Episode 31 – Doing Life Together: The Transformative Power of Small Groups
<p>In a culture marked by loneliness and curated self-presentation, small groups offer a countercultural path to genuine formation. Brian Myers and Jen Stiles Williams are joined by Rev. Christy Holden, pastor of the Channel UMC, a digital new church start. In this episode, they explore why deep community is essential to the Wesleyan life.

Episode 30 – Beyond Sunday Morning: Cultivating a Life of Worship
<p>Worship is more than songs on Sunday, it's a whole-life response to the greatness and goodness of God. In this episode, Brian Myers and Rev.

Drawing from Romans 12:1, the theology of liturgy, and Sophia's own pioneering work in contemporary worship ethics, the conversation unpacks the difference between presence and performance, why we shouldn't show up to church empty, and how the patterns we rehearse on Sunday are forming us the other six days of the week.</p> <p><strong>Show Notes</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>1:25</strong> — Sophia's three roles: worship, youth, and worship ethics</li> <li><strong>6:11</strong> — Defining true worship: presence, response, and open hands</li> <li><strong>13:44</strong> — Performance vs. authenticity in corporate worship</li> <li><strong>19:00</strong> — The ethics of emotional manipulation in worship spaces</li> <li><strong>26:57</strong> — Daily liturgy: how habits become character</li> <li><strong>32:00</strong> — Worship tethered to justice, mercy, and humility</li> </ul> <p>For more information on the year-long Awaken to Grace series, visit <a href="http://awakentograce.org" rel="nofollow">awakentograce.org</a>.</p> <p>Produced by Wesley's Revival, a ministry of Studio Wesley.
