2 Years of the Walnut Women Podcast and Talking About Technology
I am the social media officer at my home church, and I am proud of the resources we have to share with our members and friends. Walnut Women is one of my favorite podcasts, and I spoke with my friend Leslie about producing her podcast. We also discussed the dangers of a hurried lifestyle and the importance of cultivating creativity in our children. Watch on YouTube.
In case you missed it, on our Walnut Commentary podcast I talked with Katy, our Children's Director, about preaching in Children's Worship and our new series on the Catechism. We share insight into how we craft our messages for children and how it's hard but worthwhile work. Watch on YouTube and view a transcript on our Blog.
