In Episode 002 of The United Methodist Podcast Dr. Brad Miller has a meaningful conversation with Rev. Dr. Roger Ross. Dr. Ross is the senior pastor the First United Methodist Church in Springfield, Illinois and author of the book “Meet the Good People: Wesley's 7 Ways to Share Faith.” Roger and Brad have known one another for some time, indeed they planted churches together on the exact same date in the mid-1990s. They are time talking in this interview about something close to their hearts - how can the United Methodist Church relate to people far from God but who are good people people but for one reason or another have not made a connection to God through a local church. In his new book “Meet The Good People: Wesley's 7 Ways to Share Faith.” Ross takes his study of the life and ministry of John Wesley and applies to the context of 21st century culture to come up with seven ways we can share our faith with the people Roger has termed Joe and Sally Good People. You'll enjoy this conversation about the book and will find it fruitful in your ministry context. Roger and Brad also have some conversation about General Conference and about something near and dear to both of their hearts - golf.
