Storyboard: Faith Witness Transformation is a podcast highlighting ministries across the East Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church that are transforming lives locally, nationally, and globally. Produced twice-a-month by EOC Communications, each podcast episode focuses on one of the core values of the #BeUMC campaign: Disciple Making; Belonging & Inclusion; Influence, Connection & Impact; and Experience of God through The United Methodist Church.

Episode 85 “Belonging & Inclusion: Fresh Church” features Rev. Hannah Weisbrod, Terri Rodriguez and Rev. Jon Morgan sharing a conversation about how church exists outside the walls of the traditional building and the role the Office of Fresh Starts & New Beginnings plays in aiding such ministries.

“We find ourselves doing a lot that we have never encountered before so, we know now how to work with lawyers about non-profit structure, insurance and fundraising, donor relationships. Just all those sorts of things that you learn on the fly when you’re doing it that you might not have encountered in previous local church ministry,” said Weisbrod.

“It seems like every week or every other week we hear a similar testimony of people who find themselves, who find God, who understand that God loves them for who they’re created to be. And I think that’s what makes Hope Collective really special,” Morgan shared.
