Words Have to Mean Something - A Conversation with Scott Kisker

Rev. Dr. Scott Kisker has recently joined the faculty at Asbury Theological Seminary. He is simultaneously a local church pastor, concerning himself not just theoretically, but practically, with the doctrines of grace and salvation. Fortunately, the Methodist heritage has prepared him for such a time as this.

There wasn’t really any good reason to contact Dr. Kisker. His is a name I have seen over the years associated with my tradition. The way others talk about him led me to believe I would benefit from a visit. I wasn’t wrong. He’s an insightful person with the courage to say things that most people in the know choose to avoid. Plainspoken, if you will. He belongs.

Even nonMethodists will enjoy most of this conversation. It is primarily concerned with understanding the ‘methods’ that were once successful in facilitating the revival seen in the early days of Methodism. We talk about small discipleship groups, what the word ‘Methodist’ must mean if it is to have meaning, and the kind of movement we are praying the world will see again.
