The Global Methodist Church will decide in September 2024 how it will think about bishops and what their role should be in the emerging denomination. In this nine-part series, I interview the elders nominated to serve as two-year interim bishops. I enjoyed this time with them and think you will too.

Today’s interview is with Ryan Barnett from the MidTexas Conference of the GMC.
