What do video games, computer engineering, Amazon, a move across the country, and finding your way back to church have in common?

Maybe more than you’d expect.

In this episode of 2414, Shane Welter and Brenda sit down with Ian Rosenbery for a conversation about the road that brought him from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest—and some of the unexpected turns along the way.

Ian shares stories about growing up, work, friendship, technology, faith, and the things that can quietly shape the direction of a life. Along the way, they wrestle with some bigger questions: What happens when independence isn't quite enough? How do our relationships change us? And what does it look like to recognize God's work when it doesn't necessarily happen the way we expected?

It's funny in places, honest in others, and ultimately a conversation about paying attention to where God may be leading—even when you didn't realize you were being led.

How do young Christians learn to speak about their faith with honesty, confidence, and joy? In this episode of the 2414 Podcast, Shane Welter and Brenda sit down with Lily and Thalia for a real conversation about growing up in the church, remembering baptism, and sharing faith in everyday life.

This episode explores what it looks like to grow up surrounded by family, church, and Christian community—and how those influences shape a young person’s walk with Jesus. Lily and Thalia share memories from Sunday school, baptismal birthday traditions, favorite church moments, and the people who have encouraged their faith along the way. They also talk about practical ways they share Jesus with friends, cousins, and classmates, whether through conversation, Bible stories, school, or simply being present in everyday life.

As part of the 1-2-3 Challenge at St. Luke’s, this conversation highlights what it means to take intentional steps in faith: to gather, grow, and go. It’s a reminder that God works through ordinary people, ordinary routines, and ordinary conversations to create and strengthen faith.
If you’ve ever wondered how faith is passed on, how baptism shapes identity, or how kids and teens can live out their Christian faith in daily life, this episode is for you.

Topics include:
• Growing up in a Christian family
• Baptism and baptismal birthday traditions
• Sunday school memories and church community
• Sharing faith at school and with friends
• Practical ways kids and teens talk about Jesus
• The 1-2-3 Challenge: Gather, Grow, Go
