As these "bricks" come together, they form a spiritual household of faith, known as the Church. Hosted by Pastor Ben Vogel, Lead Pastor at Bethany Lutheran in Parma, OH, and his daughter Samantha. The Brick podcast takes time to get to know the people who make up the congregation and the Church community.
