Maggie Ulmer, Dr. Scott Kisker, and Dr. David Watson tackle a deceptively simple question: Why are we Protestants? The conversation explores Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, and Protestant traditions, engaging topics such as papal infallibility, the Magisterium, Marian doctrines, purgatory, the Eucharist, beauty and aesthetics, ecclesial authority, and the legacy of the Protestant Reformation. Along the way, the hosts reflect on John Wesley’s theology, Methodist holiness, class and band meetings, accountability, sanctification, and the formation practices that once made Methodism a compelling spiritual movement. They contrast these practices with modern consumer Christianity and ask whether Methodism can recover the depth, discipline, and doctrinal clarity needed to speak persuasively to younger generations.
