Church is Changing: Episode 19 - Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth

In this episode of Church is Changing, host Beth Estock interviews Bishop Cedrick Bridgeforth, recently elected bishop in the Western Jurisdiction of the UMC and appointed to serve the Greater Northwest Area that includes the states of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. In this podcast we move from the complexities of 21st century living to the simplicity of the core of the Gospel with the idea that innovation begins as a metanoia. This change of perspective unfolds through attending to relationships both in and outside the walls of the church. In essence, Bishop Bridgeforth invites us to look through the lens of honoring the love languages of the people we meet as a way to partner with the unfolding of God’s preferred future.
