I wrote a book with @dfwatson3! It is about recovering Methodist identity and has a great title: Faith & Fire. Check it out: kevinmwatson.com/2026/04/06/rec…

This week is like the Super Bowl of Asbury Seminary's Tulsa Extension Site. Oh, and my heart is full after last week's Spring Break Mission to Jamaica with Asbury Church students. God is good! kevinmwatson.com/2026/03/24/thi…

@thenicholashect It would be great to talk more about the Asbury Connection!

@kevinwatson Interested in hearing more, at some point, about the Connection and what church planting might look like.

Join the Asbury Church Fellowship Program! We are 6 months into our Fellowship Program and we are ready to start round 2. This is a paid full-time position, with benefits. We are looking to hire 2 additional Fellows to start early Fall 2026. Details here: kevinmwatson.com/2026/03/04/joi…

@DerwinLGray @AsburySeminary Thank you so much!

@kevinwatson @AsburySeminary Congratulations 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿.

I wrote a book with the President of @AsburySeminary. NBD

@DerwinLGray @AsburySeminary I’m not sure. I thought it was Feb 4, but on Amazon it is only available on Kindle. I’ll share more on where to get it once it’s gotten from the warehouse out into distribution channels. Looks like the Kindle version is available now. amzn.to/4rMIwYH

@kevinwatson @AsburySeminary When does it release?

@SharpBob @AsburySeminary Thank you!

@kevinwatson @AsburySeminary I look forward to reading it.

Join Dr. David Watson at Underground Seminary: Faith & Fire @dfwatson3 is coming to Tulsa! And we have written a book together. David is going to speak at the 4th Underground Seminary. And this is going to be the biggest one we've had yet. Details here: kevinmwatson.com/2026/02/27/joi…

@JohnWayneMcMann Awesome. It’s urgent!

@kevinwatson My staff is discussing Burge and now your post today. Thank you for this, Kevin!

New Post: Where Do We Go from Here? I'm thinking about major demographic, cultural, and institutional shifts. The way forward for the American church will be almost impossibly difficult. Here's why I have hope: kevinmwatson.com/2026/02/09/whe…

@WhatJoshTweeted @believebetter1 @revchadbrooks Chad, I am glad to see you are working on the class meeting. I agree with you that it is essential to Methodism.

@WhatJoshTweeted @believebetter1 @revchadbrooks This is a false option. Wesley, the founder of Methodism, himself insisted that doctrine, spirit, and discipline were together essential to Methodism having the form and power of godliness. Discipline without doctrine is a form of religion without the power of the gospel.

UMC decline is a result of praxis, not theology. I'll be standing on this hill even more now. I've been researching the history of the Class Meeting, how it created polity and drove our entire organizational design. Losing this created denominational instability.

I got to preach last week at Asbury Church! Check it out: "Would You Recognize the Deal of a Lifetime?" youtube.com/watch?v=NCW1WL…

Here is the best book I've read on how to be a disciple of Jesus. What do you think is the best book on Christian discipleship? kevinmwatson.com/2026/01/21/the…

I was watching Indiana's dismantling of Oregon last week after learning of @JasonWitten's hire by OU (which I'm so excited about) and something clicked for me about joy and gratitude versus entitlement and negativity. New Post: kevinmwatson.com/2026/01/14/tho…

Happy New Year! 2026 is off to a great start at Asbury in Tulsa. I wanted to share some upcoming events at Asbury with you, including one about a new book I have coming out with @AsburySeminary's President @dfwatson3. Check it out: kevinmwatson.com/2026/01/09/upc…
