    Every Methodist an Evangelist with Ryan Barnett

    In this episode, I am joined by Ryan Barnett, Chief Operating Officer of the Mid-Texas Global Methodist Church Conference, to discuss the recently released book Christ for All: Every Methodist an Evangelist, which Ryan edited. Our conversation explores the theological and practical vision behind the book and why evangelism sits at the very center of historic Methodism. We also reflect on why this book is being received so well at this particular stage in the life of the Global Methodist Church. As Ryan explains, the GMC’s emerging identity and shared theological commitments have created space for renewed clarity and common purpose around evangelism, something that proved difficult in earlier denominational settings. We conclude by looking ahead to the future of the GMC and what it might mean to move forward with unity, missional focus, and confidence in the church’s calling.

    The Reason for Church with Brad Edwards

    In this episode of More to the Story, I sit down with Brad Edwards, author of the award-winning The Reason for Church. Brad offers a compelling vision for why Christian institutions still matter in an age marked by individualism and skepticism toward organized religion. Drawing on his experience as a church planter, he explains how many today are open to God but hesitant about the church itself. Brad challenges the assumption that institutions are inherently restrictive, arguing instead that they provide the “durable and formative structures” necessary for faithful Christian life together. The conversation also explores the rise of consumerism in church culture, the weakening pipeline for pastoral leadership, and the need for long-term, faithful institution-building. This episode will help pastors and leaders recover a biblical vision of the church as the people of God—formed through shared practices, worship, and community.

    A New Testament Scholar’s Calling with David deSilva

    In this episode of More to the Story, I’m joined by New Testament scholar Dr. David A. deSilva for a rich and fun conversation about faith, vocation, and theological formation. Dr. deSilva shares his personal calling to serve the church as a scholar and reflects on how his academic work has been shaped by a desire to build up the people of God. We explore his major areas of research in the New Testament and early Christianity (commentaries, apocryphal, and archaeological studies). Along the way, David tells the story of how God gradually led him into Wesleyan theology and Methodism, helping him see the deep coherence between his scholarly commitments and a tradition shaped by holiness, grace, and discipleship. This episode is warm and genuinely fun—a conversation with someone whose work has made a lasting contribution to both the academy and the church.

    Why a New Systematic Theology? with Tom McCall & Jason Vickers

    In this episode of the More to the Story Podcast, I’m joined by theologians Tom McCall and Jason Vickers to discuss their new book, Love Divine: A Wesleyan Systematic Theology, recently published by Eerdmans. Why write a full-scale and one-volume Wesleyan systematic theology now? Tom and Jason reflect on what gave rise to this project, and on the need for a doctrinal work that is both deeply rooted in the Wesleyan tradition and fully engaged with the broader Christian theological conversation. They explain how Love Divine seeks to bring clarity and rigor to core Christian doctrines while remaining attentive to Scripture, the classical creeds, and the needs of the contemporary church. We also talk about the audiences they had most clearly in view. The book is written to serve students who are being formed theologically for ministry, as well as pastors who need a reliable doctrinal resource that connects theology to preaching, teaching, worship, and Christian life.

    The Antioch Connection: Reimagining Wesleyan Communities with Andrew Thompson

    In this episode of More to the Story, I sit down with Dr. Andrew Thompson to explore a major development unfolding within the Wesleyan world. Dr. Thompson has been part of the leadership team shaping the Antioch Connection, a new denominational‑like network forming among roughly 25 churches across Oklahoma and Arkansas. We dig into: • Why these churches are seeking a new structural model • How the Antioch Connection emerged and what it hopes to accomplish • The theological and missional convictions driving this movement • What this moment reveals about the broader landscape of Wesleyan bodies • How church structure can either hinder or unleash mission This is an energizing conversation about innovation, ecclesial identity, and the future of Methodist ministry. If you care about how the church organizes itself for mission, you’ll find this episode especially meaningful.

    Good News About Self-Care with Benjamin Espinoza

    In this episode of More to the Story, I’m joined by Benjamin Espinoza to discuss his timely new book, Good News About Self-Care. We talk honestly about exhaustion, hustle culture, and the quiet pressure many pastors and leaders feel to always be “on.” Espinoza reframes self-care not as indulgence, but as faithful resistance—rooted in Sabbath, Scripture, and grace-filled rhythms. Our conversation explores how rest, boundaries, and relational health are not optional extras, but essential to spiritual formation and holiness. Drawing from Wesleyan theology and lived pastoral experience, Espinoza calls us to honor the image of God in ourselves and others by rejecting burnout as a badge of faithfulness. This episode is for pastors, leaders, and anyone longing for a deeper, more theologically grounded vision of rest. Self-care, as Espinoza shows, is not about escape—it’s about becoming the person God created us to be.
