Ep 120: “Full Communion: The Spirit at Work Among Us” with Bishop Erik Gronberg & Rev. Kenny Dickson

Dec 1, 2025

“There are more things that unite us than divide us.” — Bishop Erik Gronberg

On this week’s episode of POD Strangely Warmed, Rev. Daniel Hawkins welcomes Bishop Erik Gronberg of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and Rev. Kenny Dickson, a United Methodist pastor serving at King of Glory Lutheran Church in Dallas. Together they explore the story and lived experience of Full Communion, a unique partnership that allows United Methodists and Lutherans to share ministry, leadership, and mission.

Through personal reflection, calling, shared faith, and a few moments of genuine humor, this conversation offers a hopeful glimpse of what becomes possible when the Church chooses collaboration over separation. In a time when division often dominates the narrative, this episode lifts up a different story—one rooted in grace, unity, and the work God is already doing among us.
