Every story has a beginning, and every people have a history that shapes their future. As Israel's story begins under oppression in Egypt, we meet ordinary people—the Hebrew midwives and Pharaoh's daughter—whose courageous faith changes history. Their stories remind us that faith has never been confined to houses of worship but has always been lived out in the public square.

Tune in to this week's podcast with Pastor Melissa as she explores Exodus 1 so we can consider how God is speaking to us through this Scripture today.

What happens when the Holy Spirit interrupts ordinary life? In this Pentecost episode of Your Week with St. Luke’s, Pastors Corey and Melissa dive into Acts 2:1–21 and explore how God’s Spirit transformed fearful disciples into a courageous, compassionate community that carried the story of Jesus into the world. Together, they reflect on the meaning of Pentecost as more than a dramatic moment of wind, fire, and speaking in different languages. It is the reminder that God still breathes new life into ordinary people today. Through honest conversation and personal stories, Corey and Melissa wrestle with what it means to listen for the Spirit in seasons of uncertainty, disruption, waiting, and community. They talk about how the Holy Spirit gathers diverse people together without erasing their differences, how God often works through both careful plans and unexpected interruptions, and why faith was never meant to be lived alone. Whether you are longing for direction, feeling stuck, or simply wondering how God might still be moving in your life, this episode offers a hopeful invitation to pay attention. The Spirit may be closer than you think.

What do we do with the parts of our story we wish we could undo? In this week’s episode of Your Week with St. Luke’s, Pastors Corey and Melissa reflect on one of the most tender and human moments in the Gospel of John: the resurrected Jesus meeting Peter beside a breakfast fire in John 21:15–19. After denial, shame, and failure, Peter expects judgment—but instead receives grace, restoration, and a renewed calling to “feed my sheep.” Together, Corey and Melissa explore what it means to follow Jesus after we’ve gotten it wrong, why failure doesn’t disqualify us from purpose, and how love and forgiveness can reshape the way we care for others. This conversation speaks to anyone who has wrestled with guilt, questioned their worth, or wondered if God could still use them after a mistake. Honest, thoughtful, and deeply hopeful, this episode invites listeners to see themselves in Peter’s story—and to hear Jesus’ invitation to begin again.
