S5:Ep7 Mid-Summer Reflections: Church Leadership, Personal Milestones, and Methodist Updates

Welcome to this week's episode of the Faith Revisited podcast with Ben and Molly! As we check in midway through the summer, we discuss the scorching heat, personal updates, and what's happening in our church community.

Ben dives into the recent changes within the United Methodist Church, particularly focusing on jurisdictional conferences and the election of new bishops. We explore how these changes affect our local conference in Georgia and the exciting appointment of a new bishop (to us)!

On a more personal note, Ben shares his thrilling news about his upcoming book publication. He provides insights into the book's themes, which revolve around broader notions of recovery and practical advice for living a balanced life.

As the summer winds down and we prepare for the new school year, we reflect on the importance of centering ourselves amidst the chaos. Ben concludes the episode with a beautiful poem by Howard Thurman, reminding us to find peace and purpose in the still moments of our lives.
