In this episode of More to the Story, I sit down with Dr. Kenneth J. Collins, Professor of Historical Theology and Wesley Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary, to discuss his latest book, Generous Divine Love: The Grace and Power of Methodist Theology (Abingdon Press). Dr. Collins offers a fresh vision of Wesleyan theology centered on the abundant generosity of God’s holy love.

We explore:

• Why Wesleyan theology emphasizes grace as a gift rather than something earned
• The beauty of “holy love” and its transformative power for Christian living
• Practical implications for pastors, scholars, and laity

This conversation will inspire you to rediscover the heart of Methodist theology—a theology that celebrates God’s lavish grace and calls us to overcome division and tribalism with generous love.
