Craig is fresh off his recent promotional tour for his show SCRABBLE and he reflects on some interviews he did on podcasts. But things very quickly turn to the topic of vampires? Why? Because sometimes they need to be discussed. But that doesn't prevent some tweets and emails being answered. There's still plenty of time for both. Have a question for Craig?

Today's episode might sound like it belongs in a seminary class, but trust us, Pastor Eric helps explain what we are talking about! So, what exactly is The Book of Concord? Does it involve grapes? Airliners? A college in Moorhead? Not quite. To put in simply…The Book of Concord helps us answer what it means to be Lutheran. Written in 1580, it is the document that creates the foundation that all Lutheran churches can agree upon. The word “concord” literally means an agreement or harmony between people or groups. Have a listen…we promise you will come away with some new knowledge!

It's been a week packed with travel for Craig as he's been zigzagging across this great nation shooting segments for his freshly-announced CNN show, American On Purpose.

Pastor Eric is in the studio today to talk about the wedding at Cana, which is Jesus' first sign (we'll get into why the Gospel of John calls it a “sign” and not a “miracle”). He gives us a little background to set up the story and then treats us to a retelling of it to fill in the details. And Eric and Marnie discuss how the story is about God encountering us amid our everyday lives and saying He will be present with us.

On this week's podcast, you get two guests for the price of one! Heather Wald and Bella Kumagai sit down to talk with Marnie about the different styles of worship we offer at Spirit of Joy. Depending on the service, it's a little bit of hymns, a little bit of contemporary, a little bit of liturgical elements, all blended into one. Bella and Heather talk about the enjoyment of a group of instrumentalists and singers creating music together. They give a little plug to invite more people to join in to play/sing (especially if you play guitar!). And Heather might persuade Bella to give a sample of the Lord's Prayer in Portuguese!

On this episode of Full of Joy, we welcome into the studio our youngest guest to date, Taylor Quinn. Taylor shares his life story of the last twenty years which has involved major life transitions and personal tragedy, but also how these experiences have helped him to find the good in difficult situations. Currently a sophomore at Augustana University majoring in government and economics (with goals of going to law school and the military), he discusses why service is so important to his faith and why he truly believes in loving your neighbor as yourself. And he talks about the importance to his faith of being surrounded by good family and friends. Trust us, he is no ordinary Gen Z'er!

Okay…let's get down to business (sort of). On today's podcast we are explaining the organizational structure at Spirit of Joy. It's how we do what we do. Pastor Eric lays out the framework of the church leadership and how it all starts at the top with every partner in our congregation. From there, we have our 10-person leadership team, our ministry teams, and various subteams, all of which are organized around our five core values. Eric and Marnie discuss in detail what each team does and how everyone can get involved in the mission of Spirit of Joy.

If longevity equals wisdom, then today we welcome Spirit of Joy's wisest partner…Adeline Schempp. Adeline sits down with Marnie and shares about her life growing up on a farm outside of Menno during the “Dark ‘30s,” a time that included grasshoppers, cow pies for heat, snakes in the cellar, and lots and lots of dirt.

It's the new year and we have the first episode of the Joy Podcast of the new year. And what better way to kick off 2026 with Craig checking in with you all? But first some light housekeeping and a quick addressing of a unintentionally controversial take about bagpipes from last week's episode and possibly following it up with another unpopular opinion about more music.

Christmas in January? Of course! The Christmas season lasts from Christmas Eve until the arrival of “we three kings” on January 6th (for those doing the math, that would be twelve days of Christmas).

Michele Vogel, Director of Children's Faith Formation, is back for one more story this Christmas season. This one is a little different than the traditional church Christmas tale, but one that will probably be familiar to most: Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Don't worry, Michele will explain how it fits into the reason for the season. So, grab the whole family, pour some hot cocoa and, if you have a copy, follow along in the book and look at the pictures!

I have another encore episode for you today and I recorded a brand new intro, sharing some of my current thoughts as I relistened to our conversation. This Q & A was the 3rd part of a 3-part series that Eric and I did together in 2021. I decided to use Part 3 (which was episode 39) as the encore episode because its a great summary of what we covered as a whole on this topic. So as you listen today, you'll hear us talk about things like conflict, communication, friendship in marriage, principle vs. preference, how we change as individuals over decades of marriage, and how grief has affected our relationship. One of the biggest take aways that I heard as I re-listened, is that while there IS so much joy to be found in marriage and family, our joy can't be rooted and ultimately dependent on it. Our deepest satisfaction, hope, and joy needs to be grounded in something bigger. In someONE bigger - in God and in our relationship with Him...this is the key to a lasting, thriving, godly marriage! I'm excited for you to relisten (or maybe listen for the first time!) and I hope there is something in our conversation that brings you encouragement today and helps your own fight for joy in marriage!

Well, surprise! I wasn't planning to release an episode with ALL new content until after the holidays, but last week I had an idea to start a monthly "Joy Report"...sharing some of the things that are bringing me joy right now! I share some pretty heavy stories on this podcast so I thought it would be fun to add a shorter, lighter episode once a month. Today, on my first "Joy Report", you'll hear me share a list of 5 things that are bringing me joy here in November!

How's our Joy doing? Bridled? On life support? Where do we find joy in a world that seems by any rational measure to be collapsing around us?

On this encore episode with my dear friend of 36 years, Cathy Brown, you'll get a glimpse into the difficulty of losing your mom too soon. Shortly after graduating from college, Cathy was at work waitressing when she got the awful news that her mom had died while traveling home from Paris. Cathy was my very first guest on the podcast and I've pointed quite a few people to this episode over the years as they've shared their own stories of losing their moms too soon. I've heard over and over how helpful Cathy's insight and encouragement is around fighting for joy not just in this particular kind of grief, but grief in general. Cathy shares good insight about the "both/and" of healing and grieving - how healing doesn't mean that you won't still have pain...and how pain doesn't mean you aren't healing. You'll appreciate her encouragement around experiencing healing, progress, and joy, even with a hurting heart. We also spend some time reflecting on how grief changes and affects so many different aspects of your life, including faith and relationships. Since we recorded this episode 7 years ago, Cathy has become a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, trained in EMDR Therapy, and sees clients as a Licensed Professional Counselor (I need to have her on again!). If you are struggling with the aftereffects of losing a loved one, especially if it was an untimely death, I encourage you to listen to Cathy's story of losing her mom and beginning her fight for joy. *The Fighting for Joy Podcast is sponsored by Better Help, an online counseling service that pairs you with a professional licensed therapist who will combine Biblical wisdom with their clinical expertise in mental health to help you address your unique situation. As a Fighting for Joy listener, you can receive 10% off at: betterhelp.com/fightingforjoy. Christian counseling is a worthy investment and can be such a powerful tool in the fight for joy!
