Kaleb Koutz and Ethan Flannery
The House Podcast is the official Podcast of the Calvary Chapel Brandon youth group. In observing the draw to the negative digital content that is abundantly available to the youth of today, Youth Pastor Kaleb Koutz, and fellow youth leader Ethan Flannery, host each episode, attempting to offer positive wholesome content from a Christian worldview. Their hope is that this content will bring joy to those who listen as they seek to honor God in conversation without taking themselves too seriously, yet also stir minds as God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.
