95: Why So Many Churches?: How the Methodists Got Their Name – Part 14
Nobody names their own movement after an insult — but that's exactly what happened with the Methodists. In this episode, we trace the surprising origin of one of America's largest denominations, starting with two brothers at Oxford who couldn't stand how cold and formal the Church of England had become.
We follow John and Charles Wesley from their disciplined little Bible study group — mockingly called the "Holy Club" — through a heart-changing night on Aldersgate Street in 1738, and all the way to the American frontier, where circuit riders on horseback carried the gospel to settlers who had never seen the inside of a church building.
It's a story about people who took their faith seriously enough to be systematic about it, and how that seriousness sparked a revival that spread across two continents.
