Description
In this episode of Under the Fig Tree, co-hosts Rev. Craig Reiter and Seminarian Daniel Oberdieck welcome first-year, second-career Seminarian Lupe Sosa. Sosa shares how a successful career in software development, a near-death experience and the birth of his son Axel led him and his family back to church and ultimately to Concordia Seminary.
Hear how God worked through challenges, family support and a caring church community to guide Lupe toward pastoral ministry, and why he encourages others to trust the Lord when considering the path to seminary.
