Sermons provide information, explanation, and application. However, the real goal is life change!
Have you ever wanted to go deeper with a sermon? Perhaps you feel like each Sunday brings new information that you quickly forget. This podcast will help you sit with the sermon.
A member of Swamp Mennonite Church will sit with Pastor Nathan to discuss the previous week's sermon. The conversation will allow them to ask questions, express disagreement, and share stories about how the sermon is impacting their life.
Join us as we celebrate grace, encourage growth, and proclaim victory!

It is also a little nerve-wracking to sit and have the same conversation two times in a row. So a huge THANK YOU to Wendell for his patience, persistence, and forgiveness.
