In this segment, I will aim to cover petitions 033-036. The audience is welcome to join in and help me sound smarter than I am. To be clear, I don't represent the denomination of the GMC. I'm just a guy wading through this material as best as I am able. Many people have put their hopes in the GMC. We aim to do our part to bathe it in prayer and do our best to understand what is being presented to the body and why it matters!

I didn't realize until I finished this morning's live stream that it got cut off pretty early in the stream. It should have made me suspicious when the viewer count stayed the same and I wasn't getting any more comments. Anyway, I recorded the whole thing and have reposted it here for you. I'll clip up the two main portions and post them on YouTube later today. Sorry for the snafu, y'all. There was a small power surge and something about that threw Rumble off. Tomorrow should be normal. God bless you all!
I'm sorry for the confusion around the Carolyn Moore interview yesterday. Apparently I scheduled it for 11:30 PM yesterday rather than 11:30 AM EDT today. I should have been more diligent. I am told there were at least four of you online at that time, waiting. I was fast asleep in bed! But Bishop Moore and I will be talking in 2 1/2 hours here on Locals. Join us then!
I only have one more of these to go until I have completed my series on Methodist essentials. Today's topic wasn't a fun one to write, but that doesn't mean it isn't true: https://jeffreyrickman.substack.com/p/methodist-nature-obedient-with-conditions
