Overcoming with Kenny von Folmar

In this episode, I had the honor of interviewing Bishop Kenny von Folmar who is the Presiding Bishop and Co-Founder of the Anthem Network. The Anthem Network is a faith family gathered from the many Christian Traditions that is striving to live out an expression of the Church that honors and balances the varied witnesses of our faith ancestors. The Anthem Network's vision is to see churches planted that are places of convergence for the Christian Tradition – reflecting a harmonious blend of the sacramental, evangelical and charismatic traditions. He has been the Lead Pastor of Solomon's Porch in Phoenix, Arizona for the past 5 years.

In the episode, we talk about several things including,

• His elevator speech. How he describes the Independent Sacramental Movement to someone who has no idea what it is.
• What is The Anthem Network? He describes what makes it unique.
• Some of the challenges he has encountered as a bishop within the Independent Sacramental Movement.
• His Ecumenical ties with local church bodies.
• And finally, his greatest blessing within ministry.
