Susanna Wesley

Raising World Changers in the Midst of Trials

09/13/2024 Stephen Davey

Susanna Wesley, often referred to as the "Mother of Methodism," lived a life marked by resilience, faith, and an unyielding dedication to raising her children in the ways of the Lord. Born into a pastor’s family in late 17th-century England, Susanna faced numerous challenges, including financial hardship, frequent persecution, and the loss of many of her children. Despite these hardships, she invested deeply in the spiritual and academic education of her children, most notably John and Charles Wesley, who would go on to ignite a spiritual awakening across England and beyond. Susanna’s life exemplified the wisdom of Proverbs 1:8-9, “Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.” Her commitment to methodical teaching, structured living, and a deep personal faith laid the foundation for her sons' future ministry. As you listen, consider how the trials you face today can shape a legacy of faith for tomorrow.
