    <description>Ministry isn’t always sunshine and unicorns. It can be rough and tough.  It can leave you broken and bruised, but there’s joy through it all. What joy with the presence of Christ in the midst of the messy! Come and listen to Pastor Aaron and Deaconess Mika discuss the ins and outs, highs and lows, twists and turns of Ministry at Grace Lutheran Church in Auburn, Michigan. Each episode will tackle how Jesus brings peace out of chaos, gladness out of sadness, and life out of death! By His wounds, we are healed, even when we’re still black and blue.
