    If You Ever Meet an Angel with Susannah Mallory

    Our brilliant mind this week is Susannah Mallory, member of Westminster's 2026 Confirmation class! She shares with us her statement of faith from confirmation, which she chose to write in the form of a short story.

    We're Back!

    The podcast where we explore the brilliant minds that have inspired brilliant minds. After almost two years, we are excited to be back this season, which highlights some amazing women in our congregation. We will learn from them, examine how they live out their faith, and how they put their faith into practice. During this time in which our physical gatherings are different than usual, this podcast provides an opportunity for people to stay connected through the sharing of our stories.
