This week on Grace Period, Josh Nauman is back alongside Noel Thompson as we welcome special guest Isaiah Salvador for a conversation about Pentecost, closing chapters, graduations, and the chaos of this time of year.

As school years end and summer begins, life can feel exciting, emotional, exhausting, and nonstop all at once. Together, we talk about transitions, staying grounded during busy seasons, the emotions that come with change, and how Pentecost reminds us that God still meets people in the middle of uncertainty and movement.

An honest conversation about faith, growing up, change, and navigating the busy seasons of life.

We’re launching a brand new series called Member Series — conversations focused on getting to know the incredible people who make up Christ Lutheran Church.

In this episode, I sit down with CLC member Mike Jorgenson. Mike has spent decades in education. He’s also a Hall of Fame inducted coach, an All-American track & field athlete, and in 1982 had the 7th fastest time in the world in his event. Originally from Iowa, Mike shares stories from athletics, leadership, education, faith, and life along the way.

It’s a conversation full of wisdom, perspective, humor, and encouragement — and a reminder that every member of our church has an incredible story worth hearing.

This week, we sit down with Christ Lutheran Church member Michael Lingenfelter for a conversation about his journey to becoming an MAT practitioner and the important work he does helping people in recovery.

Michael brings clarity to what MAT actually is, shares the heart behind his work, and talks honestly about walking alongside people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

It’s a meaningful conversation about vocation, compassion, second chances, and what it looks like to truly help people heal.
