What kind of Methodism will emerge over the next generation? In this episode of More to the Story, I talk with Pete Bellini of United Theological Seminary about his thought-provoking article, “Which Methodism?” Bellini explores key theological and ecclesial questions facing the Global Methodist Church and outlines five possible trajectories the movement could follow in the next 25 years. Our conversation examines identity, doctrine, discipleship, leadership, and the challenges of building a faithful Wesleyan future. Whether you are a pastor, theologian, or engaged layperson, this discussion offers important insights into the future of global Methodism.Youtube - https://youtu.be/anam5stwvycAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4Read the article here: Which Methodism?If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude and Heaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Daniel and Harry are joined by Gila Pfeffer, author of Nearly Departed, to discuss Zach Braff's 2004 indie darling Garden State, directed by and starring Braff alongside Natalie Portman and Peter Sarsgaard.The trio debates whether the film is "actually" Jewish or just Jewish-coded, digging into Ian Holm's distant Jewish father, the humorous Doctor Cohn, and how two decades of over-prescribed lithium leave Andrew frozen in grief.They talk through the funeral and Shiva scenes as the real emotional catalyst of the film, Portman's Sam as a defining "manic pixie dream girl," and Gila's own perspective on Jewish mourning rituals as an Orthodox writer. As always, they close out with some stretch-of-the-pod theories — mikvah bathtubs and Holocaust reparations included — before rating the film's Jewishness on their 1 to 5 scale.Gila's LinksBuy Gila's Book Nearly DepartedFollow Gila on InstagramSubscribe to Gila's SubstackConnect with Jews on Film online:Jews on Film Merch - https://jews-on-film.printify.me/productsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jewsonfilm/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jewsonfilmpodYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jewsonfilmTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jewsonfilmpod

Kathryn (Kati) Kraft is a sociologist whose work explores faith, child spirituality and human flourishing, particularly in contexts of vulnerability and displacement. A self-described third culture kid, Kati was born in the United States, spent much of her childhood in Brazil, later lived in Syria and Lebanon, and eventually made her home in England. In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, she reflects on growing up in a deeply Christian environment, how friendships with Muslims in Syria challenged and expanded her understanding of faith, and how asking questions rather than making assumptions eventually shaped her career as a researcher. Now Senior Lecturer in Social Sciences at the University of East London, Kati previously served as Senior Research Advisor for Faith and Development at World Vision International. Our conversation turns especially to what adults can learn when we genuinely listen to children. Kati describes research involving 658 children whose answers about what mattered to them came back to something remarkably simple: love and loving relationships. We talk about children's spirituality, human flourishing, why adults and researchers are often not very good at listening to children, and why children's experiences cannot always be reduced to indicators or statistics. Kati also reflects on the SDGs and Inner Development Goals, the role of spirituality in development, and her recently edited open-access book, Children, Religion, and Development: Perspectives on Spirituality in Practice, which brings together scholars from different religious traditions while asking what practitioners across traditions can learn from them. The conversation also becomes personal as Kati talks about transition, hope, a memorable experience in an Orthodox church, and the song Faith More Precious Than Gold, which found her during a difficult moment. Listener Engagement: Learn more about Kati and her work via her LinkedIn. You can also read or download her open-access book, Children, Religion, and Development: Perspectives on Spirituality in Practice, which brings together different religious perspectives on children's spirituality and their implications for development practice.

Join the show with a TEXT here!We're back to our regular programming and diving straight into a growing trend in the theology space: the emotional drift that leads many toward Rome and the East. Across prominent RC and EO apologists, and even among friends and family, the pattern is strikingly similar. There's a catalyst that starts the journey: a rejection of God's sovereignty and a discomfort with the Doctrines of Grace.Today we're unpacking how surrendering God's monergistic work in salvation opens the door to man‑centered theology, conversion syndrome, and ultimately a departure from biblical Christianity. If you've wrestled with God's role in salvation, whether you're Catholic, Orthodox, or an Evangelical uneasy with God's decree, this conversation is for you. Let's look honestly at why we believe what we believe, what Scripture actually teaches, and how a cohesive theology of salvation keeps us anchored in Christ alone. Grab your Bible, settle in, and let's talk.

“Are Eucharistic beliefs just medieval superstition?” This question opens a discussion on the nature of Transubstantiation and its significance in Catholic faith. Additional topics include the appropriateness of receiving the Eucharist in the hand, the validity of communion in other churches, and the conversion process for those drawn to Catholicism. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 00:45 – Are Eucharistic beliefs such as Transubstantiation just medieval superstition or sophistry? 16:09 – I've heard it argued that its improper to receive the Eucharist on the hand. Is this true? 21:14 – My faith side believes but my logical/ protestant side makes me not one to accept. Where do we hear Jesus in the bible that Jesus makes this into his body and not just us wanting to do it as a remembrance? 29:21 – Why isn't communion valid in other churches except for us and the Orthodox? 34:02 – I'm convinced by Catholicism but I still live with my parents. What’s the conversion process? 39:29 – Is there a medical problem if a person with Celiac takes a host? If it’s changed will it negatively affect them? 44:32 – Is it true that the apostles had a meal before receiving the eucharist? If so, why do we have to fast before receiving communion? 46:53 – I'm a former baptist minister. Do I have to go to confession before going to communion?

Kenneth B., writer of Becoming Orthodox, joins me for a great conversation about his journey to the Orthodox Church and what he's learned along the way. We get into Scripture and Tradition, the saints, the Theotokos, the ancient Jewish world Christianity emerged from, and why more young people seem to be searching for something deeper than what modern Christianity and culture are offering. We also talk about the danger of being right—especially for Orthodox converts. Finding the ancient Church doesn't mean our job is to beat everyone we love over the head with it. Sometimes we speak the truth, live the faith, love people where they are, and trust the Holy Spirit to do what we can't. It's a very beautiful conversation about discovering Orthodoxy, living the faith, and what it actually means to become Orthodox.

Born in Syria, he was a shepherd, but at the age of eighteen he left home and became a monk, practicing the strictest asceticism. At times he fasted for forty days. After a few years at a monastery he took up an ascetical discipline unique at that time: mounting a pillar, he stood on it night and day in prayer. Though he sought only seclusion and prayer, his holiness became famous, and thousands would make pilgrimage to receive a word from him or to touch his garments. Countless nomadic Arabs came to faith in Christ through the power of his example and prayers. To retreat further from the world, he used progressively taller pillars: his first pillar was about ten feet high, his final one about fifty. He was known also for the soundness of his counsel: he confirned the Orthodox doctrine at the Council of Chalcedon and persuaded the Empress Eudocia, who had been seduced by Monophysite beliefs, to return to the true Christian faith. After about forty years lived in asceticism, he reposed in peace at the age of sixty-nine.   He was at first suspected of taking up his way of life out of pride, but his monastic brethren confirmed his humility thus: They went to him as a group, and told him that the brotherhood had decided that he should come down from his pillar and rejoin them. Immediately he began to climb down from the pillar. Seeing his obedience and humility, they told him to remain with their blessing.

 The World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation is observed each year on September 1. Pope Francis established it for the Catholic Church in 2015, joining a practice already observed in the Orthodox tradition. It is a day to thank God for the gift of creation, pray for the protection of the earth, and reflect on how we can better care for our common home. 

We speak with John T. Harvey about a new article he co-wrote with Billy Saas titled, “A Rhetorical History of Modern Money Theory,” out this month in the September 2026 issue of the Journal of Economic Issues. Harvey is Hal Wright Professor of Economics at Texas Christian University. We discuss his recent publication in the context of his broader career in heterodox economics. Modern Money Theory (MMT) (otherwise known as Modern Monetary Theory) is a heterodox macroeconomic school of thought that recognizes currency-issuing governments cannot run out of the money they create. Because the state issues the currency and requires taxes to be paid in that unit of account, it is never revenue-constrained. Instead, public spending is bound only by real productive capacity and available resources (labor, technology, materials), with inflation—not solvency—serving as the true economic limit.In “A Rhetorical History of Modern Money Theory,” Saas and Harvey trace how MMT emerged not merely as a set of first principles, balance-sheet descriptions, and policy prescriptions, but also as a deliberate discursive and rhetorical intervention against dominant neoclassical paradigms and institutions. Orthodox economics relies heavily on moralizing metaphors of household frugality, naturalized market scarcity, and the false specter of government insolvency to enforce fiscal austerity. In response, MMT theorists developed new vocabularies, pedagogies, and public-facing rhetorical strategies to demystify money as a creature of law and public governance, demonstrating how public finance can be reclaimed for democratic purpose.Throughout our conversation, Harvey reflects on the communicative struggles of heterodox economists, the pedagogical challenges of unseating entrenched neoclassical assumptions, the relationship between Post-Keynesian and Institutionalist traditions, and what a rhetorical history reveals about the future of political economy and public provisioning.Visit our Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/MoLsuperstructureMusic by Nahneen Kula: www.nahneenkula.com

Most practicing Jews in the United States fall into one of three categories. There are the Orthodox Jews--who are committed to following Jewish law to the letter and who uphold all the traditions set by rabbis over the centuries.
Then there are the Conservative Jews, who still believe in following the law, but allow for a bit more freedom of modern interpretation of that law.And then there are the Reform Jews who emphasize the spirit of the law over the letter of the law—often appreciating the deep moral tradition of the Torah, while leaving ritual practice up to the individual. Now, these are just umbrella terms—all of these forms of Jewish practice operate on wide spectrums--but 63% of American jews were able to identify as one of the three in a 2019 Pew Research Survey. And the majority of Jews who did not identify with one of these three categorizations also do not identify as religious.
But that still leaves around 16% of American Jews as actively religious, but unable to align themselves with Orthodox, Conservative or Reform Judaism. So, who are they? Well, the answer is, of course, complicated. There are endless reasons one might not want to ascribe to these three classifications. But, while we can't discern the spiritual complexity of each individual, one new Jewish movement can help account for a growing number of American Jews who don't quite identify with mainstream Jewish communities.They call themselves the Ivri, an ancient word for Hebrews—a name which is fitting for this form of Jewish practice which seeks to call back to ancient traditions and rituals, while also doing something new.On this week's episode I spoke with Mira Fox, reporter and culture critic at The Forward, who recently wrote about the thriving new community in an article entitled: There's a new Judaism in town — or maybe it's very, very old.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Political correspondent Sam Sokol joins host Jessica Steinberg for today's episode. With a growing number of new splinter parties on the right and center-right, some of them founded by former Netanyahu allies, Sokol reviews the latest additions, noting that most of these third-bloc parties, not part of the coalition or opposition blocs, are polling below the electoral threshold as all jockey for position. Sokol reports on the campaign of former IDF general Ofer Winter, who has placed himself firmly in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's camp even as he criticizes the Netanyahu government, but whose People of Israel party appears to be thriving at the cost of the Religious Zionism party of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. Sokol also reports on a new Haredi party, The Charedi Public, founded by Beit Shemesh deputy mayor Moti Leitner, to challenge the preeminent ideologies in the ultra-Orthodox community and be more responsive to the needs and demands of the Haredi public. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

He shares insights from his book A Heart Aflame for God and explores how historical Puritan practices can enrich modern faith.

Linda Gradstein and Noah Efron talk about (1) a new "working man's ultra-Orthodox party" that wants science in the classroom and Haredim in the boardroom and the barracks, and (2) a new poll showing that most Israelis feel like they need to hide who we are when we travel abroad. For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: The Prime Minister's son, Yair Netanyahu, was spirited out of Miami, where he lives, after the Mossad learned that Iranian agents had planned to assassinate him. Well, what can you say to that?!? Plus: the rediscovery of the Altalena after 78 years in the briney deep, and the memories likely to get dredged up with the ship, and wine and gifts, and branch new breezy summer music for the late-summer heat.

The band is ecstatic to be included in ProgDay.“There's a motivated energy in the band,” says Refestramus leader/drummer/songwriter Derek Ferguson. “ProgDay is exactly the kind of listener-first crowd this band was built for.”Refestramus' sound leans on vintage rock hardware—Hammond organ, distorted guitars. The lyrics pull source material from Bulgakov, Kurosawa, Orthodox iconography, and Slavic folklore, all of it delivered with a refusal to take itself too seriously. For fans of Kansas, Styx, Van der Graaf Generator, Crack the Sky, and Flying Colors.Their latest album, “Morri's Rock Boutique,” produced by Ian Beabout, features guest appearances from David Jackson (Van der Graaf Generator), Joe Deninzon (Kansas/Stratospheerius), Rick Witkowski (Crack the Sky), and members of Octarine Sky. Ferguson says 'Morri's' was “created to be heard at ProgDay,” as the album continues to grow in the rock world.Progressor.net calls the album “a blast from beginning to end.” Prog writes that “Morri's Rock Boutique” has “a smile on its face [that] is infectious.” Music Street Journal adds: “Unique and innovative… entertaining.”Refestramus members performing at ProgDay include Ferguson, along with Mitch Lawrence (saxophone), and Octarine Sky's Jan Christiana (lead vocals, bass) and Dyanne Potter Voegtlin (keyboards, vocals), plus Rocket Scientist and Interdiscipline (Crimson tribute) guitarist Bob Wolkotte.Founded in May 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Refestramus' catalog also includes “Decoupage” (2021) and “Intouríst” (Melodic Revolution Records, 2024). The band made its European debut in November 2025 at the HRH Prog 15 Festival in Great Yarmouth, UK, with David Jackson joining them on saxophone—a set Festivals For All called “a superb Chicago band… almost Gong-esque.”The group is celebrating their song “Hell or NYC?!” included in ProgUK's current Melodic Revolution Records' 20th Anniversary sampler and this weekend's Immersive Audio Release of “Morri's Rock Boutique.”  progday.net/Bands-Refestramus.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Summer is winding down, which means the Menschwarmers are back in their natural habitat: wondering which Jews might make NFL rosters, how our baseball stars are faring midseason, and the many ways in which Middle Eastern politics seeps into soccer matches these days. As NCAA basketball gets started, they look at the "Jewish Rodman", Chaim Galbut—a six-foot-seven Orthodox basketball player from Miami who is heading to Duquesne University after a gap year, who plans to keep Shabbat while playing Division I basketball. Then they turn to a quick NFL preview, the Los Angeles Lakers' new Jewish owners, and West Ham United fans' anti-Palestinian chants in purported support of Israeli footballer Manor Solomon, which make us Jews feel a little less than comfortable.

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and one of my favorite authors, Dr. Clark Carlton, for a conversation about Protestantism, Orthodoxy, and what happens when Christianity becomes less a lived, sacramental faith and more an ideology derived from a text. Clark takes us through the history of American Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism, including the Southern Baptist "Conservative Resurgence," and asks an important question: why do conservative Protestant movements seem to win battles while the larger drift continues? His answer goes much deeper than politics, wokeness, or simply blaming theological liberals. We get into sola scriptura, the relationship between Scripture and the Church, Fundamentalism's attempt to fight rationalism with rationalism, and Clark's argument that Orthodoxy begins from an entirely different understanding of Christianity—not primarily as a system of ideas, but as life in Christ and participation in His Body, the Church. Clark is also co-founder and editorial director of the Philip Ludwell III Orthodox Fellowship, which works to nurture and grow the Orthodox faith in the American South. Check out their work, articles, conferences, and more at SouthernOrthodox.org.

This recent Equal to the Apostles was born in Mega Dendron (Great Tree) in Aetolia. He became a monk on Mt Athos, where he lived and prayed for many years. But he was troubled by the ignorance of the Gospel that had fallen on many of the Orthodox people, living under the oppression of the Ottoman Turks. He went to Constantinople, where he studied the rhetorical arts and received the blessing of Patriarch Seraphim II to preach the Gospel. He travelled throughout Greece, Macedonia, Serbia and Albania, preaching at every town he visited. Often not only Greeks but many Muslims would come to hear him, so great was his reputation for holiness. Though he always sought the blessing of the local bishop and the local Turkish governor before he preached in an area, his strong condemnations of dishonest business practices aroused the enmity of Orthodox Christian and Jewish merchants, who falsely accused him to the authorities. He was strangled by the Turks and thrown into a river in Albania, but his wonderworking relics were preserved. He reposed at the age of sixty-five.
