We're joined in this episode by Rev. Madeline Carrasco Henners, who is a United Methodist pastor in Texas and a student in United's Doctor of Ministry Program. Madeline tells us about  her own journey into a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God and how she learned about the powerful gifts of the Spirit which are available to all believers. This episode was recorded LIVE at our DMin intensive. 

On this episode we're joined by Dr. Tom Jones of Global Awakening. Dr. Jones talks about how God called him into this ministry, how he struggled with God's timing, and how God has been faithful to his promises. We recorded this LIVE at our DMin intensive (so that's why the sound is not fantastic). Enjoy! 

Dr. Joni Sancken, Associate Professor of Homiletics at United Theological Seminary, joins us LIVE from United's Doctor of Ministry intensive. (That's why the sound is kind of tinny.) We talk about preaching, and, in particular, preaching in times of crisis and trauma. 

Maggie, Scott, and David take on the relationship of faith and reason. Are these opposed to each other? Are they compatible? If so, how? We also talk about the field of Christian apologetics, and we find out that Scott has a real thing against Thor worshipers. 

Dr. Russell Richey, currently a visiting professor at Duke Divinity School, sat down with us for a great conversation about bishops. Dr. Richey is dean emeritus of Candler School of Theology and William R. Cannon Distinguished Professor of Church History Emeritus, Emory University. He is widely considered the premier historian of American Methodism. If you're a Methonerd, you'll love this one!
