So You’re In The Know... [a Shalimar UMC podcast]

We are thrilled to introduce “So You’re In The Know... [a Shalimar UMC podcast]” hosted by Rev. Matt Langford and Ben Savage! This podcast is a new and exciting way for our church congregation to stay connected and informed.

Each Thursday, listeners will have the opportunity to hear from our leaders, learn about important events and initiatives, and gain a deeper understanding of our community. With its accessible and convenient format, “So You’re In The Know.” is the perfect way to stay connected and informed no matter where you are. Join us as we work together to build a stronger and more connected community!

But why? The simple answer is the recent success of long form conversation formats. Long-form conversation is successful for several reasons:

1. Deep Dive into Topics: Long-form conversation provides the opportunity for a more in-depth exploration of a topic, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of the subject.

2. Building Relationships: Long-form conversation allows for a more personal and intimate exchange, creating a sense of connection and building relationships between the speakers and listeners.

3. Room for Complexity: Complex topics often require more time and space to fully explore and understand. Long-form conversation provides the time and space necessary to delve into the complexities of a subject.

We invite you to experience this with our recent podcast “Ep. 26 - Reboot Recovery, Dr. Deb Hutto, Maj. Craig Martin, USA, Ret., and Hidden Treasures” located here: https://tinyurl.com/4464sac3 This podcast is available on shalimar-umc.org/media, Shalimar UMC app, and Spotify, Email our producer Chris Day at podcast@shalimar-umc.org on how to get your ministry on the show.
