Travis Johnson joins Johnathan Arnold and David Fry to discuss Matthew 27:46, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

1. Why does Jesus quote Psalm 22:1 from the cross?
2. Is there a break or separation between the Father and the Son on the cross?
3. Does Jesus bear the wrath of God on the cross?
4. Why is important for pastors to address the myth that the Father utterly forsook the Son?

Johnathan Arnold and David Fry discuss catechesis and the forthcoming adult catechism from Holy Joys.

NOTE: Since recording this podcast, the title "New Methodist Catechism" has been reconsidered. We have had numerous non-Wesleyan churches interested in using the catechism, and the possibility of a major global partnership with churches that are either non-Wesleyan or Wesleyan but cautious about front-loading the word "Methodist" while navigating the ongoing denominational upheaval and confusion in the Wesleyan tradition. The catechism will still heavily highlight the contributions of Wesley and the Wesleyan tradition alongside other Protestants and church fathers, and in this way serve many of our original goals (perhaps better). Stay tuned for more information.
