Welcome to Faith Listens, a podcast brought to you by the Formation Co-Op. The Formation Co-Op is a Lilly funded initiative of the ELCA Youth Ministry Network, in partnership with the ELCA, that partners with congregations to explore innovative youth ministry practices to root young people in a lifelong, transformative faith in Jesus Christ.

This podcast will help you learn from the first cohort of congregations in the Formation Co-Op. They’ll share their experiences, lessons learned, and stories of growth from their time in the Co-Op. Their journeys offer practical insights and inspiration for anyone passionate about faith formation with children, youth and families.

New episodes posted every Thursday!
