Thanks to social media collaboration, several conversations with Revs. Jenn and Todd Pick, and the nudging of the Holy Spirit, a grass-roots coalition of laity decided to launch a new United Methodist congregation in Azle after their home churches voted to disaffiliate from the UMC. Revive UMC is that new United Methodist presence serving the Azle/Weatherford area. Recently Revs. Jenn and Todd, the co-pastors of Revive, sat down with POD Strangely Warmed Host Rev. Daniel Hawkins to discuss how this all came together, what they’ve learned in the first 4-6 weeks of services, the fantastic impact of the UMC connection and the power of a trust-filled and active partnership between laity and clergy. As Daniel put it in a pre-production meeting, “This is a wonderful resurrection story to share during Holy Week.”
