Transformed by Grace: A Live Conversation with Paul Chilcote & Bishop Tracy Malone

October 28, 2025 by The staff of The Upper Room

How do we practice the life-transforming power of love in our world today?

Join Paul W. Chilcote, renowned Wesleyan scholar and author, and Bishop Tracy S. Malone, president of the UMC Council of Bishops, for a heartfelt online conversation about embracing the power of God’s love to renew our spirits, our churches, and our world. 

Together, they’ll explore how the Wesleyan tradition continues to inspire us to “love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously” — the new vision statement of The United Methodist Church. 

Be part of this uplifting celebration marking the release of Chilcote’s new book, Transformed by Grace: 24 More Prayers in the Wesleyan Spirit

Don’t miss this opportunity to reconnect with what grounds and guides us — the transforming love of God. 



A Year of Prayer, Rooted in Wesleyan Faith

In the devotional classic Praying in the Wesleyan Spirit, renowned Wesleyan scholar Paul Chilcote invited readers to experience the spiritual depth of John Wesley’s sermons through devotional prayer. Now, in Transformed by Grace: 52 More Prayers in the Wesleyan Spirit, Chilcote continues this journey, offering a fresh collection of weekly prayers inspired by Wesley’s later sermons. As in the first volume, Chilcote pairs each prayer with a beloved hymn by Charles Wesley, offering readers an opportunity to sing as they pray.

“In Transformed by Grace, Dr. Paul Chilcote guides readers on a meaningful journey of faith, renewal, and spiritual transformation. Through a beautiful tapestry of prayer, scripture, and hymns, this inspiring book serves as a companion for those longing for transformation, a deeper connection with God, and a life rooted in grace. A must-read for anyone desiring a richer, more devoted life of faith.” —Bishop Tracy S. Malone
