Your content is wonderfully unique and rooted in Christ and therefore makes a space for non-traditional thinkers! Thank you so much and please don’t stop!
I am a member of the WELS synod (I believe many 1517 content is LCMS?) but this podcast and many of the 1517 content is great! It’s good to see quality Lutheran content!
My wife and I love Mrs. K!
