Unlocking a New Ministry Model
April 8, 2026 | News
“Empowering lay leaders is a way to unlock ministry and giftedness that is often overlooked.”
Two NC Synod pastors—Will Rose (Holy Trinity, Chapel Hill) and Thomas Johnston (St. James, Rockwell)—have launched Your Matter Matters, a limited-series podcast exploring the relationship between faith and science.
Supported by a Peeler/Casey Fund grant and created in partnership with the Lutheran Alliance for Faith, Science, and Technology, the podcast “keeps the AND in faith and science,” inviting thoughtful dialogue rather than division.
Now live, episodes are well-suited for adult education classes and small group conversations.
