Ministry in the Newly Distanced Church (Part 1) by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes June 8, 2020

Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5

A Response To Recent Events In The United States by Kim Reisman

World Methodist Evangelism June 2, 2020

Events in the United States often impact the rest of the world. Though World Methodist Evangelism is a global organization working through a network of 80 million Methodist Wesleyans in over 130 countries; I feel it is important to speak out on the current unrest unfolding in the US. I have been trying to mentally and emotionally process what has

Reckoning Before Revival by Elizabeth Glass-Turner

elizabeth.turner May 30, 2020

There is a reckoning unfolding that we would avoid if we could – unless we are one of the people who have been crying out for it, praying for it, watching the horizon for it. But the people who pray for revival and the people who pray for reckoning aren’t always the same. In the open air of summer camp

“Overwhelmed”: How Our Pastors Are Coping With The Pandemic

Wesleyan Accent May 27, 2020

A Note From The Editor: Recently I asked clergy members from several Wesleyan Methodist denominations in the United States about what it’s been like coping with a pandemic. Ministers in other parts of the world have experienced these dynamics before, and pastors a hundred years ago went through this in America. For many church leaders in the U.S., these have

A Prayer For Burning Grace: Protocols & Pentecost by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner May 22, 2020

Pastors and denominational leaders face tough decisions right now. The Christian faith is inherently embodied; we gather, we meet, we celebrate the Incarnation – the Word Made Flesh. For millenia, we’ve celebrated the Eucharist, finding Christ’s presence in the tangible – wine and bread, a burning grace. The Christian faith is also inherently self-sacrificial; we mend, we serve, we search

Fishing Through The Disappointment Of Empty Nets by Edgar Bazan

Edgar Bazan May 15, 2020

It was after Easter. The disciples were told to wait for Jesus in Galilee. But did they have to wait by sitting and doing nothing? “I’m going fishing,” said Peter. And why not? It made perfect sense. Fishing was their livelihood. They may as well make some money while waiting. So they all piled into a boat and shoved off.

How to Communicate Change in Church Policy During Chaotic Times by Priscilla Hammond

Priscilla Hammond May 11, 2020

If you are you struggling to make decisions about policy and how to communicate those decisions to your church during this chaotic time, you are not alone. In this new normal of remote church, much consumes our day-to-day activities. It is difficult to plan and communicate future steps.

When the Holy Spirit Reaches Us through Others by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman June 7, 2017

Integrity as a core value of authentic evangelism is not only about our integrity, but about the integrity of others as well and allows space for the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

The Better Place (Part 1) by Cole Bodkin

Cole Bodkin June 7, 2017

Airborne illness. War. Overpopulation. Mass chaos. Environmental disaster. Oppressive dictators. All of these – and more – are cataclysmic triggers for a dystopian society. If you’re catching up with American publishing, television, and film, the genre of “dystopia” has flooded the entertainment industry. For many, it’s becoming a little repetitive and mundane; but like it or not, people are fascinated,

If the church as a whole is not working together to live out the truth of the gospel, then the warrior of God will become emaciated.

Leanness Of The Soul by Andy Stoddard

Andy Stoddard May 25, 2017

I truly love the book of Psalms.  They are so honest, capturing the joy of faith, the struggle of pain, anger, everything.  I love Psalms. Today’s readings have us in Psalm 106.  And I think there’s something very important for us to hear.  Listen to what we are told in Psalm 106: 12-15: Then they believed his words and sang him

Praying Persistently by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman May 24, 2017

Prayer is asking. It is a request. But here is the difficult truth: all prayer is answered but not all requests are granted.

Boundaries, Barriers And Pastoral Leadership by Aaron Perry

Aaron Perry May 24, 2017

Now that the heat sparked from the light shed on Vice President Mike Pence’s personal rules of not attending cocktail parties without his wife and of not dining alone with women has dwindled, let’s take a few moments to reflect more evenly on the practice of personal rules and boundaries in opposite-sex professional relationships in the pastoral context.
