The Art of Holiness Seedbed

In February, 2023, Zach Meerkreebs -- writer, speaker, & Pastor in Residence at Asbury University -- preached a solid but "normal" message at a morning chapel service at AU. Chapel was dismissed and most students moved on to class ... but some lingered to reflect on the message and what God was doing in their lives. By that afternoon, the chapel was beginning to fill up again with students who were sensing a move of the Spirit. By the end of this outpouring, Asbury's chapel was overflowing with folks from around the world. This incredible phenomenon -- and all that has happened in the year since --  is what Zach and I sat down to discuss.

Ivan Filby is one of my favorite people in the world, He has a prophetic gift that bears such good fruit, and he has lived most of his call at a unique intersection of church, academia, and the business world. Today, he serves as the CEO of Seedbed (that's the publishing house birthed by Asbury that has published most of my books, so yeah ... I'm a fan). I love this conversation about publishing, prophecy, and holiness. I hope you listen.  

Suzanne Nicholson is a professor at Asbury University. She received her Ph.D. in New Testament Studies from the University of Durham in England, an M.Div. at Asbury Theological Seminary, and a B.A., magna cum laude, in journalism from the University of Minnesota. Dr. Nicholson is an elder in the Global Methodist Church, and in this podcast she talks to us about how Wesleyans read the Bible. Its a great conversation, and includes Bob Kaylor, a new cohost for AoH. Thanks for listening!

Dr. Ryan Danker is the Director of the John Wesley Institute, which is part of the Institute on Religion and Democracy. Danker is an author, historian, and Wesley scholar committed to the Wesleyan vision. He has some great books, like Wesley and the Anglicans: Political Division in Early Evangelicalism; and edited another one on Exploring a Wesleyan Political Theology. He has published articles in all kinds of professional journals.  Today he talks about The School of Methodism, a very cool new initiative he's working with some very cool colleagues. 

This is a special episode. Its just Pierce and Carolyn, talking about the last three years of podcasting together, and about the nature of transitions. This will be Pierce's last episode on AoH. The podcast continues after this week with Carolyn, some occasional co-hosts and a fresh focus on Spirit-filled Methodism.  So much gratitude for Pierce and his idea to do this together ... 

Friends, this is a deep and beautiful conversation with a man who has found faith in the fire and who has borne such fruit for the Kingdom. Rich Wilson is the founder of the Fusion Movement, reaching college students for Christ in the UK and US. You'll appreciate Rich's story and and the depth of his wisdom. And this is the last of our New Room 2023 podcasts ... we didn't want you to miss any of the "good!"
