Pastor Phil Lutz joins The One Pebble Podcast to share a powerful, hope-filled story of saying yes to God, again and again. From growing up in a tight-knit faith-filled family in Pennsylvania, to moving to Minnesota for seminary, from being terrified of public speaking, to pastoring for over 40 years, Pastor Phil opens up about God's faithfulness through every season.
We talk about Pastor Phil’s faith, family, life story and hear his wisdom. He shares stories, including stepping into new callings even when life is comfortable. We talk about why mentorship after "retirement" might be some of his most meaningful work yet.
As we approach Easter, Pastor Phil reminds us why the resurrection changes everything. Whether you're young and discerning your calling, seasoned and wondering if your purpose has passed, or somewhere in between, this conversation will encourage you to keep saying yes!
