Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_15: Welcome to the Wesley Word.
- 0:15SPEAKER_15: Hi everyone.
- 0:16SPEAKER_15: This weekend we got to take part in one of Wesley's great traditions, the Wesley Winter Retreat.
- 0:21SPEAKER_15: This year, Winter Retreat was hosted at Asbury Hills Camp and Retreat Center in northern Greenville County.
- 0:26SPEAKER_15: Our speaker for the weekend was Sarah Mosley, the summer camp director at Asbury Hills.
- 0:31SPEAKER_17: My name is Sarah Mosley, and I am the summer camp director here at Asbury Hills, and I am the speaker for the Wesley group this weekend, and so excited to be able to share a little bit of my story and hopefully be able to grow closer to folks this weekend.
- 0:45SPEAKER_17: Some of the big things I hope that people take away from being here this weekend, and for those folks who aren't able to be here, I guess some reminders.
- 0:54SPEAKER_17: Big points would be number one, you have a testimony and it is worthy.
- 0:59SPEAKER_17: It is worthy of sharing and speaking and giving to others.
- 1:05SPEAKER_17: And also it is to enjoy the journey and that God is with us through every step of the way.
- 1:12SPEAKER_17: And all we have to do is reach back out and remember that he is there holding his arms out for us to be able to help us along.
- 1:20SPEAKER_17: But he wants us to have those full fruits of the spirit.
- 1:23SPEAKER_17: And so enjoy the journey.
- 1:24SPEAKER_17: Don't focus on the destination.
- 1:27SPEAKER_15: One of the best and most unique parts of Winter Retreat is that we're joined by Wesley Foundations from all over the state of South Carolina.
- 1:33SPEAKER_15: Let's meet some of their campus ministers.
- 1:36SPEAKER_12: Hi there, my name is Allie Lane Jose.
- 1:38SPEAKER_12: I serve as director and campus pastor for the Charleston Wesley Foundation.
- 1:43SPEAKER_12: So for my friends at the Citadel College of Charleston, Charleston Southern, MUSC, and Trident Tech.
- 1:50SPEAKER_12: One of my favorite things about Wesley has got to be the community.
- 1:54SPEAKER_12: I love Wesley so much because I had the benefit of actually being a Wesley student.
- 1:58SPEAKER_12: I went to the College of Charleston and was really involved in Wesley.
- 2:02SPEAKER_12: And as I've gotten to continue to do so in ministry, the friendships and bonds that I've made have truly lasted.
- 2:10SPEAKER_12: Some of my closest friends came from Wesley.
- 2:13SPEAKER_12: They're still the people that I count and rely on, that I go on walks with, I talk about life with.
- 2:19SPEAKER_12: I'm so grateful for the lifelong Christian friendships I made through Wesley.
- 2:24SPEAKER_12: If I had to give a piece of advice to Wesley students, I would say that you get in what you get out what you put in.
- 2:32SPEAKER_12: So don't be afraid to take it a step further, to ask the questions that are on your mind after you hear a sermon or a talk.
- 2:40SPEAKER_12: Dive into Bible study for yourself.
- 2:42SPEAKER_12: Don't be afraid to ask about starting a small group, about going on a mission trip or completing a mission project.
- 2:48SPEAKER_12: Really just let yourself be fearless and directed in the ways God is calling you to go.
- 2:54SPEAKER_12: And He will open doors and windows, line your path, and great things will happen, both for you as you grow in your faith, for your Wesley community, and for the kingdom of God.
- 3:06SPEAKER_01: Hi, my name is Emily Kirby, and I am the director at Coastal Wesley for Coastal Carolina University.
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: My favorite thing about Wesley is that season of life that all of our students are in, where they are asking challenging questions, deciding their own trajectory of their faith path, and just becoming disciples unto themselves, not an inherited faith.
- 3:27SPEAKER_01: Watching that transformation take place is God's movement among us, and it is life-giving.
- 3:33SPEAKER_01: And a piece of advice that I would give for not just Wesley students, but all college students would be in this season of life to find your people, to find the people that you can rely upon, to find the people who will love you no matter what, and to find the people who will hold you accountable because those are the people that will journey with you for the rest of your life.
- 3:54SPEAKER_00: Hi, my name's Charlie Farnum.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: I'm the director at Winthrop Wesley.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: My favorite thing about Wesley is it's an opportunity to take the faith that you were given, if you were given one as a child, and turn that into an adult faith to learn for yourself, to figure out what you actually believe, because you're going to need a faith that you really trust in in order to deal with your adult years.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: And my advice for college students would be to not miss that opportunity.
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: You andor people that love you are investing tens of thousands of dollars in your secular education, and the church is investing tens of thousands of dollars in your religious education.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: Uh, especially if you're in a small Wesley, you will have more access now to a pastor to talk about God and life questions now than you will probably for the rest of your life.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: So don't miss that opportunity.
- 4:40SPEAKER_16: My name is Steve Simoneau.
- 4:42SPEAKER_16: I'm the campus minister and director for the Clemson Wesley up there at Clemson University.
- 4:47SPEAKER_16: One of my favorite things about Clemson Wesley is just the energy and the excitement and the inspiration that happens when you get students together who are trying to live their life out for Jesus, want to know each other.
- 4:59SPEAKER_16: It's just an inspiring thing to be around.
- 5:01SPEAKER_16: The energy, the welcome, the hospitality, it's something that truly in my life gives me life and fuels me for my faith attorney.
- 5:07SPEAKER_16: And so that's one thing I love and take away from Wesley.
- 5:10SPEAKER_16: If I had one piece of advice for students, um it's gonna sound kind of strange, but I would encourage them to say yes and also learn to say no.
- 5:20SPEAKER_16: Um learn to say yes for um exciting opportunities, trying new things, but also, you know, sometimes we feel like we got to carry it all and be willing to say no.
- 5:28SPEAKER_16: I need some time for me.
- 5:29SPEAKER_16: No, I need some time to rest.
- 5:31SPEAKER_16: Um that living that balanced life of yes, trying new things, meeting new people, but also knowing that you don't have to do it all alone, that there are times you can say no.
- 6:24SPEAKER_05: Hey everybody.
- 6:25SPEAKER_05: Um, today we are getting to know the people of Clemson Wesley a little bit better.
- 6:29SPEAKER_05: We're sitting around the fire at Winter Retreat and just having a good old time.
- 6:34SPEAKER_05: Right beside me is Mary Hannah Rogers.
- 6:37SPEAKER_05: Um Mary Hanna, what country has the best outline?
- 6:43SPEAKER_05: Can I have time?
- 6:46SPEAKER_09: Can I have time to think?
- 6:48SPEAKER_05: Do I have to answer right?
- 6:50SPEAKER_05: Okay, so you're being lame?
- 6:52SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna you can think about your your your um answer, and I'm gonna go over to Brouer and Bella.
- 6:59SPEAKER_05: And um where is the craziest place you have eaten a slice of cake?
- 7:12SPEAKER_08: Um I don't like cake.
- 7:14SPEAKER_08: So unfortunately, I haven't had cake very many places, but I did eat cake for my cousin's birthday in Hawaii, which was very sweet, like on the beach.
- 7:24SPEAKER_08: I feel like that's a core memory right there.
- 7:28SPEAKER_10: Well, mine's not Hawaii, but I was just gonna say like a friend's house, but it was definitely had to be like a slice of cake I didn't want to eat, but I felt bad if I didn't.
- 7:37SPEAKER_05: Important back to Mary Hanna Rogers.

- 8:38SPEAKER_04: You just made up her middle name.
- 8:40SPEAKER_04: That I did.
- 8:43SPEAKER_13: I'm not sure that was a good one.
- 8:48SPEAKER_18: You all thought I asked her last name and then didn't and knew her middle name?

- 9:12SPEAKER_18: She asked.
- 9:13SPEAKER_20: Alright, Copeland.
- 9:14SPEAKER_20: I've got a question for you.
- 9:16SPEAKER_20: Copeland, what is the worst book you have ever read?
- 9:20SPEAKER_04: Oh gosh.
- 9:21SPEAKER_04: The last of the Mohicans.
- 9:23SPEAKER_04: It was horrible.
- 9:24SPEAKER_04: It was 450 pages.
- 9:27SPEAKER_04: It was written in like old English.
- 9:30SPEAKER_04: I had to I had to write a paper on it and I did not finish it.
- 9:33SPEAKER_04: That's how bad it was.
- 9:35SPEAKER_04: It was for school, but I picked it out of like Moby Dick and The Scarlet Letter were my other two options.
- 9:42SPEAKER_20: I think great expectations.
- 9:43SPEAKER_20: If you're gonna read that book, don't have great expectations because you'll be let down with it.
- 9:47SPEAKER_07: That was awful.
- 9:47SPEAKER_07: It's very bad.
- 9:53unknown: Yeah.
- 9:55SPEAKER_02: Okay.

- 10:27SPEAKER_13: I know, but I was saying like I was saying Can I say yesterday?
- 10:32SPEAKER_14: I mean it is historical.
- 10:35SPEAKER_07: What was it?
- 10:36SPEAKER_07: Yesterday.
- 10:37SPEAKER_19: Generally all time feels historical, right?
- 10:40SPEAKER_07: Like five minutes ago would be historical as well.
- 10:43SPEAKER_07: It's for the future future.
- 10:46SPEAKER_07: What should I ask my question?

- 11:55SPEAKER_16: We're sitting around the campfire out here in the wilderness, and one of the most important things to have out here is toilet paper.
- 12:00SPEAKER_16: Um, Ashley Rikert, can you just give us a few sentences on sort of your your love and your passion for the production of toilet paper?
- 12:07SPEAKER_16: Um I've never seen someone so passionate about TP before.

- 12:16SPEAKER_07: Toilet paper is just amazing.
- 12:21SPEAKER_16: She is crying tears of joy here.
- 12:25SPEAKER_16: When we went without TP, I want you to know that Ashley was doing the best she could.
- 12:28SPEAKER_16: Um and so if you ever get to catch up with her, she's incredible.

- 13:59SPEAKER_20: I'm currently answering this question with my eyes closed.
- 14:01SPEAKER_20: Um I hate to say this because I don't want to inflate his ego, but it's gotta be Andrew Wessel.
- 14:09SPEAKER_20: Because I can't fight, so boom.
- 14:11SPEAKER_20: I know, that's a terrible answer.
- 14:14SPEAKER_20: Oh, is it my turn?
- 14:15SPEAKER_20: To ask another question.
- 14:16SPEAKER_20: I don't know.
- 14:16SPEAKER_20: I'm about to sneeze in the smoke.

- 14:30SPEAKER_20: If you could instantly master any skill, any skill at all, what would it be?
- 14:35SPEAKER_20: Understanding people.
- 14:38SPEAKER_04: That skill, that's an underrated skill.

- 14:46SPEAKER_20: That's for Hotsi tonight.
- 14:48SPEAKER_20: Oh, wait, no, that's what you're supposed to be.

- 14:57SPEAKER_18: As a triplet that you are, um how do you differentiate yourself from your other two triplets?
- 15:03SPEAKER_04: Well, see, we're all identical triplets, so it's kind of hard.
- 15:06SPEAKER_04: Um, I'm actually not really Copeland right now.
- 15:10SPEAKER_04: I'm actually one of the other ones.
- 15:12SPEAKER_04: We all just trade spots because we're so identical.
- 15:14SPEAKER_04: We have the same schedule, we just learn that we just teach each other the same things when we're back in the dorm.
- 15:20SPEAKER_19: Interesting.
- 15:24SPEAKER_04: I'm not a copel.
- 15:28SPEAKER_11: Alright, this question is for Ash.
- 15:30SPEAKER_11: Oh no.
- 15:31SPEAKER_11: So if you could only eat French fries from one restaurant for the rest of your life, like you gotta pick one restaurant to eat any type of French fry, which one stays?
- 15:43SPEAKER_11: Oh no.
- 15:47SPEAKER_21: Oh gosh.
- 15:48SPEAKER_13: Um, I can't like think of exactly like the place, but like you know, like French fries that are like the beer-battered fries that you get at like like really good fish restaurants in Charleston?
- 16:05SPEAKER_21: That that is the type of French fry that I would want to be eating.
- 16:08SPEAKER_21: I don't know.
- 16:09SPEAKER_21: Somewhere probably somewhere in Charleston.
- 16:11SPEAKER_21: I don't know what the restaurant is, but I think that would be very good.
