In this podcast I speak with Rev. Leann Robine who is the new Pastor at The First United Methodist Church in Newton. She comes to Newton from the city of Johnny Carson's birthplace, Corning, Iowa. In this interview she gives us her background and also why she wanted to be a Methodist Minister. We also delve into her favorite books of the Bible and why those books are her favorite. Does she believe in a Heaven and Hell and why? I ask about the LGBTQ controversey going on within the Methodist Church right now and The United Methodist's Church's stand on that. Plus, she talks about some of her goals for the church as the Pastor.
