WesWorld - Episode 4 - "The Perils of Pragmatism"

February 17, 2026·56 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

In this lively and deeply theological episode of WesWorld, hosts Maggie Ulmer, Dr. Scott Kisker, and Dr. David Watson discuss with humor, banter, and a few good-natured jabs, the trio digs into pragmatism, why decisions within the Global Methodist Church and the broader Wesleyan family must be rooted in rich theological reasoning rather than convenience, trend, or institutional fatigue. The conversation ranges across infant baptism vs. infant dedication, sacramental authority, elders vs. deacons, whether Wesleyans should fence the table, and the dangers of letting “what works” override historic Christian convictions.
