Talking Ministry: The Past, Present and Future with Rev. Dr. Glen Soderholm
What can decades of worship leading teach us about faithfulness, community, and the slow work of God? In our conversation with Glen Soderholm, we trace the shape of a lifetime spent helping congregations sing. Glen reflects on his early ministry, the musicians who formed him, and the joys and challenges of leading worship in real churches with real people. He talks about pastoral presence, musical craft, theological depth, and the surprising gift of staying rooted. It’s a rich, humble conversation about worship as a long obedience — one shaped by love for God, love for people, and love for the church.
