Larycia Hawkins and host Karen Wright Marsh recount the story of John Wesley, founder of Methodism.

As a young man, pious John Wesley declared the “absolute impossibility of being half a Christian.”  Crushing failures humbled his grand ambitions-- yet prepared Wesley for a renewed faith, one energized by freedom, love and transformative action

Guest Dr. Larycia Hawkins is an American scholar and speaker whose act of embodied solidarity became the subject of the award-winning documentary film Same God.

Dr. Hawkins is general faculty at the University of Virginia, where she teaches in the departments of politics and religious studies and serves in the Religion, Race, and Democracy Lab.
