Episode 10: Rev. Steve Jester and the Presbyterian Roots of Lebanon
In this episode of Mildly Amusing, host James Spragens sits down with Rev. Steve Jester, the new pastor at Lebanon’s United Presbyterian Church. Rev. Jester shares how he once expected to go into law, then thought he might become an academic preacher before ultimately finding his calling as a community pastor.
Hear about the oldest complete Bible ever discovered, how influential Thomas Merton has been in his spiritual life, and a story about Merton’s connection to Lebanon. Along the way, you’ll hear how Lebanon was founded by Presbyterians in the 1700s.
It’s a thoughtful discussion, perfect to listen to while driving, taking a walk, or whenever you have a few minutes to tune in.
