Kingdom Ripples is the podcast of the Great Lakes Annual Conference of the Global Methodist Church, serving churches across Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

The Annual Conference exists to ask the local church one question: What is God doing where you are, and how can we join Him?  In this trailer, Rev. Kara Bussabarger and Rev. Dr. Scott Pattison introduce a show built around that question, and around the conviction that the local church is not a landing place but a launching pad.

Conversations on culture, discipleship, leadership, the local church, and mission, in plain language for clergy and laity alike.

Created and hosted by Rev. Kara Bussabarger with Rev. Dr. Scott Pattison.
