About this listen
In this episode, Senior Pastor Rev. James Williams and Communications Director Julia Curran explore the history of Methodism to help unpack how the denomination arrived at its current crossroads. The first half of the podcast dives into the life of John Wesley, sharing some surprising facts about his ministry, the origins of Methodism, and what it truly means to be "Wesleyan."
The second half shifts to the formation of the United Methodist Church, the crisis it has faced over the past decade, and personal reflections on walking through that season. Pastor James shares candid insights, making this a meaningful episode to learn from and lean into. Whether you're new to these ideas or have been Methodist your whole life, we believe you’ll find it both clarifying and thought-provoking.
