Love Letters From Home – Meg Glesener pt 1

Letters From Home – Meg Glesener pt 1

Having served in the military and in some isolated places, called “hardship tours” back in the day…with no internet (it wasn’t even invented back then), almost everyone “missed home.” Going to the mail room to see if there was a letter or package was almost a daily ritual. And when there was a letter or package there, it was a special day!

Today, with the use of the internet and live streaming, etc., soldiers do not usually have to wait for weeks to hear from loved ones. But they also have special difficulties of “not being there” as well. But instead of weeks after the event, they may dealing with the emotions almost as they happen.

Why am I talking about this? Because my guest today has a podcast that sparked that trip down memory lane. Meg Glesener is the host of a podcast called “Letters from Home.” She interviews other Christians that bring a real life faith story to you as they share their dreams, their failures, their struggles and their pain. They share their life changing encounters and some extraordinary moments as well. This podcast is one that will leave you encouraged and inspired to love our Lord on an even deeper level.

Meg lives in Washington State, a beautiful scenic place – I served at Fort Lewis, outside of Tacoma, Washington and absolutely loved it there. But, Meg lives near Seattle, has been married for over 32 years to Mike and is the mother of 8 children (God bless you…). She serves as a youth leader for 11th grade girls at her church. She was named in Podcast Magazines “Top 50 Mom’s In Podcasting” – Praise the Lord – and she also serves as one of the admins of the Christian Podcasters Association! Amen!

Help me welcome to the program, host of the “Letters from Home Podcast,” Meg Glesener.

Meg, thank you for taking the time to come on the program today!

First question, other than that brief information I just shared, tell us in your own words, “Who is Meg Glesener?”

Tell us how and why you decided to start a podcast?

And you just Googled, “How to start a podcast?” That is the same way I started back in 2009!

I want to dive a little deeper into the name “Letters from Home.” Why that name?

How did you decide upon the format for this podcast?

I see one of your interviews was with Sean McCoy. I’ve interviewed him before and it was awesome!

How has evangelism changed over the years?

How does podcasting fit into the new evangelism role you just described?

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
