Tedder’s Top Ten: Methodist Blogs

This, perhaps more than any of the other Tedder’s Top Ten lists, is a pretty inadequate list. There are some folks who travel throughout the Methodist blogging world far more than I and who, therefore, are far more competent to make this list than I. On the other hand, since these lists are really just “Dale’s favorite “go to” websites and blogs, I guess, in reality, no one knows better than I what I read most often (except, of course, all the secret internet tracking services and the government).

At any rate, I can truly say that the following list is in no particular order, though there are some that I visit more regularly than others (the first three). But the rest are also fantastic and I try to get by to visit them as much as possible. They are all well worth your time.

PS – I never ceased to be amazed at all the insightful people out there.

1.) Allan Bevere - In addition to being a top-notch scholar, Allan has a great pastoral heart. I’m a big fan of his blog… and Allan!

2.) The Methodist Thinker - Joseph’s site has a great combination of original reporting, archiving of good articles, and his wonderful podcast. You’ve got to listen to them if you haven’t.

3.) John Meunier - John simply tires me out with how prolific his posts are. There’s at least one a day that I’m really glad he posted (and often more than that).

4.) The MethoBlog - This is the “all-father” for all blogs Methodist. A must read each day to keep up all things Methodist.

5.) Shane Raynor - In my opinion, Shane sets the standard for what Methodist blogs ought to look like. Great style and mucho user-friendliness.

6.) Gavin Richardson - Pretty darn close to Shane is style and content. Heck… let’s just call it a tie. Good stuff.

7.) Steve Manskar - Steve is “the man” when it comes to a Wesleyan understanding of discipleship. I’ve profited greatly by his thoughts on the subject.

8.) Kevin Watson - Also a big help with Wesleyan discipleship. Like Steve above, Kevin has a great book on the subject.

9.) Dan Dick - This is one that I’m just getting to know, but haven’t been disappointed yet.

10.) Matt O’Reilly - Matt’s a deep thinker who gives me much to ponder.

What I love about all these blogs is that these folks have a deep commitment for Christ and his Church. I’m blessed by all their blogging efforts and encourage you to check them out.

PSS – Please don’t hesitate to let me know one or two Methodist blogs that you really, really like that I didn’t mention. Maybe I need to get it on my radar screen as well.

Grace and Truth,
Dale
