About this listen

Welcome to our laid-back Christ Lutheran podcast, where we chat about faith, real life, and all the messy, beautiful moments in between. Think of it like sitting down with friends over a drink—sharing stories, asking big questions, laughing at ourselves, and leaning into God’s grace as we sort out what it means to follow Jesus in the everyday. No sermons, no pressure—just honest conversation, a little humor, and plenty of room for wonder. This podcast is brought to you by Christ Lutheran Church of Visalia, California.

  • The Season of Lent.
    Feb 18 2026

    In this upcoming episode, we step into the sacred season of Lent — forty days of repentance, reflection, and renewal. Beginning with Ash Wednesday and leading us to the cross on Good Friday, Lent invites us to slow down, take an honest look at our hearts, and cling more deeply to Christ’s mercy and God's grace.

    Lent isn’t about earning God’s favor. It’s about returning to the cross — trusting that Christ has already accomplished what we never could. In this episode, we reflect on us not being perfect, the depth of Christ’s sacrifice, and the sure hope that carries us toward the joy of the resurrection.

    Whether you’ve observed Lent your whole life or are encountering it for the first time, this conversation will encourage you to walk these forty days with honesty, humility, and confidence in the gospel.

    Stay tuned — and let’s journey to the cross together.

  • Vocation Series: Paul Delgado
    Feb 5 2026

    In this week’s episode, the conversation features our very own co-worker and music minister, Paul Delgado, as he shares a thoughtful and down-to-earth look at what vocation really means.

    The episode explores how Paul first sensed his calling, how music became a place of purpose for him, and how he continues to grow into the work God has placed before him. Listeners will hear honest reflections, lighthearted moments, and meaningful insight into the way vocation often takes shape over time—not all at once.

    It’s a friendly, encouraging conversation that invites everyone to reflect on their own sense of calling and how God works through ordinary people and everyday gifts.

    Tune in and be part of the journey!

  • Devotional Time
    Jan 30 2026

    In this episode, we slow things down and lean into the power of devotionals—those quiet, intentional moments that shape our faith day by day. Whether you’re consistent, struggling to stay focused, or just starting out, we’ll explore why devotionals matter, how they deepen our relationship with God, and practical ways to make them part of real life (not just the “perfect schedule” life).

    Expect honest reflections, simple encouragement, and reminders that devotion isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. Come as you are, and let’s grow together.
