A year ago I was given an 1844 Doctrines and Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church. These first few pages of this book lay out the historical and theological reasons for Methodism's existence.

Chris Lohrstoffer and Brian Yeich, two Wesley scholars, join me to read these pages and explicate their significance.   Youtube - https://youtu.be/GCmcUsnHF_c Audio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcast Apple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4 Click here to check out my Contender Course and Heaven Course!
