Thanks to the generous support of our paid subscribers over the years, I am glad to announce The Earnest Wesleyan is hosted on its own domain, earnestwesleyan.com. The site will continue to be hosted on Substack and nothing will immediately change, but this is certainly an upgrade, thank you!
A helpful addition to the domain being live is going forward you can email editor@earnestwesleyan.com to contact me directly and submit articles. As always, if you would like to submit an article for review, please review the publishing guidelines and send it to the editor’s email.
I know over the last year the amount of content has lessened, but I am excited for the future of this project. I believe the quality has risen. Here are some highlights:
30 articles published
3 authors
Over 9,500 article reads
Over 700 Facebook followers
Nearly 200 email subscribers
Regular features on other sites
“Charles Wesley Writing” by Richard Douglas
I am so thrilled with how far this has come. With your help, this project can continue to grow. There are three things you can do to help:
Share and tell your friends! The best way to help is to tell your friends, church members, family, and others about the project. Word of mouth (and social media links!) are the best way you can help.
Contribute! If you have thoughts that you think would make a good article, write it! If you have something to say about a post, comment on it! If you like a post, like it! Engagement boots the reach of articles. But most importantly, this project was never intended to be a personal blog, but a vehicle for the Church. If you have been hesitant to write but have ideas or even have written but have been nervous to submit or don’t know where to get started in publishing articles, try here!
Subscribe and consider purchasing a subscription. Every subscription is appreciated and no main content of this project like full articles will ever be behind a paywall. However, if you would like to support what I’m trying to build here, a premium subscription is the best way to do so. For Advent and Christmastide, all subscriptions are discounted by 20%. A new tier, Original Methodist is now available where you can set how much you contribute.
Finally, I have always wanted to make The Earnest Wesleyan more than a simple website to host articles. You may be excited to hear there are several potential additions to this project in the works in collaboration with other Christian content creators including closer collaborations on theological and devotional articles, bringing on additional editors and regular authors, social media content like videos, and maybe… potentially… hopefully… a podcast. I hope to share more details later as things settle down after the holidays and more things get confirmed.
But aside from growing the platform of The Earnest Wesleyan, it exists to support the Church of Jesus Christ, to build it up. In that regard, it is my goal to begin using any subscription income to help support the work of the Church. I have several ideas on ways that can happen, and I will keep the site updated on how and when that will begin to happen.
For now, have a blessed Advent.

I don't see any African Americans. I listened to Charlie Kirk's comments on black people and honestly, I can see why they were offended. Other than that, lets hope and pray for revival .
