    Cuatro Jones, Exegia Research Suite [Ep. 10]

    Rev. Christ & Rev. Joel interview Cuatro Jones, a seminarian who is also a software developer. Creating the Exegia Research Suite out of a desire to make not just Scripture, but the Church Fathers available in the 21st Century, he has built an amazing tool for anyone, from laity to scholar to read and research Scripture and the earliest voices in the Church. Cuatro also shares his thoughts on how we need to go about understanding Wesley, and how doing so in his own context could be the balance needed in a rapidly changing age where people are looking for the grounded reality of the historic church.

    Spiritual Disciplines [Ep. 3]

    In this episode, we explore the rich world of the spiritual disciplines through the lens of Richard Foster’s transformative framework. From inward practices like prayer, meditation, and fasting to outward disciplines such as simplicity, solitude, and service, we uncover how these ancient habits cultivate deeper intimacy with God, clearer vision for daily life, and a more compassionate presence in the world. Join us as we break down practical steps, share real-life stories, and discuss how disciplined, joy-filled rhythms can reorient our hearts amid busyness, distraction, and doubt. Whether you’re a newcomer to spiritual practices or looking to deepen your routine, this conversation offers accessible guidance, thoughtful reflections, and a pathway to a more attentive, generous life.

    What is a Pastor? [Ep 2]

    In this episode, Joel & Chris recover the historic vision of the pastor as both shepherd and priest—one who cares for souls, proclaims the Word, and stands in the gap between God and His people. Drawing from Scripture, the early Church, and Wesleyan tradition, we explore how pastoral ministry is more than leadership—it is a sacred calling. They also consider what this means within the Free Methodist movement today: how pastors embody holiness, spiritual authority, and personal care in a way that is both rooted in tradition and alive for the Church’s mission.
