When “Fear Not” Feels Impossible with Luke Kjolhaug

Luke, welcome back to Outside Ourselves.

I feel like I just had you on.

It's not necessarily the case, but...

What's incredible is that you have written two books kind of back to back.

And so we are here today to talk about the second book, which you actually wrote first before Sinner Saint.

This second book is called Fear Not.

So really looking forward to diving into it.

I love this book.

I'm really excited for people to read it.

So thank you so much for your time.

Yeah, thanks for having me on here again.

The book was in pretty rough shape when I brought it to 1517, but luckily they gave me an editor who worked out all of those kinks, and now it's just like, it's gold.

I don't know if that's true at all.

I feel like it was pretty solid when I saw it.

But yeah, I'm really...

Really excited for people to read it.

As we get started, for those who maybe didn't catch your Sinner Saint interview, tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do.

Yeah, I would love to.

My name is Luke Chalhock.

I am the pastor here at Elam Lutheran Church in Osakis, Minnesota.

If you've never heard of Osakis, you're not alone because there are 1,800 people here.

Over the winter months, there's about 1,800 people here.

Over the summer, it explodes to, I mean, we're almost talking five figures.

All the lake people show up and everything.

But yeah, I've been here at Elam for going on my fifth year now.
