  Aug 14, 202635 minS3

  Season 3 begins with a conversation about friendship, ministry, and the future of young adults in the Lutheran Church.

Toby shares about his ministry in Oklahoma, his experience in Omaha, and what young adults truly need from their congregations. Together, Mike and Toby discuss belonging, meaningful relationships, and the importance of giving young adults “A Seat at the Table.” More than an event, HODOS is an opportunity to remind young adults that they are seen, needed, and most importantly claimed by Christ. Different stories. Different pews. The same promise of Jesus.
