About this listen

In this New Year’s episode of the Dulin Weekly Podcast, Pastor James Henry invites listeners into a Wesleyan practice of intentional reflection and covenanting through the Wesley Covenant Prayer. Rooted in United Methodist tradition, the reflection explores how the prayer offers a way to set the spiritual tone for the year ahead by acknowledging that our lives belong to God and are meant to be offered back in faithful action. James emphasizes that authentic faith, as John Wesley insisted, is not merely intellectual or habitual but lived out through concrete acts of love, service, justice, and compassion—especially toward those who are hungry, imprisoned, or marginalized in visible and invisible ways. As the year begins, listeners are encouraged to let go of what no longer calls them and to courageously open themselves to what God may be inviting them to do, trusting that even small, quiet acts of faithfulness can participate in God’s transforming work in the world.
