The Flathead Valley is known for its mountains, lakes, and wide-open spaces, but the relationships people build here are what truly make it home. In this episode, David Wigginton sits down with Brenna Stanfield, interim parish pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Kalispell, for a conversation about community, belonging, and the role faith organizations can play in helping people connect in a fast-changing valley. Brenna shares her journey from the Midwest to Montana, her calling to ministry, and the lessons she's learned balancing family, faith, and leadership.

The conversation also explores how First Presbyterian Church serves the broader Kalispell community through outreach programs, local partnerships, and a commitment to welcoming people where they are. From supporting families in need to opening its doors to community groups, Brenna offers a thoughtful perspective on what it means to build a stronger, more connected community—one relationship at a time.
