7 Group Spiritual Direction and Discipleship w/ Dr. Melanie Dobson

The Wesleyan Option challenges the assumption that Methodism is just nostalgia. Hosts Lane Davis, Joy Moore, and Rob Haynes make the case that Wesleyan theology offers an intellectually rigorous, culturally prophetic vision for the church today. Through engaging conversations with scholars, pastors, and practitioners, we explore how John Wesley's emphasis on grace, holiness, community, and social transformation speaks powerfully to contemporary issues—critiquing both progressive and conservative cultural accommodation. Whether you're a younger Methodist wondering if your tradition is worth committing to, a church leader seeking theological depth, or a curious Christian exploring different perspectives, this podcast demonstrates why Wesleyan thought matters for navigating faith, culture, and the future of the church.
