Episode Synopsis

[Enter Sarah]: “All right! Here we go! Time to record our 300th episode. Open up the studio. Turn on the mics... Wait a sec. Where’s Rachel? For that matter, where’s Erin? Where are my fellow Lutheran Ladies? My sisters in Christ? Something is definitely fishy here.” 

What happens when Erin and Rachel are late to a podcast recording session and Katharine Von Bora shows up instead — in her very own, state-of-the-art herring barrel time machine?  

It’s a Story Time adventure for the ages as the Lutheran Ladies celebrate their 300th episode in rare style. Join Sarah and Katie (soon-to-be Luther) as they travel through time on a quest to find their fellow Lutheran ladies — their sisters in Christ — and end up meeting a Who’s Who of Lutheran women along the way.
