SEASON 2
We're back! We're so excited to start season 2 with our new hosts, Angel Pereira and Arleny Aquino, and executive producer Isaí Ramírez! We introduce our new hosts to you by having them get interviewed by their best friends! Be sure to subscribe and tune in every two weeks for a new episode. You won't want to pass this up!
On this episode, we put guest Zac De Leon on the hot seat as he shares with us vulnerable stories from his life, what he really thinks about seminarians and more.
Ep 3: Home Is Where the Love Is
In this episode, Nehemiah Sitler shares how love is what makes communities and takes us on a journey through his life and how each community impacted every significant moment—ultimately inspiring him during some of the hardest times, creating some of the fondest memories.
Ep 4: Social Emotional Development
In this episode, Jeff McCoy shares how much he values his Benton Harbor community. He tells us about his new business that's focused on community development and how passionate he is about being an agent for improvement to happen for his community and other communities.
Ep 5: Community That Transcends
In this episode, we have something a little different. Jonathan Leonardo, Andrews University alum and current pastor in Hawaii, was on campus to speak for Week of Revival, so Mikey and Isaí sat down with him to talk about community in the Spirit, how that transcends affinities and how his view of community has changed over the years.
(We apologize for the slightly bad audio. We had technical difficulties. The quality of the content remained intact and is definitely worth your listen!)
Happy New Year! We're back for the semester! Listen in as we'll be transitioning to releasing on Mondays. For our first episode back, Angel and Arleny catch up, discuss our new topic for this semester, and Arleny shares some sad news with us. Stay tuned for some great conversations!
