My guest this week is Jeremy Smith, United Methodist pastor and creator of the blog, Hacking Christianity.

Jeremy is the pastor of First United Methodist Church in Seattle, but his wider audience knows him as the prolific writer of blog posts on Hacking Christianity, a site where Jeremy engages others in conversations about faith using the lenses of progressive theology, technology, and geek culture. He’s also one of the top go-to sites when folks want to read thought-provoking reflections on the state of The United Methodist Church.

In addition to talking about how geek culture and Christianity come together, we also talk about the recent General Conference in the UMC and whether there’s hope for the UMC’s future. you can follow Jeremy on Twitter @umjeremy.
