Grace Period

Listen for free

Welcome to our laid-back Christ Lutheran podcast, where we chat about faith, real life, and all the messy, beautiful moments in between. Think of it like sitting down with friends over a drink—sharing stories, asking big questions, laughing at ourselves, and leaning into God’s grace as we sort out what it means to follow Jesus in the everyday. No sermons, no pressure—just honest conversation, a little humor, and plenty of room for wonder. This podcast is brought to you by Christ Lutheran Church of Visalia, California.

  • From Camper to Leader
    Jun 11 2026

    This week, we're joined by two incredible student leaders, Frankie Hartman and Makayla Fleming, from our Summer Adventure Camp. What makes their story so special? They once sat in the same seats as campers and are now helping lead the next generation.

    We talk about their favorite Summer Adventure Camp memories, how their faith has grown over the years, what they've learned through leadership, and why Summer Adventure Camp continues to make an impact.

    It's a fun and meaningful conversation about faith, growth, service, and what happens when today's campers become tomorrow's leaders

  • The Youth Group Generation
    Jun 5 2026

    This week, Noel Thompson is joined by friend Ashley Irvine for a conversation that is equal parts nostalgic, honest, and healing.

    Together, they look back on growing up in youth groups during the early 2000s—a time of purity rings, WWJD bracelets, altar calls, youth conferences, and a lot of pressure surrounding faith, salvation, evangelism, heaven, and hell.

    But this episode isn't just about nostalgia. It's also about the ways some of those messages impacted us long after high school. Noel and Ashley talk openly about the anxiety, guilt, and spiritual trauma that many people from their generation are still working through, while also recognizing the friendships, faith experiences, and moments that helped shape who they are today.

    It's an honest conversation about faith, healing, grace, and what it means to revisit the beliefs that formed us.

  • Holy Chaos
    May 21 2026

    This week on Grace Period, Josh Nauman is back alongside Noel Thompson as we welcome special guest Isaiah Salvador for a conversation about Pentecost, closing chapters, graduations, and the chaos of this time of year.

    As school years end and summer begins, life can feel exciting, emotional, exhausting, and nonstop all at once. Together, we talk about transitions, staying grounded during busy seasons, the emotions that come with change, and how Pentecost reminds us that God still meets people in the middle of uncertainty and movement.

    An honest conversation about faith, growing up, change, and navigating the busy seasons of life.
