  Episode 34 – Beyond the Walls: Becoming a Missional Church

  Aug 29, 202643 minS1

  The church doesn't exist for itself. It exists for the transformation of the world. In this episode, Brian and Jenn welcome Heidi Aspinwall, Director of Missions and Justice at Hyde Park United Methodist Church in Tampa, to explore what it means to be a truly missional church. Together they unpack the Great Commission beyond its colonial baggage, trace the outward-facing heart of Wesley's "the world is my parish," and walk through five practical buckets of missional engagement: from evangelism and service to cross-cultural pilgrimage, disaster relief, and justice. Whether your church has several thousand members or a couple dozen, this conversation offers grounding for the faithful, sustainable work of joining God's mission right where you live. Show Notes 1:30 — Heidi's call to missional ministry 4:07 — Rethinking the Great Commission 9:02 — Wesley's "World Is My Parish" and five missional buckets 17:58 — Works of piety and works of mercy, holding them together For more information on the year-long Awaken to Grace series, visit awakenedtograce.org .

  Episode 33 – The Art of Bearing Burdens: Real Fellowship and Caring

  Aug 7, 202642 minS1

  What does it mean to truly bear one another's burdens. Not just a check in, but really show up? In this episode, Brian Myers and Jenn Stiles Williams welcome Margaret Myers, Adult Ministries Coordinator at Trinity United Methodist Church in Gainesville, to explore what biblical fellowship actually looks like in practice. From affinity groups that create instant belonging, to a Sunday school class that wrapped years of faithful care around a member in crisis, this conversation moves from theology to the tender, practical work of soul care and reminds us that sometimes the most powerful thing we can offer is simply our presence. Show Notes: 1:21 — Margaret's introduction and role at Trinity UMC 4:23 — Biblical fellowship vs. casual friendliness 9:54 — Affinity groups and the belong-believe-become pattern 18:03 — Sunday school class as a model of sustained care 33:30 — Celebrating life's joys together as a church family Produced by Wesley's Revival, a ministry of Studio Wesley.

  Episode 30 – Beyond Sunday Morning: Cultivating a Life of Worship

  Jul 24, 202643 minS1

  Worship is more than songs on Sunday, it's a whole-life response to the greatness and goodness of God. In this episode, Brian Myers and Rev. Jenn Stiles Williams welcome Sofia Friedley Fernandez , worship ethics specialist with the Institute for Modern Worship, to explore what true worship really is. Drawing from Romans 12:1, the theology of liturgy, and Sophia's own pioneering work in contemporary worship ethics, the conversation unpacks the difference between presence and performance, why we shouldn't show up to church empty, and how the patterns we rehearse on Sunday are forming us the other six days of the week. Show Notes 1:25 — Sophia's three roles: worship, youth, and worship ethics 6:11 — Defining true worship: presence, response, and open hands 13:44 — Performance vs. authenticity in corporate worship 19:00 — The ethics of emotional manipulation in worship spaces 26:57 — Daily liturgy: how habits become character 32:00 — Worship tethered to justice, mercy, and humility For more information on the year-long Awaken to Grace series, visit awakentograce.org .
