The Beautiful & Tragic Story of the UMC | Rev Tom Lambrecht & Garry Ingraham

In its beginning, The United Methodist Church was a vibrant and beautiful movement, following in the biblically-rooted traditions and teachings of John Wesley. However, like so many once Orthodox institutions, there developed many major theological issues within, some dating back many decades. Now, the UMC is going through a major schism, with the most public issues being human sexuality and identity. Thankfully, with the formation of The Global Methodist Church, faithful Methodists now have a fresh Orthodox movement to both gather within as well as launch from to fulfill the purposes of global evangelism and discipleship. In this episode, Rev. Tom Lambrecht and Garry Ingraham discuss the unique story of the UMC, as well as the critical importance for Christians (of all denominations) to stay rooted in the basic foundations of our faith.
