Living the Vision: An Introduction

After a brief hiatus, Get Your Spirit in Shape returns for a new season.

Join Crystal and Joe as they talk about what’s next for Get Your Spirit in Shape and explore the Vision Statement of The United Methodist Church.

In this episode, we talk about how the Vision shapes who we are—as a denomination and as individual United Methodists—and begin to explore what it looks like to live it out in everyday life
