SEEK, the podcast of United Methodist Insight, published its first episode Oct. 27. The podcast was founded to provide interested listeners with interviews of noted church leaders on United Methodist issues and newsworthy topics.
Episode 1 features an interview with the Rev. Stephen Griffith, executive director of Nebraskans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. Nebraska's legislature has repealed capital punishment in their state, which is a focus of the national discussion on the death penalty underway.
Future topics will include the global nature of the United Methodist Church, proposals on restructuring the denomination worldwide, the spiritual state of the denomination and its effect on General Conference politics, how worship styles affect discipleship and issues of interest to local churches.
