Join our Associate Pastor Lora East as she interviews Karen Wright Marsh, the author of the book that inspired our Sermon Series from early 2022. This podcast series will highlight 6 Christians that impacted many with their journey. We will also interview the pastors from our church and learn how they chose their vintage saint, and why and how they were called to the ministry.

Saints are people too.
The word saint conjures up images of superstar Christians revered for their spectacular acts and otherworldly piety. But when we take a closer look at the lives of these spiritual heavyweights, we learn that they also experienced struggle, doubt, and heartache.
In fact, we learn that in many ways they're not all that different from you and me.
Narrating her own winding pilgrimage through faith, Karen Marsh reveals surprising lessons in everyday spirituality from these "saints"―folks who lived and breathed, and failed and followed God. Told with humor and vulnerability, Vintage Saints and Sinners introduces us afresh to twenty-five brothers and sisters who challenge and inspire us with their honest faith.
Using the included conversation starters, you can join Karen on her journey with the likes of Augustine, Brother Lawrence, and Saint Francis, as well as Amanda Berry Smith, Søren Kierkegaard, Dorothy Day, Howard Thurman, Flannery O'Connor, and many more. Let their lives and their wisdom be an invitation to authentic life in Christ.
