More to the Story with Andy Miller III

On Today’s Podcast - Learn how Methodism became a worldwide mission. It is broadly understood that John Wesley was the founder of the Methodist movement that spread around the world in the eighteenth century. He is known for being a missionary in Georgia, his “heart-warming” experience at Aldersgate, field preaching, and the famous quote “the world is my parish.” It is also assumed that Wesley was...

Our theology is too small. Something big is missing, and the Good News is compromised. God has “an everlasting covenant” with the Earth (Genesis 9:12-17). What would happen if Christian theology took this seriously, literally? And if we looked at Jesus through God’s Earth covenant, and at this covenant through Jesus? This book by today’s podcast guest, Howard Snyder, tackles that question. Youtube...

Building on last week’s conversation with Daniel Hill, I spoke with David Emerton about his systematic theological approach to ecclesiology. He outlines key distinctions between divine essence and human agency and uses these to frame four models of the church. David proposes a concept he calls "ecclesiological ecclesiology," which reframes how we talk about and live out what it means to be the chu...

What does it mean to have a public witness to Jesus Christ? Daniel Hill brings clarity to this question by drawing on the lives of three key abolitionists—David Ruggles, Maria W. Stewart, and William Still—figures often recognized more for their political or philosophical contributions than their spiritual convictions. Hill shows how their Christian faith shaped their public engagement, offering t...
