About this listen
In this episode of the Dulin Weekly Podcast, Pastor James Henry begins the new year by introducing a short series on the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, focusing first on experience as a foundational way people encounter and understand God. Drawing on Wesleyan theology, scripture, and lived reality, James reflects on how faith is not formed abstractly but emerges through the concrete experiences of our lives—shaped by our stories, wounds, joys, and bodies. He challenges the idea of pure objectivity in faith, noting that we always approach scripture, tradition, and reason through the lens of experience, and emphasizes that God meets us where we are through prevenient grace, accompanying us in every moment of life. Encouraging listeners not to diminish their own experiences, James affirms that God is present in the good, the bad, and the ordinary, inviting healing and transformation through lived encounter. The episode sets the stage for upcoming reflections on reason, tradition, and scripture, while grounding the conversation in the everyday reality of how faith is truly lived.
