The Apprenticeship Way Podcast

Hey Friends, I’m Marc Alan Schelske, and this is The Apprenticeship Way. A Podcast about Spiritual Growth Following the Way of Jesus.

Monthly-ish. Spoken-word monologues and conversations about a more generous way of being Christian. Conversations are focused and edited, so you don’t have to sit through banter to get to the good stuff. Episodes are only published when I have something worthwhile to share that I think will stand the test of time.

Available as an audio podcast in all the Podcast apps and services, video on Youtube, and transcription on the episode page.

I just wanted to say how much I love your podcast and your email content. You’ve been a beacon of light in my faith journey since I came across your blog a year or two ago…your podcast has been particularly helpful in helping me grow in faith during this time. Thank you for all that you do — I really appreciate your ministry.
