Do you love bluegrass music? Matt Petersen and Katie Petersen (members of The Petersens, a family band that performs American roots music) join Andy and Sarah from the 2026 Getty Sing! Conference to talk about their upbringing in the Christian church, how their family decided to become a band, what is unique about bluegrass music, how their faith is a part of their music and performing, and how hymns are a part of their family and professional life.
Learn more about The Petersens and how to catch a live show (in Branson, MO, or elsewhere!) at petersenband.com.
As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran. Have a topic you’d like to hear about on The Coffee Hour? Contact us at: listener@kfuo.org.
Today’s episode of The Coffee Hour is underwritten in part by Concordia University, Nebraska. You can learn more about Concordia University, Nebraska at cune.edu.
