In today's episode we delve into the fascinating story of John Wesley, a renowned preacher who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on history. Born into a devout Anglican family, Wesley's upbringing laid a strong foundation for his future work. A successful scholar at Oxford and ordained into the Anglican ministry, Wesley seemed destined for a conventional path. However, his true calling would take him on a different journey.
