In this second episode of a two-part series, (for part 1 click here) we explore The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a concise and influential 1,700‑word confession that articulates the historic Christian understanding of Scripture as God’s authoritative and trustworthy revelation.

Within Wesleyan circles, many have never encountered this document directly. After noticing this gap, and the blank stares I often get when referencing it, I decided it was time to devote two episodes to simply reading the statement and offering accessible commentary.

To guide the conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Matt O’Reilly, who has appeared on the podcast multiple times over the last five years. Together, we walk through the text, highlight its insights, and consider why Wesleyans should be familiar with this important articulation of inerrancy.

In this episode:

• Why the Chicago Statement remains influential
• How it reflects the classical Christian approach to Scripture
• Why Wesleyans benefit from engaging it
• Guided reading + theological commentary
• How inerrancy fits within a broader doctrine of revelation

Why was Jesus baptized? And what does it mean that the Holy Spirit descended on him? In this episode of the More to the Story podcast, I’m joined by Steve Blakemore, theologian, and Murray Vasser, New Testament scholar, for a conversation about one of the most intriguing moments in the Gospels. Together, we explore why Jesus, who Christians confess as sinless, submitted to baptism, and how the Spirit’s descent at the Jordan reveals key aspects of Jesus’s identity, mission, and relationship to Israel and the Father. This episode invites listeners to move beyond familiar answers and into the deeper theological and biblical meaning of Jesus’s baptism, and why it still matters today.
