In March of 1992, a vicious murder in one of Fort Worth's richest neighborhoods shook the community. Businessman and former banker Jack Koslow, along with his wife, former banker and patron of the arts Caren Koslow, were viciously attacked in their home in the middle of the night.

The Only Retirement Account that is Triple #Tax Advantaged! A health savings account, or #HSA, has a unique triple #tax benefit. Your contributions reduce your taxable income, any investment growth within the account is tax-free, and qualified withdrawals are tax-free! As Peter with Richon Planning explains to Erin Kennedy, if you have a High Deductible Health Plan, or #HDHP, it's often worth taking advantage of the HSA. Peter breaks down how to use the money in your account to pay medical bills and how to utilize it as an investment tool as well. He also breaks down common mistakes when creating and investing HSAs. As you work to determine which health plan is right for you and your family in 2023, Peter would be happy to help you determine if a HDHP makes sense for your unique financial goals and priorities.

What makes a person a saint? I dare say most of us disqualify ourselves from that status, yet all the people we recognized in this service this morning would probably have been equally uncomfortable with such a title. But the qualities of genuine sainthood are not perfection, self-righteousness, superb biblical or theological knowledge. It is the way the love of God is reflected in our living.

Because Jesus was in the form of God, he became a servant. What's my point? Serving is God's nature. And Paul says it is our nature too. We are made to be compassionate, caring, and giving. We are most alive when we find a way to make a positive difference in the world. Parker Palmer reminds us that the word vocation comes from the Latin word for “listen.” We find our vocation, our calling in life, when we listen to who God made us to be, and we allow our lives to be used to bless others.   See sermon notes and more at stlukesumc.com/sermons Subscribe to receive our latest messages: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2n...

We begin today a stewardship series, which often in church translates into raising money, which is an unfortunate mischaracterization. Steward is one of the most important words in the Bible that describes our primary identity as human beings. The word steward means manager. God calls us to manage all that God gives us.   We see this in the first chapter of the Bible…“So God created human beings…blessed them, and said, “Have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth and bring it under their control. I am putting you in charge…” (Genesis 1:27-28 GNT) This doesn't mean we can run the earth the way we want. It means we are given the responsibility to manage creation the way God wants. We are called to steward everything God gives us.   But here's the paradox about stewardship. You don't have to be a person of faith to be a steward. Regardless of our faith or lack of faith in God, we all have resources in life to manage. We have our bodies, our souls, our minds, our relationships, our possessions, our potential, and more. Whatever we think about God, we are managing what we have. We make decisions everyday about the way we want to manage and use what we are given in this life. And the way we manage our resources says everything about what we value and believe about life.   See sermon notes and more at stlukesumc.com/sermons Subscribe to receive our latest messages: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2n...

Tim Reichert, Co-Owner/Head Brewer at Fainting Goat Brewing Company, joined the 919 Beer Podcast to discuss their growth into Benson and why the community brewery is still as important as ever.

Kindness in the Bible is the most important description of the character of God. The word for kindness in the Old Testament is Hesed. It is a multifaceted word with many ways it can be defined, but the most frequent is kindness. That is the basic meaning of hesed. But hesed is not just an emotion. It is not describing a feeling, but action on behalf of someone in need. What does the Lord require of us? Action on behalf of people in need. Our willingness to practice hesed, to show people the kindness of God, could be the greatest hope for our world right now. “You always have to be optimistic that people can change, and that you can change, and that one act of kindness may make all the difference in the world.” (Good News Magazine, “Bright Light in Montgomery” Sept-Oct 2021, p20)   See sermon notes and more at https://stlukesumc.com/sermons Subscribe to receive our latest messages: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2n...

For this month of July we are looking at psalms. If you didn't get one last week we have a note card that gives helpful background on the Book of Psalms. There are 150 psalms that came together over 6 centuries. They were written by kings like David as well as other known and unknown composers. The psalms are like a hymn book. They describe the honest feelings and emotions of the writers and show us that we can do the same. We can share with God whatever is going on inside of us—even feelings of anger and revenge. Today we consider the most popular category of the psalms comprising one-third of all psalms, Lament. And out of these 50 psalms of lament we consider Psalm 22. This is what makes Psalm 22, and Jesus use of it on the cross, an important tool for us because it teaches us that Why is an okay question to ask God. Why is the most frequently occurring question in the psalms. It indicates something is wrong and does not make sense. And we are searching for understanding and taking our search to God. Asking God why does not show a lack of faith. It is an expression of faith. It shows a faith that believes God can do something about our pain. And in bringing our real honest emotions and questions to God we find how God can help us. Often our greatest need is not a reason why. It is a comforting hand. And, there are times when our praise is not because of what God got us through, but because we refuse to give up believing God will get us through.

2022 has started off with market volatility and losses. Market volatility is not unusual. In fact, investors must expect volatility as part of their investment experience. 2022 however, is off to a bit of a rocky start, and investment losses have some reasonably concerned. Listen to this week's edition of #PlanningMattersRadio and @PeterRichon discusses the causes of volatility and how having a sound plan in place can help us determine and control risk exposure and identify opportunities, even in challenging markets.

We have seen some recent instability in the markets. It has invoked a lot of emotion from some investors. Just because we see market volatility or believe it may be coming does not mean we should stop our financial progress or put off goals out of fear. Fear is not a stop sign. Caution is always prudent, but fear should never determine the steps in your financial progress. Listen this week as Peter Richon and Daniel Diggs talk about the facts and the fiction of the market.

In Episode 58 of The United Methodist People Podcast Rev. Dr. Brad Miller talks with Rev. Rob Fuquay of St. Luke's UMC-Indianapolis about his new book and Lenten resource "The Passion Play-Living the Story of Christ's Last Days" which is inspired by the Oberammergau Passionsspiele. Jesus' Passion Story is presented each Lent in countless churches each year. But one play presented by the inhabitants of the village of Oberammergau, in Bavaria Germany, may be one of the longest-running performances of all. Staged every 10 years since 1634. To play makes an impact not only on the villagers who portray the characters and all who see it as well. And the passion play Rob Fuquay follows the biblical story of the passion and shows how this amazing play as we use both as a ritual of praise and later as a weapon through that's anti-semitic past. Brad and Rob talk about the book at length in this interview including its relevance in today's world of pandemics and anxiousness. The United Methodist People Podcast is produced by Rev. Dr. Brad Miller a retired UMC Elder with a heart for "doing all the good I can; particularly in anxious times."

This second episode of the season tells the story of the tobacco industry in Fuquay-Varina, a now booming suburb south of Raleigh. This story is told through the lenses of Morgan Johnson, a former intern at the State Archives and Fuquay native, and Fred Wagstaff, a 94-year-old from Fuquay who worked in the local tobacco fields and markets his whole life. An oral history interview conducted with Wagstaff recounts the entire history of the leaf that made Fuquay a "busy, bustling town," from his relatives who moved to the area in the early 1900s to escape the notorious Granville Wilt tobacco disease, to his own time as a ticket marker in the town's tobacco markets until their closure in the 1990s and early 2000s. The history of tobacco in Fuquay is a compelling reminder of the agricultural legacy in North Carolina's rural communities and the power of telling everyday stories through oral history.

Keith: [00:00:20] So we were talking about last week, the importance of shopping local. I think it's extremely important. It was a good conversation. We finished up last week about creating community it's a mental game-changer, it's a social experience when you know that the person that you've dealt with last week you feel comfortable with them.[00:00:54] They're a friend of yours. One thing that always blows my mind and always makes me feel really good is when I see people that haven't seen their friends run into each other in our garden center oh my God, I haven't seen you in a year. And then they stand there and I'll, I'll jokingly say, Is it in place just to catch up, however, we're supposed to be buying plants or whatever, it really, that's the best compliment in the world when two like-minded people or two people that go to church together, two people that, they went to school together, run into each other in our in, at garden supply company.[00:01:28]Or if I go out and I'm at Logan's trading. And I run into one of my customers. And it's funny because I'll be at Logan's trading and run into a customer and they're like I don't shop here that often. And I'm like, oh, I do. They're embarrassed almost that they're not shopping at  The Garden Supply Company.[00:01:43] And I'm like, oh my God, it's a phenomenal place. It's where I go when I need a break from Garden supply company. And I want a garden I'll run down to Logan's and wander around and have the same experience that my customers have when they come to us. And then I'll eat lunch at the cafe. It's a really relaxing, real-life small business experience.[00:02:06]I talked about in the last episode, stopping in the Garden Hut. I got down there and I had tomatoes. I was in between fresh tomatoes and tomatoes are like a religion to me. I can't wait for that first homegrown garden, fresh tomato, or a farmer's market tomato.[00:02:22]And I stopped in the Garden Hut and Nelsa grows all these crazy tomatoes and she grows them in her parking lot. She's got a farm, she grows them on. So people come to her for fresh tomatoes and the spring and in the summertime.  I picked up a couple of tomatoes and, that whole experience of just being there and being in a local business and picking up something that's fresh.[00:02:42] And it's I know where it was grown and I know Nelsa didn't spray toxic chemicals on it.  That feeling is amazing. And then supporting your friends and businesses. Is a key. We had talked about the local spending with respect to the fact that when you spend locally at all stays, the bulk of it stays in the community.[00:03:00]Very few of our checks go out of state. And a lot of them are as close as possible.  The nursery industry as a whole it's mind-boggling. You can go to another local garden center and ask them how they do something. How do you market, or how do you do this?[00:03:14]And they're totally sharing with information. Our industries It's an anomaly. It just it's like family. We get to a trade show and you're getting back together with all your friends and people you've known for years. And wholesale growers that we deal with I've been dealing with for 25 years.[00:03:29]The same people Landis halls, Carol plant center. He owns the farm several farms and he delivers. The plants on his truck himself, on a regular basis. And every time I see him, it's like seeing an old friend. We started growing plants and when I asked him, how do you do this?[00:03:45] Or how do you do that? he's forthcoming with that information and just shares how I can compete for, growing plants that he's selling to me, but we're still trying to buy as many plants as we can from him, because it's important to us, to maintain those relationships and[00:04:01]these people are friends. That is your community. The people that you call when you need something and boom, they're there, they can deliver it. Yeah. Yeah. I think [00:04:08] Joe: [00:04:08] you hear so much focus on community as if it's something that's more difficult than it is.[00:04:13]If only we could build community, we live in one.,[00:04:16] Keith: [00:04:16] yeah, it's not hard to do,  but if you walk into a large box store, you can make a connection there and you can build community. It's probably not likely that the community's going to stay there for you, but when you're dealing with a smaller business, the owners there. I've got Chip Ford that has worked for me on an ongoing basis. He pretty much manages me. He's been there 24 years. I've been there 25, Steven that's been there for, 15 years.[00:04:42] Katie, runs the whole thing for me. She's been there almost 20 years.  We've built a community within our business people will ask me, like how long do you think you're going to work?[00:04:51] Or when do you think you're going to retire? And I'm like I don't know that I'll ever retire completely because in the springtime when my customers are coming in. I'm getting excited because it's getting busier and sales or sales are moving along. The biggest thing is, I get to see my Fairweather friends.[00:05:06]None of my friends come out in the wintertime. It's the wildest thing, so I really truly have fair-weather friends April pops up and all my friends go out to see me, they want advice. We catch up on what they've been doing or what they're, what's happening with their family or their kids. I get to watch customers come in whose kids[00:05:22]we're riding, when we had pony rides, they'll bring a picture of them on a pony and they're applying for a job and they're 20 years old or they're 16 years old. And the community of high school kids that we've had over the years, we've taken kids from absolutely useless with no work experience whatsoever to some really good aerospace engineers.[00:05:43]I'm not saying I taught them anything about aerospace engineering, but I taught them how to work and gave him work ethic,  that's a wholly separate piece of it. All these young people that kinda, that kind of move through and that, that grow up in our local community when somebody spends money at our store,  the average is about $27.[00:06:01] That, that leaves the community. When you spend money at a large box store $57 leaves the community. You're talking about a drastic difference in as far as jobs go  52% of the jobs in America are small local businesses, which is kinda mind-blowing.[00:06:19] When you think about how many box stores are out there. So that's the value scenario. There's [00:06:24] Joe: [00:06:24] local owned businesses are not the ones that are doing the bare minimum when it comes to paying their employees are just barely hitting minimum [00:06:31] Keith: [00:06:31] wage. Exactly. They're paying better wages, but they also employ a lot more people, [00:06:35] Joe: [00:06:35] crazy stat you were just talking about.[00:06:37] So if you spend money locally on you spend a hundred dollars at a locally-owned place, $32 is going to leave the community, but 68 is going to stay. But if you spend it at a non locally owned, Plays $43 is going to stay in the community and $57 is [00:06:53] Keith: [00:06:53] going to leave. Exactly. We've got 60 to 75 employees, that in that range.[00:06:58] And when we pay them,  they're turning around and spending the money in the community. Like a larger box store, like a Lowe's for instance, which is, I can still consider that a local company but Lowe's home improvement probably has close to the same number of people on staff, in a given day.[00:07:15] And they're doing 10 times the sales. So, that money's leaving the community for sure, a lot of the product comes from outside of the area. [00:07:23] Joe: [00:07:23] This reduces climate impact because it's not it's a ton of shipping or even packaging, just all the things that go into not having to get it from the other side of the country to here to buy it.[00:07:34]Keith: [00:07:34] Exactly. So when we buy Japanese Maples and conifers, a lot of our Japanese Maples and conifers come from Oregon it's the one small category that we get from way outside of the state. The shipping cost used to be 15%. It's now 30, 35%. So that's an additional cost that the consumer pays.[00:07:53]It's still a value because it's a better product in Oregon or Washington, it's a zone seven kind of area but we're paying. 35% to ship it here. And then you've got all those emissions. You've got all, all the other additional things that go along.[00:08:10] Joe: [00:08:10] And I often find let's talk about Sam's club. You buy way more than you need. He ended up wasting a bunch of it. Cause you feel like you got a good deal. Exactly. But when you buy, as you go to the farmer's market, you don't feel like you got to buy 47 bushels, [00:08:22] Keith: [00:08:22] big salaries, I've got 40 pounds of cereal.[00:08:24] If you want any. It's a few months old and we [00:08:27] Joe: [00:08:27] buy food for ourselves. Like we buy it for a dog, yeah. A hundred-pound bags of frosted [00:08:31] Keith: [00:08:31] flakes. That's what I need.  For sure.  Yesterday I was in a place.  That the restaurants run so well that I asked him I had heard that it was a local owner and I thought it's a local owner, but it must be a chain restaurant, it's just run so well, the bartender there was amazing. The service is unbelievable. The quality of the food is unbelievable. And it's reasonably priced. The atmosphere is amazing, the whole experience and that's what you get out of a small local business.[00:08:59] So I asked the manager, is this a chain or is this something that's individually owned? And. And they said, no, this is individually owned. It was a person in Fuquay that had a business that partnered with somebody else and opened up the first one and apex and a scratch kitchen.[00:09:14]They're putting one in Carey, they're putting one in Cary. So I've got one to the right of man to the left of me. It's going to be impossible, not to have a good bloody Mary. And if you haven't had a good bloody mary, a scratch kitchen, go there and have them. They're extremely expensive.[00:09:30]And they're the best value bloody Mary you'll ever eat. It's topped with almost a meal before you get to the bloody Mary tempura fried shrimp, olives, bacon, and it goes on and on. The first time I went there the bloody Mary was $12 and my mail was 11. And it was literally the best valued bloody Mary that I've ever had.[00:09:50]People get so focused on price sometimes. I mean that they spend more money than they need to.[00:09:57] With plants it's extremely important that you get the advice and you get a good quality plant for one, one that's locally grown and that sourced locally. But you get the experience, you come in and it's a great environment.[00:10:10] And then you get the experience of the staff to get you the right plan for the right place because you can buy all the plants in the world. If you buy shady plants and put them in too much on or sunny plants and put them in too much shade or wet plants that need to be in a dry location, It doesn't matter if they were 50% off it, you are going to lose a lot of time and it's not going to be a fun, gardening experience for you.[00:10:32] And I think that same thing just goes across the board. You go buy a flower arrangement from somebody besides John at the Flower Cupboard. And all of a sudden, your flowers are wilting a week later and you're like,  cut flowers really aren't that, that great a deal.[00:10:47]You paid $20 for the arrangement. It lasted a week. Yeah. Paid 40 and it lasts three weeks. I'll take the $40 range, and I just, I think you got to buy from people that really know their trade that know their product.  You find the company or an individual tradesman that knows what he's doing. And it's a little bit more, and he has the time to get the job done. And he's got the experience bidding the job and the experience putting it down.[00:11:11] And it's a great scenario. And you get to know these people and they are your community. To me, it's a game-changer and I try to spend money locally. Anytime I can. 

Paul writes and says, “We appeal to you, brothers and sisters, to respect those who labor among you, and have charge of you in the Lord and admonish you; esteem them very highly in love because of their work.” Now, it sounds like some simple, off the cuff advice from Paul to people not responding well to criticism, but if you think about this topic and start to tease out the depths of the idea you realize this is a matter that has application for every area of our lives and can determine the level of our success and satisfaction. So let's consider the importance of learning to handle criticism well. I've organized these around three R's. The first stands for Receive. Receive Criticism Non-defensively. We all need helpful criticism to be better and we all need people who can be tough with us if we're going to stay sharp.  Respond Rather than React to Criticism. When we respond, when we listen, ask questions, show appreciation and answer calmly, we give opportunity for something productive to occur. Realize More Is Usually at Stake than a Single Relationship. When we handle criticism in a way that leads to breakthrough, growth, respect, you can count on the fact that more people will benefit than just us and our critics.   See sermon notes and more at https://stlukesumc.com/sermons.     Subscribe to receive our latest messages: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2noPhgDOhmto8RUWahIww?sub_confirmation=1     To support St. Luke's United Methodist Church in our mission to be an open, antiracist, justice-seeking church, visit https://stlukesumc.com/give.    We are an open community of Christians helping people find and give hope through Jesus Christ - regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, or socioeconomic background.      ——  STAY CONNECTED  Website: https://stlukesumc.com  St. Luke's UMC Facebook: https://facebook.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Instagram: https://instagram.com/stlukesindy   St. Luke's UMC Twitter: https://twitter.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC YouTube: https://youtube.com/stlukesindy  St. Luke's UMC Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/stlukesindy 

Keith: [00:00:20] Good morning, Keith Ramsey with garden supply company. Today,  we were going to talk a little bit about buying local and all the benefits of buying local. People always talk about the financial benefits or the environmental benefits, to me, one of the most important benefits is the relationship that you have, to be able to walk into a podcast facility that's[00:00:55]owned by a local individual and that makes a difference in the community. Seeing somebody that, on a regular basis and most of the business that I do, I try to do that way. And it's not based on, financial benefit but it just feels good.[00:01:08] It's a smaller scenario. The service is always higher. Yeah, service is something that Over the last few years I think is, has just about been eliminated for most businesses. [00:01:19] Joe: [00:01:19] It seems like if you're cutting corners, it doesn't seem to be the logical one to cut, but it feels like from the chain stores, it is one of the things on the list that seems to go down in quality for sure.[00:01:29] And it could just be that it's harder to manage. I'm sure they're not purposely neglecting it, but [00:01:33] Keith: [00:01:33] still I don't know. It's years ago somebody told me there's a there are three things on a triangle. There's price, there's quality, and their service any great business can probably provide two of those pretty well.[00:01:45]You have to pick two, you got to pick two, you either have to reduce the quality. The reduce the service or reduce or increase the price. So there's a balance there, and sometimes you pay a little bit more with our business in particular. The thing that I find about service is that the service is what creates the value,  it's a science-based business and it's heavy and science and design.[00:02:07]I've got to have be pretty creative, I've got to be able to put together textures and colors and different things like that. And then I got to have the science to know that, that something's going to grow in wet or dry or sun or shade. I'm providing that customer with all that information for them to be successful.[00:02:21]That just creates a ton of value. I expect the same thing out of bond brothers. When I go down to bond brothers, I've been to a lot of local breweries where the beer isn't really necessarily that great. They're trying their best, but they haven't perfected it.[00:02:35]When I walk in there, the atmosphere is amazing. I see people that I know that are local in the community. And I know that, that it's individually owned and, and so partner and, It wouldn't have the same [00:02:46] Joe: [00:02:46] vibe if you were going down to the Miller Lite brewery.[00:02:49] Keith: [00:02:49] Yeah. And so you're, people that are from the community, the guys at bond brothers are all plant people. We do a lot of partnering with them.  We just partnered with them on a living wall and their new location on Chatham street.  I know they like plants, they know I like beer. It's a good partnership.[00:03:04] Joe: [00:03:04] It creates character in your neighborhood, as well as like you were saying, everybody like the rising tide floats all boats. If absoluteness for everybody, when you've got local business owners that are interested in what each other are doing and find ways to work together.[00:03:16] Keith: [00:03:16]  Sure. Flower, cupboards small company that I've done business with for 25 years. John, when I go in there, he's going to have the best flowers that you can source, they're not aged out. They weren't cheap. They're going to be a little bit more expensive.[00:03:31]But they last three times as long as anything else that I buy. It's a better value, he knows his trade. I grew up in a florist and. My mom had a florist. And to me, it going into a small florist means something me, but the quality and the value that, that I get out of John's flowers are pretty amazing.[00:03:46]Joe: [00:03:46] When I go to a small business where they're passionate about what they do and you're dealing sometimes with the owner or somebody that the owner is training to be passionate about something that they're passionate about. You feel like you matter more? Absolutely.  They really want to help you solve your problem.[00:04:02] That's the, sometimes when you're in a larger maybe box store type of scenario, they're trying to, yeah. They're trying to either just get done with their job. And they don't really care if you solve your problem because they're not really incentivized to or passionate about helping you [00:04:18] Keith: [00:04:18] solve your problem.[00:04:18] When you talk about the box stores, I'll watch Lowe's, which is a local company. [00:04:22] Joe: [00:04:22] Lowe's the home improvement, not the food store. [00:04:25] Keith: [00:04:25] Yep. It Lowe's home improvements. So local store, so yeah. They're a local North Carolina big box store.[00:04:30]I've watched them over the years. Perfect. The garden industry, which is pretty interesting. They've slimmed it down, dumbed it down and they do a really good job with a mixed pot or hanging basket, a throwaway plant. They charge more for it than you actually would think it's, but it's nice.[00:04:45] It's in a, it's in a shiny pot. And they figured out a little niche that works for them. But when it comes to selecting plants if you went in there and ask somebody for advice on a plant, you're probably going to fail. They just, they weren't able to do that.[00:04:57] They were never able to do that. And so they figured out a different scenario that works for them. But you're not going to get the advice. You're not going to get that enthusiastic person that knows plants. And that really wants to point you in the right direction.[00:05:09]We partner with a couple of garden centers that are in the area garden hut, Nelsa's in Fuquay. When you, when I walk into Nelsa's place, I can always find something that I like and I own a garden center. Last year I was in there and they had fresh homegrown tomatoes and I left with tomatoes in a plant that I didn't have.[00:05:28]But you can expect that kind of thing. Logan's trading is another one, downtown Raleigh very similar to our business. But totally different in a lot of ways, and a lot of our customers shop all three of those places. Yeah. And [00:05:39] Joe: [00:05:39] even when investing in garden supplies from what might be your competition, at least you feel like your money is going into the local economy.[00:05:47] Absolutely. Whereas when you're going to a box store, it's not helping your city. [00:05:51] Keith: [00:05:51] No, not at all. [00:05:52] Joe: [00:05:52] So it's and they pay some employees and that's great for. Local [00:05:56] Keith: [00:05:56] stuff, but right. So when a target comes to an area they won't come until basically, our tax base pays for their building.[00:06:03]They won't put a building up until it's free. So they get enough tax, incentives to get that started that their building is paid for. And we sure as heck didn't get that, we've paid our way all the way through.[00:06:13]I think there's enough to be said about buying local, that we ought to do a second episode on this next week. So come back and check out that episode.

Join the guys they talk to one of their good friends, owner and operator of Bear Hands Metal Fabrication, Kevin Fuquay. They enjoyed getting to know a little bit about the ins and outs of the business and how he got to where he is. As always, they had a few brews and played a few games.

The murder of George Floyd in May 2020 stunned United Methodist people everywhere including the members of St. Luke's United Methodist Church in Indianapolis. Many members called for a response from the church and Senior Pastor Fuquay and Associate Pastor Nicole Caldwell-Gross responded by developing a message series and other resources on understanding biblical justice as a starting point to respond to institutional racism. These resources included a website www.antiracistindy.com which contains blog posts and resources targeted toward eliminating racism. Indiana Area Bishop Julius Trimble joins Rev. Dr. Brad Miller in a conversation with these two pastors about what led to the creation of the sermons series and resources and the greater vision they have to serve church leaders to respond to institutional racism in their churches and communities. The emphasis of the messages and resources are particularly targeted toward seeking greater understanding scriptural references on justice and the meaningfulness of biblical justice as a starting point in responding to institutional racism in comparison to cultural or societal starting points to justice. Episode 39 of The United Methodist People Podcast can be a great resource to pastors and church leaders looking to respond to racism and matters of injustice in their communities and congregations with a starting point of the Bible as a starting point. The mission of United Methodist People Podcast with Reverend Dr. Brad Miller is to strengthen the connection in the United Methodist Church through conversation and commentary in order to fulfill our churches mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Dan Gangler.   In Episode 21 of the United Methodist People Podcast Rev. Dr. Brad Miller leads a round table conversation about the video resource “Faith and Inclusive-The Bible, Sexuality and The United Methodist Church” with author, presenter Rev. Rob Fuquay, producer Susan Wilke Fuquay and hall of fame UMC communicator Rev. Dr. Dan Gangler.   Rev. Rob Fuquay is the Senior Pastor of St Luke’s United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, one of the UMC’s largest churches, and is the author of a number of books and small group resources including “The God We Can Know,” and “Which Way, Lord.”      Susan Wilke Fuquay is a United Methodist Christian Educator. For more than 25 years, Susan has been directly involved with Disciple Bible Study. She co-edited the youth version of Disciple.

You might have seen the pictures and thought the flipped home looked amazing--but what should you be looking out for when buying a flipped home? Angie Cole and her team also talk about good communication, tiny houses on Amazon, and home improvement on today's podcast.   For the full show notes, visit https://www.acolerealty.com/blog/buying-a-flipped-home/ Featured Foundations: 0:39 Did You See This: Amazon House You can now buy a tiny house on Amazon. Easily assembled apparently but no installation or plumbing. This might not be the house you want to live in. There are some things you don't buy from Amazon, and a house might be one of them.  4:58 What Should a Buyer Look for in a Flipped House? Make sure the person who flipped the house is a licensed contractor. Any person who has been doing this for a while will have warranty information, receipts, and product information. Anything that has been changed as far as electrical, plumbing, structural changes, or even an HVAC system needs a permit pulled and closed out.   9:11 Buying Blitz: Communication What kind of communication should a buyer expect with their Realtor? Open and honest is best, and the Realtor might let you know if it is not a good choice for you. Expectations should be set from the beginning about calls, texts, and emails.  11:25 Closing Recap: New Home in Fuquay  James and Carla, who met Angie through the radio show, just bought a home in Fuquay-Varina and sold their home in Garner. The sale of their home went quickly, and their new home is a beautiful custom-built home.  16:04 Mailbag: Home Improvements Drew in Fuquay just purchased his first home and would like to do some renovation work. Is it a bad thing to make a bunch of changes? Be careful when it comes to over-improving your home. You do not want to be the nicest, most expensive home on the block because you typically won't get all of that money back out of it. But if you are going to be there for a while, enjoy your home and have fun with the changes you want. You need to make it your own, so if you enjoy making improvements then go for it.  Get In Touch: Find out the value of your home! Click Here! Get answers questions on home inspections. Click Here!

I'm Walter Storholt, alongside Angie Cole, the owner and broker in charge of a Cole realty serving. You. Threw out the triangle, teaching you about the ins and outs when it comes to buying or selling a home. You can find the team online by going to eight Cole realty.com. That's a c o l e t.com. Or by calling (919) 578-3128 that's (919) 578-3128 and now it's time for one of the top realtors in the triangle, Angie Cole and the savvy real tour podcast. Before we move further on into the program, every once in a while we'd like to have this little segment called, did you see this where we talk about something kind of bizarre, interesting in the real estate world and Angie, did you know that you can buy a house on Amazon? Now? I did. You can buy anything and everything on Amazon these days. Walter:                This certainly checks another box on the list, right? I mean, it's, it's pretty wild. Um, the, the link that I came across here, we'll talk about that one in particular, but it did say under recommended viewing there, there are multiple, you know, different kinds of homes for sale it looks like. But in particular this one though I came across, this is a, uh, w what are they called, mini homes or what's the small houses? Tiny homes. Tiny, tiny house. But I, I feel like we were actually watching that a show yesterday evening, but I feel like this is even a, a step down from a tiny house, right, because you're, you're missing a lot of the features that a tiny home even has. Cause a tiny home really is like more like an art. They're usually transportable right there. A little bit more like the traditional tiny home concept is you can pick it up, move it around. Walter:                It's uh, it's, it's kind of like an Rv, but even more luxurious than a traditional, like our RV. Is that sort of the tiny home? Sure. Yeah. Not, not all tiny homes or you know, transportable and on the go, but most I would say they are, they made them that way. Um, but you know, they typically have a bathroom, a kitchen, electricity, you know, kind of all of the essentials of living in a home. Um, but this, uh, this house on Amazon's a tad bit different. Yeah. So a couple of details. It's a a 172 square feet, but here's the thing, and the reviews are pretty bad. There are three customer reviews now this is preached total of three, three, three, and they're all one star reviews, which is not good. Um, this is a kind of pitched as a very easy to assemble, like in just a couple of hours. Walter:                You've got a quote unquote house built. But here's the funny thing is people reviewing it. So like, well, a couple of problems. There's no kitchen, there's no bathroom, there's no insulation. They and there's no wiring. Hmm. But it's kind of what you do get the free shipping. This home, you do get the state, the free shipping from Amazon. So, yeah, I guess that's a minute. Yeah, I read, I read it takes a, and even puts in quotations simple tools at two takes only two people to construct this and you know, just using simple tools, just eight hours Angie Cole:         thanks to the step by step directions. Gosh, I mean I, what do you do with this? Walter:                Dang. I don't know. It's pretty uh, pretty interesting to look at though. It's really to me seems just more like a souped up garden shed. Angie Cole:         Yeah. And it's kind of cute, but I mean, once again, I don't know, it seems like if it was a warm day and get really steamy and hot in there closed area. Walter:                Yeah. So I don't know, maybe it's, maybe you could find some other purposes for that building, but you seem almost like you'd be benefited by just having a simple, you know, outdoor shed or something like that. I agree. I agree. Pretty interesting to see though that the tiny homes have made it to Amazon and maybe there are better ones. If we were to look around a little bit, maybe there are better kits out there that you can buy to build these things, but there's one that's like a two story kit that you can buy a and that one gets three stars. So this one gets three rule, three reviews that are all five stars. Wow. Maybe that was a little better. That one's 1300 square feet as I'm clicking around here. So it looks like a legitimate two story house. I just don't know about buying a kit and building a home from a kid just doesn't seem right. Does it? Angie Cole:         Right. Yeah. Now this, there's some things you don't buy from Amazon and this might be one, right? Walter:                A house might be one of those. That's a good point. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, I thought that was kind of funny to look at, by the way, to $7,000 for that first one we were talking about. So I think you could buy some really nice, just good old sheds for that amount of money. For sure. Uh, let's talk about flipping homes on today's show with Angie. You know, you talked about the tiny home show that you were just watching, uh, homeless, uh, shows like flip and flop are still really popular these days. And you know, you might be hearing or seeing a lot more commercials about house flipping seminars in the area or even the, um, you know, you'll see the road signs all the time and we're not going to get into the flippers perspective on this show, but we really want to talk about what it would look like as a buyer if you are buying a home that has been flipped and we just want to spend a couple of time, a couple of minutes talking about that. So what's kind of the first thing that we might want to be thinking about Angie, if you're kind of giving somebody tips, if you've got a buyer who's considering a home and it looks like one that has had a quick turnaround and has been flipped, that's all great. Good. That now it looks really fancy and pretty, but we want to still make sure it has good bones, right? Angie Cole:         Most definitely, you know, I would make sure to maintain a number one would be, you know, make sure that that house flipper, the person that did the work is a licensed contractor. You know, we want to make sure that we're not just putting kind of lipstick on a pig. You know, you probably heard that saying before, um, you know, it's important to make sure that it was indeed quality work that was done to the home. Um, and it's not a, not a makeshift because what will happen is you'll move in and over time things will start to fall apart. You'll start to see issues and problems and that that's the last thing that you want to deal with when it comes to buying a home that you should be enjoying and loving and a, so make sure that you know, the person that did the work is indeed a licensed contractor Walter:                to some of that stuff. Angie Cole:         Is it reasonable to ask for and expect to them to have receipts and warranty information on the products and upgrades they did? Most definitely. I mean, any person that has been doing this for awhile, we'd know to keep all of that, those items together. I mean, even a lot of just standard sellers, you know, they have that drawer full of all of their, you know, warranty information, all their brochures or pamphlets. Um, and so yeah, I mean definitely request that, you know, work the work that was done, there's receipts for it, you know, they share all the warranty information on all the products and upgrades. Um, just because that's stuff that you will need later on down the road potentially as well. And we really want to make sure that the large work was permitted. Right. Um, oh yeah, most definitely. So, you know, actually anything that has been changed as far as electrical, plumbing, any type of structural changes, you must pull a permit for. Angie Cole:         All those options are changes. I mean, even if there's been a change in an HVAC system, there should be a permit that has been pulled. So definitely go to the county website. You can also call into the permitting department and they're super, super helpful. Um, but yes, make sure that any type of improvements where those items have been moved, those mechanicals, there were permits that were pulled and actually closed out. I have seen in the past where there's been major renovations done to a home, although the initial permit was pulled, the permits still open. It was never then what's called close. So that means that the county inspector did not pay him back by four in inspection to double check that the work was done it properly to make sure our permits had been pulled and they've also been closed out. Walter:                Okay. That makes a lot of sense. So make sure that you're kind of dotting those i's and crossing those t's when it comes to all this work as if you don't, maybe it's when you go to sell the home that now these things surface and become a problem for you years down the line and you don't know. Angie Cole:         Yeah. And you have to remember too, if permits were not pulled, um, whenever it comes time for you to sell your home for areas where permits were not pulled, you can not include that in the heat of square footage. Um, as, as licensed real estate agents can actually get in trouble if we disclose this square footage improperly in the multiple listing database. Um, and so areas that did not have the permits pulled, we can not include that into the heat of square footage and that really changes the overall value of your hem. So make sure that you are protecting yourself when it comes to purchasing a flipper. Walter:                It's a really great point and a, and again, make sure you've got inspections that have, uh, you know, gone into that whole process as well to make sure the work was done not only legally but correctly as well. If you have any questions about what it's like to buy a home from a home flipper and you want a team that can help kind of guide you through that process. You're looking to buy a home here in the triangle that's maybe been flipped. The EIKO realty team certainly is there to help you out. Give him a call at (919) 538-6477 that's (919) 538-6477 or you can text that number as well and go back and forth with Angie and she can get you on the right path to buying your next home. (919) 538-6477 again, is that number to call or text stick with the swarm around the corner here on the Saturday. Realtor, what do you call? Buy a home is a daunting task. Don't miss out on key information that will help you along the way. It's the buying blitz with Vicky, deeper Alfio of a Cole realty. Vicki, what kind of communication should a buyer expect with their real tour? Angie Cole:         My hope is that that communication is always very open and honest. I try to set that expectation from the beginning with my buyer clients. I'm going to be very frank with you if I don't think that this is a good choice for you, I'm going to tell you now you're an adult. You make your own decisions, so you can certainly make that decision to move forward. Even if I'm saying I don't think it's a good choice, but I think that's my due diligence to you as my client is to make sure that I'm open and honest with you. Walter:                So that's sort of the, the tenor of the communication that you'd like. What about the modes of communication? Angie Cole:         You know, it depends. I find that it varies from person to person. So again, I set that expectation from the beginning. I ask my clients, how do you like to be communicated with? I also remind my clients that because I am in the car most of the day that you know, text and phone calls are the quickest, but I'm the kind of personality that I won't go to bed at night with an unanswered email. So sometimes I'm up at midnight still answering emails from that day. Right? So just again, I think it's setting the expectation with your agent and with the client to make sure that you're communicating the best that you possibly can. So if you're thinking about purchasing your home and you want to understand the next steps, it's a great guide that you can receive from start to finish. And to take you through the home buying process, you can text the word contract to the phone number five five five eight eight eight. So once again, to receive a downloadable home buying guide to your smartphone, just text the word contract to the phone. Number five five five Speaker 3:           eight eight eight Walter:                will packer's blue devils and tar heel fans can all agree on at least one thing.

And Angie, who we talking about this week? Yeah. So I want to give a huge shout out and congrats to James and Carla. Um, and it's only fitting that we met them through the radio shack. Well how about that? Yeah. So you know, thank you for listening and for actually contacted me. Walter:                So we had the opportunity of meeting with them and not only did we help them with buying a home in fico away, they actually closed on their new custom built home. I'm about to I believe was two to three weeks ago. But also we help them with selling the home and Gardner and when it came to selling their home, we ended up getting multiple offers for them. So it's super, super quick and they close on their sale this week. So just a huge congrats to James. And Carla, they were absolutely amazing to work with. I was so just um, you know, just, it was such a pleasure of being connected with them through the radio show and being able to assist them with both their by and their sales side. So I know they are super excited, super happy to be in their new home in [inaudible] and there, you know, pleasantly surprised with the outcome of their sale is very cool. Walter:                Congratulations guys. And thanks for calling into the show and getting in touch with Angie and uh, going through that process and glad that you got a successful home closing both on the buy and the sell side. That is fantastic. So if you want to see what it's like to work with Angie and her team, once again, I do encourage you to go to a Cole realty.com.

(919) 538-6477 that's (919) 538-6477 call Angie, call at that number of talk about what you're looking to do when it comes to buying or selling here in the area.

Walter:                And that's finding out, you know, how much their home is worth, what they're potential value is. Tell us a little bit more about that. Yeah, most definitely. So, you know, that's one of those things that sellers always ask us as well, what is my home worth? You know, because oftentimes it doesn't make sense for them to make a move unless they can net a certain amount. Right? So, um, if you are thinking about selling your home and you want to get an idea of what your home is worth in today's market, I would love to share with you our neat tool that Angie Cole:         we have.

Speaker 4:           Cool. We're on the way. Walter:                It's time for the mail bag. We want to hear from you. Drew in Fickaway has a question for us. Drew says, I recently purchased my first home. It's just me and my dog reno. I plan on being here for a while and I'd like to do some renovation work. I know you've talked about being careful over upgrading a home, but I just want to do it for fun. Would I really be shooting myself in the foot if I made a bunch of changes? Yes. Angie Cole:         Do I feel like there's not a right or wrong answer to this. I'm with answering your question. So you know I, oh, I do say be careful when it comes to over improving your hand and what I mean the areas you never want to want to be the nicest, most expensive home in on the block in your neighborhood because typically you will not get all that money back out of it. But on the flip side, if you plan on being there for a while, you need to enjoy your home, right? So, you know what I would say, run with it and have fun as long as you set arrive. Now set that expectation for you that when it's time to sell your home, you might not get the full value back out of the improvements that you put into your home. But you know what? A home is just that. It's called a home for a reason and you need to make it your own. So if you enjoy doing improvements, doing renovation work, you know, enjoy it and you know, make it a home for you and your dog. Walter:                That's a really good point. Angie and a drew, I mean, you know, have some fun, right? I mean, I guess there's a big difference Angie, between hey, I'm going to paint the walls. Like that's not going to price you out of your neighborhood versus I'm going to add an elevator and sure, you know, a, a 6,000 square foot addition into the backyard that I'm going to be the biggest home and the, you know, foreseeable distance in the zip code. Well then that might be, you know, shooting yourself in the foot a little bit there. Right? Angie Cole:         Yeah, yeah, exactly. And I, Walter:                you know, it's more of if your next step is to quickly sell your home or to do all of these types of improvements or changes in order to sell, that's when I say, oh, let's stop. Let's stop what we're doing right there. Let me give you some feedback. Let me give you some guidance based on your neighborhood and what it can support. Um, but you know, if you're going to be there for a while, make it your own, enjoy it. If that's something that you, that your hobby, you know, that you love doing as far as renovations and, and you know, just kind of improving your home, you know, have at it, you're, you know, it's, it's a home for a reason. Yup. It's a really great point. Thank you for the question. Drew.

This is our second episode and it's being recorded Wednesday, March 6th, 2019. In this episode we have our first guest and I'll give you a little background. So here at Spiffy we are doing a lot of work at automobile auctions. It's a whole industry I've always heard about but never had experienced. So I was, I was reading online at a great site called Auto Remarketing and I kept seeing some content there by a guy named Joe Overby. And I said, "Wow, I've got to meet this guy some time" and went to his bio and discovered he is here local. So Joe is going to be our first guest here on the show.   Joe: [01:37] Scot, thanks for having me.   Scot: [01:38] Yeah. When we have 500 shows out, you'll, this'll be, you'll put it on your resume.   Joe: [01:42] That's right, first ever guest on Vehicle 2.0.   Scot: [01:43] Yes. We really appreciate it. And you're the senior editor of Auto Remarketing and Auto Remarketing Canada. So that's interesting. So you speak Canadian apparently as well as English.   Joe: [01:56] I try to. My southern accent, a little bit, gets in the way.   Scot: [01:59] Is that on your title? So you can go get some of the delicious Canadian beer or?   Joe: [02:04] You have delicious, delicious Canadian beer and they have the gravy fries, which are out of this world.   Scot: [02:11] Yeah. Yummy.   Joe: [02:12] Going up there in two weeks for that.   Scot: [02:15] Cool. Let's start off and kind of orient every, all the listeners about your background. How did you get into the industry and where you are today?   Joe: [02:23] So I went to went to NC state and I majored in political science, did a minor in journalism and had worked in for technician for a few years. And the student newspaper and then had a job in sports writing at a newspaper in Georgia right after college and worked there for two years and decided I want to try something different and get into magazines and applied for the job back here in Raleigh at our S&A Cherokee, which is the parent company of Auto Remarketing. And I've been covering the auto industry for about 12 years now.   Scot: [02:54] Awesome. Cool. Yeah. And NC state. Awesome. Go pack.   Joe: [02:59] Yes sir.   Scot: [02:59] Tell us more about Auto Remarketing. So is it print and online? Just online? And what kind of audience do you guys have? We'd love to know more about the publication.   Joe: [03:14] So we're print online and we have a digital edition are online. You know, we have our website obviously, and then we have a wide range of e newsletters that we send out, kind of that's how we get our stories out. Our largest e-newsletters, a daily morning one that goes out to about 22,500 subscribers. And then we have, you know, various other daily and weekly newsletters. They're about the same size or smaller. And then we have a print publication that goes out to 36,000 subscribers and then a digital edition of our same, of the same magazine. It goes out to 50,000. And then we have the same another publication Auto Remarketing Canada for our Canadian audience. And that also has a weekly and daily newsletters, and also a digital edition as well along with print. And then a colleague of mine, a guy by the name of Nick Zulovich, he heads up a couple of automotive finance publications. So we have one kind of specializes in the fin-tech space and then one that specializes in kind of the subprime lower tier financing in automotive as well.   Scot: [04:28] Yeah. And then the broader Cherokee, are all their publications automobile-oriented or do they go into a lot of different kinds of B2B verticals?   Joe: [04:35] Most of it actually is automotive B2B. I think we have four prints, automotive publications, but then we've also got two local lifestyle magazines. Folks here in the Triangle area, probably know Cary Magazine and we just launched a magazine for Holly Springs and Fuquay called Main & Broad. And then our company also has done several custom publications where, you know, maybe it's a, an association or a, you know, company that will publish a custom custom job for them. But mostly, yes, our bread and butter is the automotive space.   Scot: [05:11] Very cool. Yeah, it's interesting. The, you know, you read the headlines, print is dying out, but I think that's the daily newspaper. But it seems like where there's a lot of vibrancy is in kind of hyper local. So people want to know a lot more about what's going on with their community. And then also in, in kind of a lot of the B2B verticals, seems like you have those bases covered.   Joe: [05:30] We've got a, we've got a captive audience, so to speak for the, for the B2B as well. Yeah.   Scot: [05:35] Well, cool. We've got a ton of stuff we want to talk about. Let's start with what I call the vehicle life cycle. It seems like you guys got financing and then then kind of like, you know, the, the used car side, the remarketing refurbishing side. What are you seeing there, you know, around behavior around how people buy and sell cars. Is that changing or it's kind of the same it's been over the time you've tracked it?   Joe: [05:59] Certainly. Probably since about 2013, well, 2014. It's become a lot more digital in terms of the actual transaction. I mean, you had, you know, back then you had a lot of companies like Carvana, you know the BPs of the world, the rooms that have launched in the last five years. And more consumers, even if they're not maybe signing on the dotted line and buying completely online, they're doing, if there's five steps to car buying, they might be completing four of 'em online and then going and picking it up at the dealership or, or, you know, setting up the deal online. So I think you're seeing a lot more movement to completing some or all pieces of the process online. And, and, and it's not just these, the startups that are doing it, dealers are getting into the game as well. And you know, using software providers to get in the game themselves in terms of online buying and selling.   Scot: [06:56] Yeah, I think one of the Superbowl commercials that was my favorite was, I can't remember if it was Kia or Hyundai. Bt they had the commercial where the guy was in the elevator and it was Jason Bateman, and there was like root canal. And you know, like all these things and then like the bottom kind of the bottom level was buying a car and they were that company that, oh, that OEM was rolling out a model that was very Carvana [inaudible] will come to you, you have a return period. That kind of a thing. So I think it's been interesting to watch that.   Joe: [07:25] Yeah, for sure. I mean the automakers are doing it and they're, they're doing it through their dealers. I mean partly obviously cause a franchise dealer laws that they have to go through their dealers. But you know, they, they've got the infrastructure of, of these large dealer networks that they can set that up. Yeah.   Scot: [07:40] How about, I'm kind of staying on the topic of the vehicle life cycle. You mentioned your sister publication around finance. What's, what's new there? I know I've seen some data that leases are, are quite kind of, you know, continue to be the most, one of the increasingly popular ways to, to, to finance a car. What else are you seeing in that?   Joe: [07:59] Well, I'm one of the, one of the alternatives now is some of the cult subscriptions and they, you know, instead of in one of the, one of the models that has launched recently is one called Fair, which was launched by a guy named Scott Painter who was the CEO and founder of True Car. And he brought in a guy named George Bauer who's a former executive with the German automotive. And I believe, you know, it's had a lot of, a lot of experience in, in that, in that space as well. But you know, they models like that kind of had, I've taken on the approach of, you know, why jump into a 60, 66, 72 month loan when you can subscribe to a vehicle for, you know, a year if you want it at three months, if you want it. And then kind of get out and move on to the next one. And it's, you know, not to get in the weeds too much, but it is a different little bit different model than say, you know, a rental or a lease. But it just gives another flexibility for, for someone who doesn't want to set up financing for the next six years of their life.   Scot: [09:04] Yeah. Yeah. That, that's a good segway. So part of the reason we started this podcast is we at Spiffy. We've put out this framework, we call the vehicle 2.0 framework and it's got four components, changing ownership, connected car electrification and autonomous vehicles. And you know, Fair is a good example of kind of the changing ownership going from kind of long leases to kind of micro leases. Then you've got Getaround, and Toro. That's more Airbnb kind of like, you know, sharing almost car sharing. And then it's really topical because I'm sure you saw Lyft filed their IPO and it's kinda caused this whole raft of in there, you know, Lyft talks about long-term, they don't think everyone's going to own a car. And then now I've seen like six top level articles about, you know, what's happening with car ownership. Any other interesting car ownership trends you're seeing?   Joe: [09:53] Well, I just, I think that the, in terms of car ownership, there's just such a variety of alternatives. Now, I mean the, you mentioned Lyft, I mean one of the stories we had this week was Lyft has partnered with Cox Automotive, which owns kind of a variety of different vendors in this space. And they're on the service side. You know, when, when you, there's a dealership service department platform where, you know, when you take your vehicle to get serviced, they've got an automatic partnership with Lyft. So instead of having a, a loaner fleet, that dealership can just get set you up with the Lyft vehicle for that, you know, for the time period that you're, your vehicles in the shop. And, you know, you've seen those Enterprise commercials with, I think it's Joel McHale where he says, you know, you can rent a car from enterprise, you can, you know, car share with enterprise or you can buy it from enterprise. So I think companies are realizing the, the amount of variety of, of different ownership models and the way people want to interact with their cars these days.   Scot: [11:00] Yeah. So sometimes you know, the articles kind of doom and gloom for kind of the traditional dealer. Do you think the dealer is kind of a dinosaur in this model or did they, they have to kind of just pivot and become more of like the service center? So if we kind of go to the extreme, right, and we, we kind of, I think, you know, we believe car ownership's going to be more of kind of fleets owning cars and people kind of, you know, using them on a smaller kind of timescale. It's not, all these things are never going to be 100% either. I come from the world of eCommerce and we're like 15% of the city of retail is on the commerce. We've been at it for 25 years. So, but you know, imagine there's a day where more like 20% of cars are, are kind of a fleet kind of a model. Where do you think the dealer falls in that spectrum?   Joe: [11:45] Well, I think at this point there's still, there's still very much in the game. I mean, a lot of these models that we talk about Fair and, and some of these subscription models, they, they worked through the dealership. So, you know, you may, the end consumer may go to their app and, and you know, subscription program or some sort of alternative ownership program that they access through an app. That company, a lot of times we'll still buy the car, you know, the delivery of the vehicle still through that dealership and a lot of the dealerships are offering these services themselves. So I think that they, I think it's more of a pivot that a dealer, you know, may shift part of its business from, you know, 100% retail sales to portions of it being, well part of our inventory is going to be first subscriptions or car sharing, you know, for a ride hailing drivers and that sort of thing. I do think there's an opportunity as well for dealers to be in the service business. I mean, for these vehicles, the service business of, of a dealership has long been the most profitable anyway. So, you know, they're, I think they're very excited about, you know, the ability to change their model. I mean, I was talking to a dealer recently who said that it's in dealer's nature to sell what the consumer wants. I mean, it's a simple statement, but, you know, dealer, a dealer wants to sell, however, you know, whether it's an electric vehicle and autonomous vehicle or, or an alternative method of ownership, a dealer wants to be the person selling that car and they're going to do it.   Scot: [13:25] Yeah, absolutely. How about, and this may be out of your purview, but we were doing a lot of work now with rental car companies and I had kind of assumed that they would be on the decline because I've gone through a phase where if I go to a city now, I kind of do some math and figure out am I just gonna kind of Uber around or am I going to rent a car? And you know, that that bar is kind of increasingly leaning towards more ride sharing. But I was surprised to find rental car companies that are actually growing pretty nicely. What do you think, you know, are they kind of going to start competing? The other argument could be maybe rental car companies are better equipped to manage these kind of future fleets than dealers are. Do you have any point of view on that?   Joe: [14:06] That's, that's interesting. I mean, I think they certainly have the, if you think about what they already do, you know, a lot of them already sell cars. Just like dealers, you know, they have, they operate in many ways like dealerships.   Scot: [14:21] Yeah, and they have more flexibility because like, you know, dealers get kind of locked in, if you bought it here, I want you to service it here and you know, and they're locked into one type of vehicle. Like I'm not going to take my, my Honda to a Lexus dealer for now. They may actually, sometimes you talk to dealers and they would actually do that, which always surprised me. I never knew that was a thing. Yeah. But most consumers don't think that way. Whereas whereas Hertz, Avis, etc. Are, you know, manufacturer agnostic.   Joe: [14:44] And they do have, I mean, you know, a dealer, a dealer wants to get that, that new car sales there. They are going to take a trade in and then, you know, either use it on their own lot or, or take it to auction or, or you know, dispose of it via wholesale. But, as far as rental companies, I mean, I think, you know, they certainly have the type of infrastructure, national footprint that automaker or franchise dealership system has. They also recently, I mean, if you'll notice that a lot of these companies, either their, you know, the, the large rental car companies are either outright buying some of these smaller alternative, physical ownership platforms or they're working very closely with them to partner, you know, cause they know that they know that, you know, when, when you go, when, when somebody goes to travel there, they're doing the math that you just described. You know, it actually be cheaper for me to take a Lyft to and from a hotel rather than, you know, renting a car. And I think, I think those companies are doing the math and partnering with some of those companies. And, you know, they, I know that they're even getting into the connected vehicle space as well, these rental companies. You know, I think they're just as progressive, you know, in terms of this technology as the dealership and automakers are.   Scot: [16:22] Yeah. And I mentioned at the top of the show that, you know, you guys put a lot of great content out there about auto auctions. That's when, as an eCommerce guy, it's kind of interesting to think about, you know, I haven't visited one, but a lot of people at Spiffy have, and then they seem to be these giant fields full of cars. And you know, there's, there's a point in time like a Wednesday morning and three days before Wednesday, you know, tractor trailers are showing up with cars and unloading them and then they're getting washed and they're putting them through an auction process and they're loading them back up. It just seems like a hugely physical analog kind of a thing in today's world. Is digital hitting auto auctions and, and what's that look like and give, give listeners that maybe they don't even know the industry, like maybe a high-level overview of and what's going on.   Joe: [16:57] Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I think the, I mean, first of all, the physical auction space definitely is still happening. I mean that, physical sales, you know, are still going on every single week, every single day. But you do have where the two, the two largest corporate physical auction companies in the US, Manheim and Adesa, Manheim is owned by Cox Automotive, which is part of this global huge company, Cox Enterprises, Cox Automotive. And then you have Adesa which is owned by Clorox and services, which is a publicly traded large company. Both those companies are pushing more and more on their auction side to digital. I mean, I don't have exact stats in front of me, but it's about 50/50 of their auction sales involve some digital element, whether it's somebody buying via simulcast or you know, somebody sitting on a computer and buying through an online auction. They're pushing, those two large companies are pushing more of their business to the digital side.   Scot: [18:08] But digital, is like an overlay on the physical or, or is it actually a separate digital thing so I could buy one and it's not actually in a physical auction?   Joe: [18:15] Right. So a little bit of both. Actually. The, for example, car and services, which owns Adesa also owns a online auction company called Trade Rev. And that is completely digital and you think, oh, it's kind of cannibalizing. But no, it's, it's really a compliment to their existing auction business. Cox Automotive has, you know, dealer to dealer sales platforms. They have online auctions. So you know, these companies, the approach that I've seen them take is they want to sell however the buyer wants to buy. I mean, and dealers are just like consumers and that a lot of them are moving more towards making purchases digitally. That said, I mean, there's still a huge role for these, for these auto auctions. I mean, there's, some of them, for example, at Manheim, there's a former Manheim location that now has been turned into a mobility fleet servicing center. So what they do is they, you know, they do all of the things that need to happen with a fleet of, of mobility vehicles. So gassing them, washing, reconditioning. All of this sort of services you might think have to happen on the backend, this former auto auction does. And I think you're going to see a model where you know, an auto auction might do a little bit of both. They might still have those physical sales in the lane every Wednesday morning, but also sell vehicles digitally and act as a service center for all kinds of, you know, they already do a lot of ancillary services anyways. Now they have a new client and these large fleets of, you know, ride sharing, car sharing, you know, subscription services that it's a new clientele that they can serve as those vehicles as well.   Scot: [20:15] Yeah. So it kind of sounds like we've got three factions fighting for this future of, of you know, fleet management. So you've got the dealers and the OEMs kind of aligned on one side. And in the eCommerce world, it's interesting. So, you know, you have kind of brands and retailers and, and those guys have fractured themselves because there's been a lot of channel conflict where the brands are starting to go around kind of their traditional channels. So it'll be interesting to see if that happens. But that's one faction do, we had the rental car kind of faction and the now it seems like the auto auction guys kind of also want to put their hat in the ring for managing this.   Joe: [20:48] Yeah, absolutely. And, and even then, you also have a, aside from the, the large kind of corporately owned auctions, you have a lot of independent independently owned auctions. I mean there's, I don't know the exact count, but there's hundreds of independently owned auctions and they're, you know, they're just as innovative and then getting into the same type of a, the same type of play that, that these, you know, large corporate auctions are as well.   Scot: [21:16] Yeah. And I saw a company called ACV Auction, am I saying that right? And they just announced, I forget the amount, but it was like a big raise. Was it 70 million, a hundred. It was like a, it was kind of eye popping. Let's see if I can find that. But that's more of just kind of a new new entrant. Right. So just pure digital if I understand?   Joe: [21:35] Yeah, absolutely. They are a digital dealer to dealer online auction and they have been, I mean it seems like for a while there, almost every other store we had was about them than raising capital. I mean they, they have been, they hired a relatively new CEO I think has somewhat of a Wall Street background and funding background. A guy named George Simone and they have just been raising money and raising money and then, you know, Trade Rev, which I mentioned earlier is I guess it would be a competitor to theirs. And they're, they're owned by, you know, one of the publicly traded large company in the auction space. And then you have, there was a new, a company from Canada called Eblock, which they just launched in the US in Burlington, Vermont. And then you have just tons of other companies into this, in this digital, wholesale space where if you think about Carvana and Vroom and some of those companies and just think about, you know, those they're in customers or retail customers like you and me, ACV, Trade Rev, their customers are, they're doing essentially the same thing, but their customers are dealers. Yeah. And there's just, they're well capitalized. There's lots of them. And you know, I think it's a growing space. And then you, and then to add to that, there's, you know, a company like a Smart Auction, which is a piece of Ally Financial. They'd been around for 20 plus years doing this. And there's, it's, it's a growing space.   Scot: [23:09] They're coming at it from the financial side?   Joe: [23:11] Well, they're an online auction, but they, you know, it's, it's a similar concept to me as it were. Dealers can go in and buy car wholesale cars online for their inventories. Yeah. Got It. Does Cox so, so noticeably absent for that was kind of Cox, do they have a digital auction platforms? They do. They have OVE. They have Manheim Express, which is a dealer to dealer platform. And you know, they're, they're very much involved in digital wholesale. Yeah. Cox Automotive.   Scot: [23:42] Cool. And while you were talking, looked it up. So they raised a ACV auction, raised 93 million in December and they've raised 150 million total. So that's a pretty considerable. It's interesting because watching, so I come from the marketplace world and they've, they've kind of gone through this kind of touchless to high touch. So, so kind of the famous example is a lot of people use Open Door. I don't know if you've ever shopped for a house now, but they'll go in and buy the starter homes and a whole area of, so here in the triangle they've bought like any house, but between kind of 102k, they'll go buy it and then they'll run a marketplace. So, so imagine like, you know, Zillow went out and bought all the houses and was selling them. So it'll be interesting to see if we kind of go full circle and see someone like an ACV actually taking some inventory risk or something. You would imagine with raising that much capital there, there's gotta be something going on there that's all that it's a lot of engineers behind the scenes deal for $200 million. Okay, cool. So changing ownership, some interesting trends there. How about connected car? What, what did, what do you think happens in a world where our car is kind of connected to the cloud and, you know, it lights up a lot of nice new features for, for the consumer, but what else does it mean for the future of cars?   Joe: [24:56] Well, I think that this number one, it's sort of been progressively happening already. I mean with, with Onstar, with General Motors, you know, having the, having that kind of feature. And then, you know, on the way over here I had my, how to podcast and music and directions going through my phone. So there's already a level of connectivity in cars and, and I think that is a bigger, not worry, it's going to be here faster, I guess, than autonomous vehicles. Yeah. I've, I've heard that, I've heard that in the industry that, you know, that's, people aren't talking about that as much as they are autonomous cars, but I think there's a greater chance that we have connected vehicles much quicker than we have self driving vehicles. It'll be interesting it, you know, what's the, you know, what are some of the purposes to that, you know, is it safety? I mean, that, that would be a, to me, you know, cars communicating with each other, you know, could be a big help for safety is that, you know, when cars are too close together or, you know, does it help avoid accidental oil, you know, or accident avoidance. I think that's a potential play there. I mean, obviously the infotainment is, we're already there. Yeah. But I think there's a lot of, a lot of room for growth there and I think you're going to see that quicker than, than you are autonomous cars.   Scot: [26:26] Yeah, it's been interesting. So a lot of, a lot of companies kind of went with their own kind of, you know, app, App store thing and now it seems to be kind of standardizing on a, you know, the Apple system or the Android and kind of Amazon. It seems to be having some legs with Alexa, kind of, in the car. Yup. It's interesting to see what happens there.   Joe: [26:46] And another point to that. There's a, there's been a couple companies that have come out with basically devices that you plug into the onboard, got an onboard diagnostic port. And so as long as the vehicle is something, it's either sometime in the 80s or sometime in the 90s that if your vehicle was made after a certain point, you can turn it, you know, 1995 Toyota Camry into a connected car by plugging in their device to a, to the onboard, the OBD two sensor. So it's, it's really interesting. Even used cars are becoming connected cars.   Scot: [27:21] Yeah. And some companies like a Verizon has Hum where now that not only do you plug that in, so sometimes you can plug the sensor ended, it'll talk to your phone and get to the cloud, but sometimes it will have its own cell phone connection in there so it can, you know, to your point it can, it can add retroactively add connect to capabilities. Yeah. Electrification. So there, there's a, you know, avi is a autonomy is like the shiny bulp, but in the industry, but electrification seems to be kind of grinding out a lot faster. What do you think about that?   Joe: [27:51] Well, I think the biggest issue I see is affordability. I mean, new car affordability in general is already an issue. And it's driving a lot of people to the used car market right now. And that is partly as a function of consumers more interested in trucks and SUVs and crossovers than they are sedans. It's a, naturally the price goes up on those vehicles. But you know, I, I think you look at it like the Tesla's of the world and some of these, you know, electric vehicles or are too far past a price point where they don't make up for the gas savings. But I think there, there are people working on that. I mean the, actually the next, next couple stories I'm working on, one of them is about a, a company called Current Automotive and they are a used electric vehicle dealership that sells primarily online. They're actually one of the co-founders is part of the, or has families that the built Jacobs Automotive Group up in Chicago. And then the other co-founder I believe is a former Tesla executive, but they are, you know, having, having the point now we're where there's enough used electric vehicles that are hitting the market. Having that infrastructure of a, of a dealership type of organization that can sell them, you know, I think should help some of the affordability around electric vehicles.   Scot: [29:23] You don't think a $35,000 Model 3 is, we think we have to go lower than that?   Joe: [29:29] Well no, I mean I don't think so cause I, I think that the way new car prices are now, that's probably about what average for a new car now.   Scot: [29:38] Yeah I think average is between 30 and 40k. Right?   Joe: [29:39] So, you know, I don't know there has to go lower than that, but I do think it is a positive sign that there are going to be used vehicle options for people that, you know, don't necessarily want to shell out 35 grand at the low end for an electric vehicle. And then, you know, you had another, another kind of story we're looking into is the the former House majority leader Richard Gephardt,is signed on as an advisor with Fisker Automotive. And they're in that same kind of electric vehicle space in there. They're looking to basically solve the pain point of, you know, creating a, a workforce for people to build electric vehicles. And so I think with more options I think the price will come down on, on electric vehicles. And again, going back to the kind of the different types of ownership models, there's several different iterations of electric vehicles. You know, you have your hybrids, you have your-   Scot: [30:44] Different plug in hybrids.   Joe: [30:45] Exactly. Yeah. I know a lot of people that are doing the plug in hybrid thing kind of helps with the range anxiety to have an internal combustion engine there. So I think there's, there's more options come to the table. I think you'll see the price come down and more people get into them. I don't think we're going to get it go away from internal combustion engines. I mean, not only because of the infrastructure challenges, I mean there's, there's political challenges do it as well. I mean, there's entire industries that would lobby against that. So you know, I think, you know, I know certain countries are probably will go 100% evs, but I don't think that's going to happen in the US.   Scot: [31:26] Yeah. China seems to be very aggressive. So they're, you know, they've got massive pollution problems and they're pushing for that big subsidies. And they're building out of the, all of the infrastructure will be interesting to see what happens there. Do you guys cover electrical infrastructure at all? Like, do you know how many chargers and companies like Chargepoint? There's a lot of startups trying to dissolve the charging challenge.   Joe: [31:46] Not yet. I'll say, we, you know, our focus has mainly been in the the used car retail and you wholesale space and sort of the, that side of the industry. But in the past, you know, three or four years, we've really ramped up our, for lack of better word, automotive technology coverage, whether it's mobility, whether it's, you know, EVs online buying eCommerce as become a huge part of the industry. And so it's kind of been a huge part of our, of our coverage. So I think as, as more of those models gain traction, that that'll be something we'd probably open, open ourselves up to a little bit.   Scot: [32:24] Yeah. I think the industry is not really ready for electric cars because when we visited an auto auction and they had almost a whole, there were helping Tesla do a kind of a bunch of refurb kind of stuff. And their biggest, one of their biggest challenges was having so many Teslas there, they couldn't charge them all.   Joe: [32:41] Yeah.   Scot: [32:42] So they would like, you know, they had a line of a hundred Teslas and over, you know, over a period of time the batteries, you know, they're, they're using some electricity and they would kind of brick the, the vehicle and have to go figure out like once it's bricked, it's hard to get it to two power. So, so, you know, it's interesting to like, you know, the, the infrastructure we always think about on the consumer of the retail side of charging, but it kind of flows through, you know. Imagine a rental car company trying to do this and you know, having to add, you know, they're going to have to charge hundreds of vehicles overnight and the infrastructure, on that side, I don't think a lot people think about that. But that's big too.   Joe: [33:15] And there's probably companies out there that eventually if they're not already, would go and work with the rental car companies and the auto auctions that they can set up charging stations. You know, if they say we've got too many Tesla's here at the auction, the charge, all of them, you know, at this company as I'm sure it could come in and do that.   Scot: [33:34] Yeah, they're expensive though. Each one of those is like, you know, a hundred to 200 k and like with, when you put it all in with the, the backend electrical plus the wiring and the head unit. Yeah. It's expensive. Yeah. Cool. And then the, the shiny bulb in the industry is autonomous vehicles. What do you think about that?   Joe: [33:52] I think it's going to be awhile before they gain a whole lot of traction. I think there's, you know, what I've seen mainly is that it will be like as a staged rollout where it's, each level is kind of staggered I guess. But you know, I think last year the, the much publicized, you know, unfortunate, you know, the accidents that resulted in fatalities involving self driving cars. I mean I think that kind of slowed it down a little bit. I think the, there's too many, too much safety concern right now. Whether that's overblown, it's still there. I mean I think, there's a lot more testing that needs to be worked out before those gain any kind of real, you know, measurable market share.   Scot: [34:40] Yes. Yeah. It's been interesting to watch it CES. I haven't been to CES in a while, but I watched the coverage. And this is the beautiful thing about social media, you don't have to go to these things anymore. Save a trip. And it seemed like the last three CESs is prior to 2019 we're all a lot of autonomous vehicle hype and then this year it was kind of like the reality of more of the things they were showing were, you know, really constrained public transit kind of thing. Just so you know, these vehicles are going to go in a very predetermined route with its own lanes and a very safe kind of approach and they're only going to go 20 to 30 miles an hour and they'll have a human in there. And so really kind of pulling back from that, you know, I'm just going to hop in a car and it's gonna drive me coast to coast and I won't, I can sleep or something like that.   Joe: [35:22] I think it's more of a pragmatic approach. It's cities looking at how do we solve these mass transit issues, you know, whether it's a or, you know, even even companies, I mean who were, you know, if it's a, if it's a self driving a shuttle at a company or something that it goes around the campus or, or you know, helping cities out, solving those, solving those issues, more of a pragmatic approach rather than a retail consumer just wants a self driving car, like, you know, on the Jetsons or something.   Scot: [35:51] Yeah. So any other trends in Auto Remarketing that, that are kind of top of mind with you?   Joe: [35:58] Well, I think going back to the, just the increasingly digitize digitalized presence of, of the auto auction industry. I mean I, I think there is, it's an interesting time because so much of it is, is going digital, you know, and despite there being still the need for the physical auto auction because you're moving these large assets and it's, you know, there's a lot of physical movement. It's still needed in the industry. It's interesting to see how you'd mentioned the ACV investment. It's, it's been really fascinating to watch how much money and how much attention is, is getting paid to, to that side of the business. And I think it's a, it's only going to grow from here. You know, that the digital wholesale environment.   Scot: [36:45] Cool. Awesome. And you guys have, you mentioned earlier that you spend more time on kind of, you know, some of the future vehicle technology stuff. And I noticed that you'd put a lot of events on this seem to be kind of anchored around this. Tell listeners about some of the events you guys host and how they can learn more about this.   Joe: [37:02] Sure. So we do, we have four automotive conferences each year. Two of them were actually coming up in Canada. I'm heading to Toronto in a week and a half. That'll be for the Toronto used car industry. But this summer in Raleigh we have the Automotive Intelligence Summit. This is our second one. It really, it focuses on just the, you know, a lot of what we've talked about today, you know, autonomous vehicles, the connected vehicles, digital retail, the use of big data and data analytics and artificial intelligence and the, you know, things, you know, what role does blockchain management have in, in automotive. So a lot of these tech driven changes in automotive. This conference, you know, we'll address, and again, it's our second year of doing it. It's going to be July 23rd through 25th in Raleigh at the Marriott Crabtree right across from the Crabtree Mall. But if, if people are interested in learning more, they can go to autointelsummit.com. That's autointelsummit.com. Or they can holler at me on Twitter @AR_JoeOverby and I can share more information there as well.   Scot: [38:25] Cool. So I think you said four, so two in Canada, Auto Intel, is there a fourth one?   Joe: [38:30] Yeah, absolutely. Our signature event. I'm glad you reminded me. Our signature kind of flagship conference is Used Car Week and each year we host that in the fall and it's typically in the southwest. This year we're going to be in Las Vegas at the Red Rock. Last year we were in Phoenix or Scottsdale, Arizona. And what it is is it's four separate conferences that are all kind of part of the used vehicle life-cycle. So we have a retail focus conference on pre-owned. We have a finance auto finance conference, we have the repossession and recovery space. And then we have our National Remarketing Conference, which is the kind of wholesale, the auto auctions, that sort of thing. And we're actually going to be celebrating our 20th anniversary of that National Remarketing Conference. But that's going to be November 11th through 15th in at Red Rock in Las Vegas. And folks who are interested in that can visit usedcarweek.biz. And that and that again, you know, it is kind of an overall auto industry conference, but given the nature of, of automotive these days, it is going to be tech. You know, there's going to be some tech focus, some innovation, some, you know, talk about digital and that sort of thing as well.   Scot: [39:55] Yeah. So just kind of reading the between the lines sounds like the Raleigh one is maybe like hundreds, low, hundreds, a couple hundred folks. Anything in Vegasis going to be at least single digit thousands if not tens of thousands. T   Joe: [40:08] Yeah, the Auto Intel summit, we had about two or 300 last year, very kind of boutique conference, but you know, everybody there was very engaged and there to, you know, be in the sessions. And again Used Car Week is a broader, larger, you know, we've been doing it for a couple of decades, it is in the, you know, I think last year we had about, attendance was about 1600, I believe. Yeah.   Scot: [40:36] Yeah. Cool. Yeah, it's fun to go to kind of both cause you kind of, you know, the smaller shows are more in a minute and literally deep on something but maybe not as actionable sometimes. And then the networking is good and then the bigger ones you can kind of go and have a list of here's five vendors I want to meet. And it a lot more to kind of tactical get, get business done. So it's good to kind of go to both, I think.   Joe: [40:57] It's like going to a basketball game at Cameron indoor stadium versus going to a football game at Carter Finley. It's just, one's a big crowd and loud and once you know, it's small intimate atmosphere, so, yeah.   Scot: [41:09] Absolutely. Cool. Well Joe, we don't want to take more of your time. Appreciate you coming over to Spiffy to record the podcast. Excited to have you as one of our first guests. You mentioned your Twitter handle. If folks want to, that's one way to kind of get in touch with you. Are you active on Linkedin or other social media and maybe let's definitely kind of bring them to the website too.   Joe: [41:28] Yeah, absolutely. Certainly active on Linkedin, just Joe there. And my email, if anybody has any questions about our conferences or about our publications. It's at joverby@cherokeemediagroup.com. The website for all of our publication is Autoremarketing.com.   Scot: [41:53] Great. Thanks for coming and thanks Jackson on the audio engineering side.   Joe: [41:59] Well thank you Scot. This has been fun!

The purpose of The United Methodist People Podcast with Rev. Dr. Brad Miller is to strengthen the connection in the United Methodist Church through conversation and commentary.  In Episode 011 Brad interviews Rev. Rob Fuquay author of “A New Reformation” and Senior Pastor of St. Luke’s UMC, a large membership church in Indianapolis, Indiana. Rob talks to Brad about his faith journey growing up in North Carolina and the importance of youth fellowship programs in his faith formation.  He speaks of spending time in ministry in England where he became aware of his calling within the calling to be an ambassador of keeping the local church fresh.  He gave an example of the church staying fresh through the small group ministry at his church which had been helpful to transforming the life of a self-destructive young man. Brad and Rob talked about the challenges of the church accomplishing the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world and the encouragement of seeing pockets of transformation in opposition to the trend of decline. Rob shared with Brad his views on “The Way Forward” emphasizing that the one church plan endorsed by the majority of UMC Bishops allows for the “big tent” of the UMC to be expanded to meet the needs of people from a differing perspective on the matters of human sexuality facing the church.  In particular, he noted that many lay people would likely prefer to avoid divorce court and hold the church together. Rob sees signs of hope in the church when the church is willing to die for the cause of Christ.  That is when the church remains fresh. Brad’s interview with Rob Fuquay is a good leaning listen on Episode 011 of The United Methodist People Podcast where he also reviews the book “Canoeing the Mountains” by Tod Bolsinger. Rev. Dr. Brad Miller is a long-time elder in the Indiana Conference of the United Methodist Church with a background in radio and podcasting.
