    Full of Joy Podcast - Lutheran Stories: SOJ Organizational Structure
    2026/07/02
    Okay…let’s get down to business (sort of). On today’s podcast we are explaining the organizational structure at Spirit of Joy. It’s how we do what we do. Pastor Eric lays out the framework of the church leadership and how it all starts at the top with every partner in our congregation. From there, we have our 10-person leadership team, our ministry teams, and various subteams, all of which are organized around our five core values. Eric and Marnie discuss in detail what each team does and how everyone can get involved in the mission of Spirit of Joy. (Originally aired January 26, 2026)

    As the Full of Joy podcast kicks off a new year, you are in for a special treat! If longevity equals wisdom, then today we welcome Spirit of Joy’s wisest partner…Adeline Schempp. Adeline sits down with Marnie and shares about her life growing up on a farm outside of Menno during the “Dark ‘30s,” a time that included grasshoppers, cow pies for heat, snakes in the cellar, and lots and lots of dirt. She includes stories about attending & teaching in a one-room country schoolhouse, meeting her husband, raising four children, and working on their farm outside of Hurley. She also talks about the importance God’s presence during the death of her brother and how she was raised with the belief “If you can stay out the night before, you have to get up and go to church the next day.” (Originally aired January 12, 2026)

    Spirit of Joy’s five core values—you’re probably familiar with them if for no other reason than they hang on banners in the sanctuary: 1) Radical Hospitality 2) Passionate Worship 3) Lifelong Faith Formation 4) Extravagant Generosity 5) Bold Service They’ve been around since the first partners of our church gathered to discuss who we would be and what that vision would look like. They are woven into our purpose as Spirit of Joy to Welcome, Grow, and Send. Marnie and Eric go through the why and what of each value, and how we use these values to relate to God as a community of faith. (Originally aired November 10, 2025)

    2026/06/24
    What are the regular elements of a church service that help make it feel familiar to us? At Spirit of Joy, we call these frequent pieces that help connect everything together Common Threads. Heather Wald explains all the different ways we incorporate these reoccurring segments and how our worship and visual arts teams intentionally plan out all the details. We also discuss how the lectionary helps us organize our worship services into a three-year cycle. And Heather talks about some of the different ways YOU can be involved to help with our worship (hint…there is a shameless plug to join the choir). (Originally aired November 17, 2025)

    2026/06/23
    Pastor Eric is in the studio today to talk about the wedding at Cana, which is Jesus’ first sign (we’ll get into why the Gospel of John calls it a “sign” and not a “miracle”). He gives us a little background to set up the story and then treats us to a retelling of it to fill in the details. And Eric and Marnie discuss how the story is about God encountering us amid our everyday lives and saying He will be present with us. (Originally aired February 9, 2026)
