2021 Webinar Series – The Free Methodist Way

February 23, 2021

“What if there were no Free Methodists?” Have you ever asked that question? Have you ever wondered what makes us unique and different from other church groups? Have you asked yourself “Why should I be part of this movement?”

The Free Methodist Way is an initiative led by the Board of Bishops to answer those questions, clarifying the values that allow the Free Methodist Church to have a voice now:

– Life-Giving Holiness
– Love-Driven Justice
– Christ-Compelled Multiplication
– Cross-Cultural Collaboration
– God-Given Revelation

In understanding what makes us unique, we are then able to live into our distinct culture and have an impact on a world that is looking for Christians who live what they say they believe.

In this webinar the Board of Bishops (Linda Adams, Keith Cowart, and Matthew Whitehead) share their own perspectives and stories about what the Free Methodist Way is and what it means to them.

Fresh Oil, Fresh Anointing: Breaking Spiritual Bondage with Bishop Kenny Martin
Fresh Oil, Fresh Anointing: Breaking Spiritual Bondage with Bishop Kenny Martin

Bishop E. Kenneth Martin delivers a prophetic challenge to the Free Methodist Church, confronting deep-rooted issues of spiritual bondage, systemic oppression, and the church’s complacency. “Churches are dying in a cage,” he declares, calling for a radical shift in how the church addresses:

– Spiritual chains of sin and oppression
– Historical and ongoing impacts of slavery
– Diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges
– The church’s reluctance to engage difficult conversations
– Breaking free from “nasty” church politics and self-serving leadership

“This is a season of manifestation,” Martin says, urging a breakthrough from 2025 to 2035 that will transform the church locally and globally.
