Familiar Stories. Fresh Angles.

A podcast where we revisit a story you learned in Sunday School and explore what we missed—context, characters, and grace hiding in plain sight.


What if Zacchaeus isn’t a story about a bad man who finally becomes good? In this episode of Sunday School Remix, Pastor Nate takes another look at Luke 19 and explores what changes when we pay attention to the details we may have missed in Sunday school. The story becomes less about fixing Zacchaeus and more about Jesus seeing someone the crowd had already labeled and written off.

About Pastor Nate

Pastor Nate Preisinger (or you can just call him Nate) earned his Bachelor’s Degree at St. Olaf College and received his Master of Divinity and a Certificate in Theological Education for Emerging Ministries at Wartburg Seminary. Since then, Nate has spent time as the mission developer of a young adult ministry in Buffalo, NY (Go Bills!), as the Director of Admissions at United Lutheran Seminary in Philadelphia (Yum Cheesesteaks!), and as the pastor of churches in Buffalo, Philadelphia, and now at Bethany Lutheran Church in Denver (Hooray Lutherans!).

Nate is married to Amanda and they have three children, Evelyn (14), Solomon (12), and Miriam (8). Together they have fun creating and playing board games, hiking around Colorado, and visiting the library. Additionally, Nate enjoys listening to music, running on the High Line Canal, reading multiple books simultaneously, practicing and teaching yoga, and watching or playing basketball.

This project was born out the encouragement of two friends (thanks Sarah and Mitchell!) and Nate’s love of helping people discover the ancient wisdom of scripture that we often overlook.
