Twice a month, we feature local experts on a variety of topics from leadership to innovation and share examples of churches in our conference reaching their communities in news ways through mission engagement, Fresh Expressions and much more. John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement, defined Means of Grace as the outward signs, words or actions that are the ordinary channels conveying God's grace to the souls of people. So when we're talking about leadership or discipleship or an outreach initiative, it's about more than doing a program well, it's a means of God's grace to the world.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-31T00:19:37.232272+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/means-of-grace-254026"},"episode":{"title":"Re-Air: Healing and Hope in Anxious Times","slug":"re-air-healing-and-hope-in-anxious-times","published_at":"2026-03-12T14:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/means-of-grace-254026/re-air-healing-and-hope-in-anxious-times","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/means-of-grace-254026","url":"https://wnccumc.libsyn.com/re-air-healing-and-hope-in-anxious-times","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/wnccumc/riverside_healing_and_hope_in_an...___mar_11_2026_001_aimees_studio.mp3?dest-id=1499846","summary":"MOG Re-Air from 2023: In this episode of the Means of Grace podcast, hosts Jesse Enniss and Kim Ingram talk to Rev.
