This week on Pod Strangely Warmed, we take a deep dive into the ways United Methodist communities in the Horizon Texas Conference are embracing connectional ministry. Host Rev. Daniel Hawkins sits down with Rev. Benji Van Fleet and Rev. Todd Salzwedel to discuss the power of storytelling, fostering discipleship and the intersection of the five strategic priorities with local church leadership. From championing children and youth to launching new faith communities, this conversation celebrates how churches are shifting from a castle-building mindset to a kingdom-building mission. Tune in for some inspiration, insights and a little bit of competitive spirit!
