We're all sinners who can't save ourselves, but does that mean we have zero choice in the matter? In this episode, we unpack original sin, bust the "Pelagian" myth about Wesleyan theology, and explain what grace-enabled free will really means. Part 3 of Wesleyan Perspectives.

Who am I? It's the question everyone's asking — but the Bible flips it: who did God create me to be? In this episode, we explore Genesis 1, the equal creation of men and women in God's image, John Wesley's three aspects of the image of God, and why holiness (not self-help) is at the center of our identity.

We also tackle a tough question: is the image of God in us beyond repair after the fall? (Spoiler: no — and we'll explain why next week.)

Why call it "Wesleyan" if the Bible is really our final authority? In this launch episode of Wesleyan Perspectives, we explore the life of John Wesley, the origins of Methodism, and the framework (the Wesleyan Quadrilateral) that shapes how we read Scripture — with humility and conviction.

Coming up in this series: creation, the fall, salvation, sanctification, and more big questions about the character of God.
