'What has too often been separated—truth and holiness, knowledge and life—must once again be held together in the witness of the Church. Apologetics Calmly Considered: A Wesleyan Vision of Truth, Formation, and Christian Witness argues that Christian apologetics should be understood not only as the defense of doctrine, but as a formative practice ordered toward holy love, faithful discipleship, and credible Christian witness.'

Today, in a joint effort with Jeffrey Rickman from PlainSpoken, we interview the author of Apologetics Camly Considered, Todd Christine and explore what apologetics should look like in a Wesleyan context. Find the link for Todd's book below.

Crossing the Discipleship Chasm: How To Turn Crowds Into People Who Follow Jesus ~ A interview with Pastor Matt Lake.

This may feel like the reality of today's ministry landscape. Helping others follow Jesus is no longer straightforward; the path often seems blocked by cultural obstacles. But we cannot stay where we are. What's needed is a higher way-a path that rises above the challenges, strong enough to support your journey, yet flexible enough to adapt to the changing terrain.

In Crossing the Discipleship Chasm, pastor and consultant Matt Lake, draws from deep experience in ministry to introduce a transformative approach that revives the original mission of the church: adaptive discipleship. Grounded in thorough research and tested relationships, his method offers a way forward.

Rev. Dale Shunk

Director of the WCA International Intercessory Prayer Network.

Bio: The Rev. Dale Shunk is a retired elder in the Western Pennsylvania Conference of The United Methodist Church, and has since joined in the work of the Wesleyan Covenant Association. He now leads the WCA’s International Intercessory Prayer Network.

Topic Description: Rev. Carolyn Moore, Wesleyan Covenant Association and Global Methodist Church Pastor and Transitional Council Leader Global Council, writes: “More than two years ago, we launched the International Intercessory Prayer Network, calling for intercessors to gather in every regional chapter. We now have intercessory groups all over the world, crying out for God to move among us. Every month, intercessors meet by Zoom to seek the Holy Spirit’s leading and listen for the voice of God as we discern the future of the Global Methodist Church.”

The IIPN wants every church that finds themselves in the valley of decision and struggle at this moment to join in prayer with us. Rev. Shunk joins with us on our consultant team to guide you in that effort. Join us!

In interview with Tanner Strunk, Joseph Cassidy, Patrick Cluff & Hayden Mussi discussing the Reconquista movement and, more specifically, the efforts being made to recapture the orthodox, traditional Wesleyan faith by staying, standing and fighting inside the United Methodist Church.

(Sorry for the occasional keystroking. it only lasts just a little bit).

This is a movement to take back the church from the progressive slide she has been on for these last several decades. These young leaders have decided not to leave but to stay, to stand and to be that witness for the faith once given to the saints.

Catch The Catechism Episode 14 Question #13 How does God reconcile us in Christ?

An interview with Pastor Tim Parker, Associate Pastor of the Oakdale Church. Oakdale was faced with a 4 million dollar demand to disaffiliate from the UMC. In an amazing 5 weeks, Oakdale witnessed seeing what God can accomplish through their obedience and sacrifice! As of September 25th, God has raised about $1.55 million in cash with almost $1 million committed for the next 3 years! About 200 Oakdale families are represented in these numbers along with partners from around the nation. Tim shares an incredible story of displayed faith from the congregation itself as it faced insurmountable odds. It was just one faith story after another that allowed this church to meet the goal to disaffiliate.
