A Day with Hymnwriter Stephen Starke

The Coffee Hour from KFUO Radio

What makes a hymn a hymn? Dr. John Behnke (Organist at Trinity Lutheran Church of Southwest Florida, Composer, and Professor Emeritus of Concordia University Wisconsin) and Rev. Stephen Starke (published hymnwriter and retired Pastor of St. John Amelith Lutheran Church in Bay City, MI) join Andy and Sarah to talk about the upcoming "A Day with Hymnwriter, Rev. Stephen Starke" happening on January 24, 2025 at Trinity Lutheran Church of Southwest Florida in Port Charlotte, Florida. Hear a conversation about what makes a hymn different from other types of music we sing, what makes a hymn a good hymn, how hymns from hundreds of years ago are still relevant today, and how hymns create community among God’s people.
