0015 - The Weight - Adam Hamilton - "Innovation, Mission, and Reopening"

We are living in an unprecedented time. Churches are currently faced with difficult decisions over how and when to reopen their doors. How has COVID affected Christian worship? In this episode, Chris and Eddie are joined by Adam Hamilton. Hamilton is an author and a Senior Pastor at the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas. The Resurrection is one of the largest churches in Methodism. Hamilton discusses the frequent zoom calls with his staff, the opportunity to learn and connect with other pastors in the United States, and the unexpected rewards in the midst of having to remain at home. Listeners will learn what Church of the Resurrection is doing and how they will approach reopening. All three pastors Chris, Eddie, and Adam examine and consider the new form of ministry that focuses on online worship. Hamilton emphasizes the importance of holding onto the knowledge gained during this time and applying it to the future. Resources:• Jason Gray's song, “Order, Disorder, Reorder”https://open.spotify.com/track/4f6gwNw4W4k11LBvrJib9f?si=oA_ZNeuzRI-fq08uVET7Qg• Listen to other episodes:  https://www.theweightpodcast.com• The Weight on Instagram:  @theweight_pod• The Weight on Facebook:  @theweightpod• The Weight on Twitter:  @theweight_pod• Adam Hamilton on Instagram:  @revadamhamilton• Adam Hamilton on Twitter:  @revadamhamilton• Adam Hamilton on the web:  adamhamilton.org• Church of the Resurrection:  www.cor.org
