Ep. 660: Life Surge Settles, Samuel Sey, Multi-Site Churches, Highland Park Methodist Church

On today’s program, Life Surge is close to reaching a settlement in a wage lawsuit. A former salesperson for the ministry says the company wrongfully classified him as an independent contractor to avoid paying overtime. We’ll have details.

Plus, a host of Christian influencers are rallying behind popular blogger and podcaster Samuel Sey after he was detained by ICE. Supporters are blaming a clerical error, but DHS says Sey will likely be deported. We’ll take a look.

And, multi-site churches are becoming a staple of American life.

 But first, one of the largest United Methodist churches in the country has voted to leave the denomination. Highland Park United Methodist in Dallas held the vote on Sunday and Monday.
