WELS podcasts: Where Two or Three

Podcast: Where Two or Three

Hosts: Prof. Mark Paustian and John Wildauer

Description: Christian conversation at the table of communication scholarship

A taste of previous topics: Mark Paustian and John Wildauer have been podcasting together since 2019. They bring extensive academic knowledge in the field of communications, which they thoughtfully blend into theological conversations. Past episodes have covered topics like conflict resolution, hospitality, listening, apologetics, worship, difficult conversations, and more—always through a biblical lens.

Length: Approx. 90 min.

Some thoughts: The inspiration for Where Two or Three comes from Matthew 18:20: “Where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” In the very first episode, Paustian and Wildauer discuss how this verse relates to the reconciliation between believers that is available only through Christ. Paustian—a professor at Martin Luther College—goes on to say, “The communication world has words like reconciliation and words like forgiveness. But it doesn’t have the death of God’s Son standing behind them.” The hosts (who each hold a master’s degree in communications) set out to explore the unique intersection between communication theory and biblical theology. While episodes are often lengthy and quite academic in nature, listeners will find themselves enthralled by the chemistry between Paustian and Wildauer as they approach each topic with grace, curiosity, and a sense of humor.
