{The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge} Three Year Anniversary: Arch Book Shenanigans!

Happy third anniversary to the Lutheran Ladies’ Lounge podcast!

To commemorate the festive occasion, Sarah, Erin, Bri, and Rachel throw an audio Arch Book party, spotlighting Concordia Publishing House’s classic series of picture book Bible stories as they try their hands at writing their own rhyming Bible narratives.

The only trouble? Nearly all the obvious Bible stories have already been made into Arch Books in the last fifty-plus years (some of them several times over). Listen and laugh as the intrepid Ladies scrape the bottom of the proverbial barrel, seeking out the handful of stories and angles that haven’t yet been adapted into Arch Books.

Listen to Rachel recount the story of “Eutychus and the Really Long Sermon” from Acts 20, and hear Erin reflect on the thankless job of Old Testament prophet in “Truthful, not Nice.” Sarah gets a little messy with her rendition of “Ezekiel and the Bad News for Jerusalem,” and Bri digs deep to tell the not-quite-G-rated tale of “Deborah and Barak, Jael and Sisera.”

Sarah Gulseth

A proud Michigan native and fan of anything with the Mitten State on it, Digital Media Manager Sarah Gulseth is also a lover of historical war movies and anything with the label PBS Masterpiece. An avid bicyclist and women’s biking advocate, she rides her bike to work year-round and has the massive bike clothing and accessory collection to prove it. If it’s the weekend, she and her husband Luther are probably out riding bikes, or finding the next awesome coffee shop to frequent, or rehearsing for the next choir concert. You may also find her down a new rabbit hole on Google, researching the latest random fact she found on social media, while eating an unhealthy amount of apples (Macintosh from Michigan, of course) and raw almond butter.
