Every pew holds a story.

Every story brings us closer to God.

People in the Pews is a podcast dedicated to sharing real, unscripted stories of faith — the moments when God showed up, when hope was restored, and when ordinary people experienced something extraordinary. Hosted by Rob Schade & Gina Marquez (English) and Selene Rojas (Spanish).

Finding God in the Ordinary

Sometimes the holiest moments aren't found in grand cathedrals or mountaintop experiences — they're tucked inside a quiet Tuesday morning, a stranger's unexpected kindness, or the still small voice that cuts through the noise of an ordinary day. God is not waiting for the extraordinary. He is already here.

WHY STORIES MATTER

Stories are how we understand God's work in the world.

When we hear how God has moved in someone else's life, something shifts in us. We see possibilities we couldn't see before. We find courage we didn't know we had.

We Know Each Other Better

Stories break down walls and build bridges between hearts.

Compassion Grows

Hearing another's journey opens us to deeper empathy and love.

Community Deepens

Shared stories weave us together into something stronger than we are alone.

We Draw Closer to God

Each story is a reminder that God is still at work — in every pew, in every life.
