Faith Revisited

Episode 21 - Lent 101

Welcome to the 21st episode of Faith Revisited! One of the main reasons we decided to do a podcast episode on Lent isn't just because it is released on Ash Wednesday BUT we started the conversation because Molly felt like her knowledge of Lent was stuck in Sunday school. We go through the basics of Lent, the who, what, where, when, and what you can do instead of giving up chocolate for 40 days. We hope you enjoy this podcast episode, you can allow it to be a refresher course on Lent and learn all about Ben's sermon series this season. Thanks for listening!

Episode 19 - What Is Success?

Episode 12 - A Conversation with Rev Adam Hamilton

We loved being able to sit down with Rev Adam Hamilton of Church of the Resurrection in Kansas City. Rev Hamilton talks about his jump into the United Methodist denomination after reading the Book of Discipline and why he felt like he didn't fit in elsewhere. His passion for Kansas City and desire to start a church for "thinking people" that in 30 years and over 25k active members, transforms their community and impacts the world. He explains his feelings regarding the current state of the United Methodist denomination and why he is still passionate about the DNA. We talk morning routines (find how much time he spends in prayer each morning), amazing ministries happening at Church of the Resurrection and how we all need to pay more attention to the nudges of the Holy Spirit.
