The Coffee Hour from KFUO Radio
Grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest) and join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you all the stories you want to hear from around the LCMS. Catch the inside scoop from your favorite Lutheran-famous people, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live confidently and counter-culturally Lutheran in a secular world. You won’t find these stories anywhere else!
