Pastor Mike Drop

Lutheran Church of Hope staffers Kolette & Pastor Ben visit the Mike Drop desk to share their experiences with managing stress and anxiety in the community. In their discussion with Pastor Mike & Emily, we learn how Christians can deal with mental illness without it becoming a stigma.

Business leaders Tammy DeHaai and Mitch Matthews share their wisdom on faith in the workplace. They join Pastor Mike Housholder and Emily Langpaul in a discussion of how our faith and work lives intersect in our culture.

Pastors Dave & Merv—the Yoda & Obi Wan of Lutheran Church of Hope (we won't say which is which!)—share their immense expertise on the state of the changing church. From their years in the trenches, growing congregations and expanding new ministries, to recent research on church growth and attendance, these two have seen it all.

Dr. Withers, a college professor for many years, and Jamie, Lutheran Church of Hope's young adult minister, discuss with Mike and Emily the challenges of bringing the church to the latest generation of adults, and why so few enter church doors to begin with.

Friends for over 25 years, featured last year in a KCCI news story as community leaders who work for racial harmony in Des Moines, Pastor Michael Hurst and Pastor MIke Housholder sit down together for a heartfelt conversation with co-host Emily Langpaul about race, prejudice, how they've bonded as brothers and their radical God-sized dreams for the future of this city! Don’t miss this one!
