#099: Looking Back at the Beginning (REPLAY)

Today is our 99th episode! We can barely believe it. As we prepare to bring you our 100th episode next week, we thought it would be fitting to look back at the beginning. Our first episode was on February 18, 2018, and was hosted by Matt Reichert. The title of the episode was “Charting a Course for NPM” and featured NPM President Steve Petrunak and Fr. Karl Pung.

The episode shows a lot of growth in how far we’ve come, as an association, in the last 2 years. And the article by Fr. Karl Pung is an interesting reflection of the expectations music ministers and pastors have on each other.
