Porch Talk with Father Aaron
Porch Talk with Father Aaron
Podcast Description
Welcome! Here we have conversations where the Christian faith interacts (or intersects) with topics found outside of the typical, safe church environment. We wanted to address the question: "What happens when a priest talks with people of the community about topics that are important to them, but not necessarily what you might hear Sunday morning?" Our church porch (or patio) was designed to facilitate these meaningful and authentic conversations, so we called this "Porch Talk." Join us!

Fr. Aaron speaks with Shelly Linderman, the Executive Director for Wiregrass Angel House (https://wiregrassangelhouse.org/) in Dothan, Alabama. For many years, they have maintained a ministry, covering eight countries in southeast Alabama, that helps families facing the trauma of a loved one they lost to either criminal homicide or tragic suicide. They discuss how Wiregrass Angel House walks ”through the valley of the shadow of death” (Psalm 23:4) with these families from the cleanup after discovering the deceased, all the way through the court proceedings of trial for the perpetrators. Topics of prayer, grief, and comfort are covered, all while pursuing God's beauty in a world laden with much that can be ugly.
