UMPP.037: Rev. Michael Mather-Author of “Having Nothing, Possessing Everything: Finding Abundant Communities in Unexpected Places”

Rev. Mike Mather is Rev. Dr. Brad Millers guest on Episode 037 of The United Methodist People Podcast.   

 

Mike is the Senior Pastor of First United Methodist Church in Boulder, Colorado after serving 17 years in the inner city of Indianapolis at Broadway United Methodist Church.   He is the author of ““Having Nothing,  Possessing Everything: Finding Abundant Communities in Unexpected Places” which chronicles much about his ministry at Broadway.

 

In this deep conversation Mike reveals many of the transformative aspects of urban ministry which he describes as ministry on the edge of a knife.

 

The focus of the conversation was around recognizing the dignity of the ministry of all persons in and around the local church and not depending on corporate programs to do ministry.   

 

Mike and Brad share many stories of ministry and the people which you will find engaging on Episode 037 of the United Methodist People Podcast.
