As we've shared interviews with our confirmation students these last few weeks, one question remained: What would happen if those students talked to each other WITHOUT adults in the conversation?

This is the result: A conversation between four girls about life and faith. Thanks to our participants, Katie Johnson, Anna Leuning, Lydia Nelson, and Bergen Quello. We already knew they were amazing, and here's your chance to hear why.

Also, we debut new music from our amazing Matthew Tylutki, co-written with the OG Martin Luther. Can you guess that tune?

Ep 5 - "What do you think God loves about you?"

In last week's episode, one of our confirmation students, Lydia, submitted her mom to a deadly gauntlet of questions. In this episode, Lydia's classmate Bergen sits down with her mom Susan. Halfway through the conversation, Susan turns the tables on Bergen and asks her some of these same deep questions.

If you love hearing what Bergen has to say, tune in to Episode 6, where Lydia, Bergen, Anna (from Episode 2), and their classmate Katie have a roundtable conversation about God--with no adults to get in the way.

Ep 4 - "That name just spoke to me..."

hearknow@oslchurch.com (Melissa Nelson, Lydia Nelson) — Tue, 12 May 2020 21:09:54 +0000

This is the latest in our series of recordings from our 2020 podcasting elective. You've already heard kids talk to pastors. What happens when we turn them loose on their parents?

Joining us in this episode are Lydia and Melissa Nelson. These were supposed to be conversations, but you'll notice that Lydia prefers a different approach we might kindly call...interrogation.

Ep 3 - "There's something tapping me on the shoulder, saying, 'I need you to do something...'"

Another in our series of conversations from the 2020 Podcasting Confirmation Elective class (what a mouthful!).

Prior to the recording, we discussed our favorite Mexican food. Here are the results:

Bergen: Chicken enchiladas

Kyan: Steak enchiladas

Tim: Tiny flautas

Justin: Tiny chimichangas

Special thanks to Bergen Quello and Kyan Carlson for joining us.

Ep 2 - "Is there anything you ever wanted to ask God but never had the courage to?"

Our confirmation program (with 6th-8th grade students) features spring electives where students pick a course of study that sounds interesting. Some students work hands-on with adult volunteers in the OSL wood shop. Some learn about other faith traditions. But what happens when some students ended up in a podcasting elective with Pr Justin--especially when they know nothing about podcasting?

In the first of a series, we hear conversation and stories from students in this class.

"For me, it's always been a demonstration of God's faithfulness that I heard this call...so young..."

hearknow@oslchurch.com (Pr Sami Johson, Pr Justin Kosec) — Tue, 14 Apr 2020 21:27:36 +0000

Justin talks to Pr Sami Johnson. This conversation was recorded a year ago, and released just as Our Savior's says good-bye to Sami at the conclusion of her ministry to our community.
