It’s the conversation we’ve been waiting for. To mark Grace Resurrection’s third anniversary, Senior Pastor James Williams sits down with Pastor Emeritus, Randy Mickler for a wide-ranging, heartfelt interview.

You’ll laugh, get a little nostalgic, and hear new stories from the early days—along with the why behind Randy’s return from retirement. How do you plant a church from the ground up? What sacrifices and surprises shaped our beginning? This episode will deepen your appreciation for the faith, grit, and generosity that built Grace Resurrection. And, that's what we're talking about on the podcast this week. Enjoy!

In this episode, James sits down with Rev. Dr. Ted Sauter. A retired pastor, Ted and his wife, Ginger, have been attending Grace Resurrection since 2023. After 57 years in ministry, Ted sheds light on his take on this new church plant, his myriad experiences in ministry, a few of his philosophies that got him through, and why he's a part of this congregation, but did not choose this church. It's not what you think. We enjoyed hearing these two pastors talk about both "Grace" and grace.

(Our podcast studio is under construction, so you're hearing the raw version! Exciting things are ahead!)

The tough stuff. In this episode of our podcast, Rev. Williams expands on his front row perspective of the more recent crises in the UMC. He covers the LGBQT issue, the pros and cons of a connectional system and navigating through the tough times. You may be surprised; you will definitely be informed. And that's what we're talking about this week.
