Telling the Whole Story: Black History is American History with Rev. John C. Russell from University UMC-Indianapolis IN

Bishop Julius C. Trimble is the Resident Bishop of the Indiana Area of the United Methodist Church.

Bishop Trimble has the personal mission to encourage all people with the love of Jesus Christ to rise to their highest potential. It is his commitment to his personal mission that led Bishop Trimble to create the “To Be Encouraged” Podcast along with co-host Rev.Dr. Brad Miller.

Bishop Trimble says, “I am compelled by Jesus to share with you an encouraging word or two about Jesus, theology, the Bible, the pandemic, the environment, racism, voting rights, human sexuality, and the state of the United Methodist Church.”

To Be Encouraged with Bishop Julius C. Trimble is to be published weekly and is available at www.tobeencouraged.com and all the podcast directories.

On Episode 048 Bishop Trimble welcomes as his guest Rev. John C Russell, Jr the Senior Pastor of University UMC - Indianpolis IN. Both Bishop Trimble and Rev. Russell share their thoughts on how in order to tell the whole story of American history you must also tell the story of black history. This leads into a conversation on church revitalization and mission as Rev. Russell told the story of the impact that University UMC is having in its community by elevating lay leadership, working collaborating with other churches and partnering with the police and other community organizations.
