members sharing their stories of new paths taken: a new community, a new normal, a new country, a new challenge, a new stage, a new faith, and a new season.
Episodes release each Saturday evening for six weeks.
