    Episode 2: "Confirmed in the Faith"

    Thanks for joining us for Episode 2 of “On the Mount of Olives”! Today Pastors Soule and Ulrich are joined by Pastor Ben Wiechmann from Mt. Olive’s sister church, Peace Lutheran in North Mankato, MN, as they discuss the topic of “Confirmation”: What it is? Where does it come from? Why we do it in the Lutheran Church? The guys decided to discuss this topic this week because confirmation is coming up at both churches the following two Sundays. Pastor Wiechmann also discusses some exciting upcoming things happening at Peace Lutheran. So, grab a coffee or your favorite Lutheran beverage, sit down, relax, and join Luke, Andrew, and Ben as they discuss what Confirmation is all about, as we learn together “On the Mount of Olives!” Producer: Alex Gutzke Music: "On My Heart Imprint Thine Image"; Original Text: "Skriv dig Jesu Paa mit Hjerte" by: Thomas Kingo.
