I’m so excited to bring you Episode 12 featuring Pete Larson.

Pete Larson is the Founder and Executive Director of Family Fest Ministries. Since 1997, Family Fest has worked to strengthen families and marriages through a variety of retreats and programs such as the Winter Weekend and Summer Splash family camps and the Marriage Booster Retreat. Pete has spent over forty years working with families and youth in a variety of settings including Youth and Family Minister at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Edina, Minnesota and Director of Retreats for Youth Frontiers, leading over 600 character building retreats for 5th through 12th grade students in schools throughout the upper Midwest.

I loved this easy flowing conversation with Pete. We talked about his call to ministry as well as his own cannonball moments and how God showed him over and over again how our worst moments can be used for good.

We touched on so many topics related to our belovedness during this hour…. You won’t want to miss a minute!

What a joy it was to speak with Gretchen Crowder on her Loved As You Are podcast. We had a great conversation about faith, life, family, and being called by God. I was really grateful for the opportunity to talk about how Family Fest started and why we do what we do.
