Who Am I?

Hey! I’m Vincent Pontius, a Global Methodist pastor in Ohio. I preach, I build up, and I teach classic theology, which I’m convinced is one of the most important resources that God has given his Church.

Sometimes, I meet people that think that theology is something totally academic and not for everyday people, but that’s not true at all! Theology that helps us serve as better disciples is one of the great legacies of Protestantism, and it’s been a part of our story from the beginning! Martin Luther published book after book for the general population and helped popularize the printing press so he could tell people about God.  John Calvin, another architect of the Reformation, wrote one of the most accessible, excellent commentaries on the Bible that people still use to this day to understand the depths of the Bible. John Wesley, the founder of my own tradition, even published a list of books that “every Christian should read” that included philosophers, artists, and Christians from every tradition you could imagine to help people develop a living, deep faith. Our ancestors wanted people to dive deep so that they could serve well, and looking back at some of the greats from Christianity can help our churches, our minds, and our souls.

This site is where I put reflections and resources to help people understand God and serve Him better. I’ve learned so much as I’ve studied the material that I add here, and I pray that it helps you grow too.
