Episode 3: A Mindful Discussion with Jeff Rainwater
Sunday May 28, 2023
Sunday May 28, 2023
My discussion on this Podcast is with Jeff Rainwater, currently the Superintendent for Congregation and Community Vitality for the Mountain Sky Conference of the United Methodist Church.
Jeff has served in the Arkansas, (legacy) Rocky Mountain and (since 2018) Mountain Sky Conferences. A trained Aerospace Engineer, his passion is the local church.
This discussion was intentionally timed to capture Jeff's thoughts before he steps out of his current position and returns to the local church at Hope UMC in Greenwood Village, Colorado.
Elements of Jeff's current position will be reallocated between Annie Arnoldy and Betty Nguyen. Their respective email addresses can be found HERE under the MSC Staff. In particular Jeff mentions vitality grants, and Annie, probably AFTER Annual Conference in late June 2023 would be a good contact on possibilities here.

Mindful Leader --Transitional Episode
Saturday May 13, 2023
Saturday May 13, 2023
This is the transition between what was and is to be.
I am preserving here on Podbean all of my old sermons from the past (@ Hilltop UMC in Sandy, Utah) but I am going in a new direction. The next episode will lay out where and what is going on.
But this episode is to create a boundary mark between the old and the new.
