The Methodist Church has split and one side is growing fast. In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany Cocker unpack the theological roots of Methodism, why nearly 5,000 churches have joined the Global Methodist movement (a fairly new denomination), and what makes this tradition so distinct in today's world. They explore the historical foundations of Methodism, the influence of John and Charles Wesley and George Whitefield, and how the movement developed across England and the American colonies.Here's What We Discussed:00:33 – The Roots of MethodismHow the term “Methodist” began as a slur, and how the Wesley brothers and George Whitefield formed a movement focused on prayer, discipline, and Scriptural devotion.03:04 – John Wesley in AmericaJohn Wesley's short-lived ministry in colonial Georgia and how his personal struggles helped shape the future of Methodism.05:58 – Charles Wesley's HymnsCharles Wesley's theological influence through music, and why his hymns remain central to Methodist worship today.10:06 – George Whitefield's Evangelistic ReachA look at Whitefield's powerful preaching ministry, which reached an estimated 80% of colonial America, and his foundational role in the Methodist revival.13:05 – United vs. Global Methodist: The Modern SplitKey reasons behind the recent division, including differing views on biblical authority and Scriptural application.17:11 – A Typical Methodist Worship ServiceWhat to expect on a Sunday in a Methodist church: a blend of liturgy, creeds, music (both hymns and contemporary), and Scripture-based preaching.20:10 – Church Leadership & Governance An overview of the Methodist church's conference-based structure, role of bishops, and lay participation in decision-making.22:05 – Wesleyan Theology & Sanctification What “Christian perfection” really means in Methodist theology, and why the emphasis on sanctification and personal salvation sets this tradition apart.Key Quote:“One of the things that sets Wesleyan theology apart is John Wesley's view on what came to be known as Christian perfection, or entire sanctification. Wesley didn't teach that Christians become sinless in this life, but that we can, through God's grace, grow into full maturity in Christ. That means being wholly devoted to God and to loving others. The deeper you go into the sanctification process, the less you're going to sin.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe love your feedback! If you enjoyed this episode, leave us a review.

This episode offers an enlightening look into "Scriptural Holiness," a core emphasis within the Global Methodist Church, as articulated in recent teachings by its bishops. Shiloh Church of Jasper's Pastor Dan guides us through this profound concept, beginning with a look at scriptures from Exodus and Leviticus to uncover the nature of God's holiness. We will then explore discipleship, framed as an apprenticeship, as the practical way to embrace and embody this holiness in our daily lives. Through relatable anecdotes and insightful reflections, we'll discover how our progress in holiness impacts our personal growth and our capacity to transmit God's love and light to others. Prepare to be challenged and inspired to consider your next steps on this journey of living out your faith in accordance with this vital teaching.

What do worship, structure, and doctrine look like in the Global Methodist Church? Pastor Jeff Cranston sit down with Dr. Scott Pattison to unpack what makes this growing denomination unique. From diverse worship styles to strong theological alignment and global expansion, this episode gives you a front-row seat to what's happening inside the Global Methodist movement—and why so many churches are joining.Here's What We Discussed:00:17 – What a Global Methodist Worship Service Looks LikeExpect variety: from high liturgy with robes and incense to modern worship and house churches. While styles differ, the theology remains consistent and biblically grounded.05:20 – Communion in the Global Methodist ChurchCommunion is open to all believers, with grape juice and bread as symbols of Christ's body and blood. Churches may serve it weekly, monthly, or quarterly—local leadership decides.07:32 – Understanding Baptism: Symbolism Over FormGlobal Methodists baptize infants and adults, using sprinkling, pouring, or immersion. What matters most is the individual's profession of faith and the church's support of their spiritual journey.10:16 – Church Structure and LeadershipThe denomination has bishops, conference superintendents, and presiding elders. Local churches are seen not as landing sites but as launching pads for gospel mission.13:00 – Global Growth and VisionWith nearly 5,000 churches worldwide and growing, the Global Methodist Church is expanding across Africa, the Philippines, Europe, and beyond. The goal? Make disciples of Jesus and spread scriptural holiness across the globe.Key Quote:"The Global Methodist Church exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ, to spread scriptural holiness across the globe, and make a difference for the sake of Christ." – Dr. Scott PattisonWe love your feedback!

This episode drops on the first day of the Mega-Manila Annual Conference, where Dr. Luther Oconer presides as Conference Superintendent in the Global Methodist Church. So its fitting that we should listen to him today and get excited about the kind of faith and leadership that is leading that Conference.  Luther Oconer currently serves on the faculty of Asbury Theological Seminary, as an officer with the Wesleyan Theological Society, in addition to his role within the GMC. His focus as an academic is on movements … like the Holiness movement, the Pentecostal and charismatic movements, and church renewal in general. His book, Spirit-Filled Protestantism: Holiness-Pentecostal Revivals and the Making of Filipino Methodist Identity was awarded the Wesleyan Theological Society's Timothy L. Smith and Mildred Bangs Wynkoop Book of the Year Award in 2018. We wanted to talk to Luther because he not only has studied Spirit-filled Methodism, but has lived it, so we hope you learn that's good a lot from this episode.
