Dear St. Lukers,
Until this summer I had never listened to a podcast. My kids were always trying to get me to listen to different things they listen to regularly, but I resisted. My vocation involves a lot of talking and I don’t have a long commute.
Podcasts just weren’t on my radar until a new one began with the female stars of a popular 90’s teen drama that I refuse to mention but secretly LOVE! I was actually hooked. It was in 20-minute chunks so I could listen for fun for a while, to get my mind off of the Delta variant, numbers, theologians, etc. I also found it’s a GREAT way for my brain to keep busy while I’m doing something else I don’t particularly enjoy – like folding laundry or putting away the dishes. Kind of like a multi-tasking tonic!
So when more of our staff, especially new staff members began asking if we were ever going to create a podcast, I was a little more open to the idea. As we put together a rhythm of a weekly routine for St. Lukers (Learn, Live, Love, and Lead) we realized the pandemic has taught us the more tools we can get in St. Lukers hands (Zoom, videos, livestream worship, and…podcasts) the more opportunities we would have to be connected in St. Lukers’ lives throughout the week.
