Voices of Trinity S3E1 | Truth & Testimony With Our Conference Lay Leaders

What has God done for you? Season 3 of Voices of Trinity begins with a powerful focus on Truth & Testimony—the personal, lived reality and shared faith in Jesus Christ. In this episode hosted by Conference Superintendent Rev. Jason Burnham, our Conference Co-Lay Leaders Oscar Garza, Sarah Kreutziger, and Carl Brothers share real stories of everyday witness—from simple conversations to life-shaping moments of faith. Their message is clear: you don’t need perfect words or deep expertise. People are simply asking, "what has Jesus done in your life?" This is the heart of evangelism that is both deeply rooted in our Wesleyan heritage and also vital to the advancement of our Global Methodist movement today. In the episode, we explore: • How the Holy Spirit prompts us to share our faith in everyday moments • Why testimony is more about authenticity than expertise • The role of the Church—and the people in the pews—in shaping lives • Stories of faith formed through community, hardship, and lifelong discipleship • Encouragement for anyone who feels unprepared or unqualified to share their faith Throughout this conversation, one truth rises to the surface again and again: God calls each of us—and equips us—to be His witnesses in ways that are uniquely our own.Whether through a single conversation or a lifetime of presence, your faith story has the power to point others to Christ. Watch, listen, and be encouraged—your testimony may be the very thing God uses to reach someone else.

Voices of Trinity S2E6 | Luther Oconer: Wesleyan Holiness In the Global Methodist Movement

What does it really mean to be a movement of the Holy Spirit? In this episode of the Voices of Trinity Podcast, Rev. Dr. Luther Oconer, Conference Superintendent of the Mega Manila Annual Conference of the Global Methodist Church and Associate Professor of Global Wesleyan Theology at Asbury Theological Seminary, joins Rev. Jason Burnham to unpack how the Holy Spirit fuels Wesleyan holiness, mission, and revival in our day. Together they explore why Spirit-empowered ministry is normative Christianity—not an optional extra—and how the early Methodists modeled a “church of Pentecost” that stayed nimble, missional, and hungry for God. Dr. Oconer traces John Wesley’s own journey with the Holy Spirit, from striving for holiness through discipline to encountering a “strangely warmed” heart at Aldersgate. He explains how Wesley’s language of grace is really language of the Spirit’s power at every stage of salvation—prevenient, justifying, and sanctifying grace. The conversation dives into: * Why Acts 1:8, Acts 2, and 1 Corinthians 4:20 still define Spirit-led witness today * How the Holy Spirit works through the means of grace—Word, prayer, Holy Communion, and Christian community—to heal, assure, and transform us * The role of repentance, faith, and holiness as core marks of a Spirit-filled Methodist movement * How emotion, intellect, and experience belong together in “heart religion,” not in opposition to each other Dr. Oconer also shares powerful, real-time stories of the Spirit at work—from revival meetings in Qatar and the Philippines to new Global Methodist congregations being birthed in hard soil and on the frontier. You’ll hear how listening prayer, prophecy, and openness to “holy interruptions” are shaping leadership, decision-making, and church planting in the Mega Manila Conference—and what that might look like in the Trinity Conference and beyond.

What’s standing in the way of the flow of the Holy Spirit in your life? In this powerful conversation, Rev. Dr. Madeline Henners—Assistant Professor of Contextual Ministry at United Theological Seminary and former pastor of 13 years—joins the Voices of Trinity Podcast to share how a moment of surrender transformed her faith and ministry. Dr. Henners invites listeners to rediscover personal revival through intimacy with God, spiritual disciplines, and an openness to the gifts of the Spirit. She and host Rev. Jason Burnham explore: * What it means to surrender and make space for the Holy Spirit’s power; how the early Methodist movement experienced supernatural renewal * The connection between holiness, deliverance, and freedom * Why revival begins within before it ever reaches the church * Practical ways to cultivate intimacy with God in daily life Whether you’re a pastor, lay leader, or seeker longing for more of God’s presence, this episode will challenge and encourage you to pray: “Lord, what’s in the way of the flow of the Holy Spirit in my life?” Subscribe for more Spirit-filled conversations from the Trinity Conference of the Global Methodist Church.
