    #6020 How Sermon Style Shapes Church Growth and Discipleship

    Send us a Text Message - include your name!In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric and Pastor Andy reflect on the difference between topical preaching and exegetical preaching, and on the ways churches tend to use each. They consider why people often assume one approach is superior to the other, while drawing on their own experience both of sitting under these styles of preaching and of using them in the work of ministry. Along the way, they suggest that when either approach is relied on too heavily, the church can lose something vital. Over time, an imbalance in preaching does not simply shape sermons; it also shapes the kind of disciples a church is forming.Beyond The BeaconJoin Bishop Kevin Sweeney for inspired interviews with Catholics living out our faith!Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showSupport"Faith Over Breakfast with Pastors Andy & Eric" is a weekly podcast where Pastors Andy and Eric come together over a imaginary delicious breakfast to talk about faith, food, sermons, culture, and more.

    Send us a Text Message - include your name!In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric and Pastor Andy reflect on discipleship and a recent conference Andy attended, one Eric was somewhat grateful to have missed. The conversation moves beyond conference highlights and into the reality of everyday following. Andy invites Eric to share how he understands true discipleship, not as a program or event, but as a way of life shaped by Jesus, formed in community, and practiced in the ordinary rhythms of the week. Together, they explore what it really means to walk with others, be shaped over time, and stay faithful in the slow, unseen places where real formation happens.  The title, More Obscure Than Scott Vander Ploeg, is a playful homage to Paul Vanderklay’s praise of the conference’s host pastor. It carries both humor and respect, nodding to the kind of quiet, faithful leadership that often goes unnoticed but makes a lasting impact. Beyond The BeaconJoin Bishop Kevin Sweeney for inspired interviews with Catholics living out our faith!Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the showSupport"Faith Over Breakfast with Pastors Andy & Eric" is a weekly podcast where Pastors Andy and Eric come together over a imaginary delicious breakfast to talk about faith, food, sermons, culture, and more.

    #5051 Season 5 Replay: Miley Cyrus - Prophet or Narrator?

    Send us a Text Message - include your name!In this enlightening episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric and Pastor Andy sit down to discuss the enigmatic figure that is Miley Cyrus. Often dubbed the voice of her generation, Cyrus has been both adored and criticized for her bold expressions and transformative musical journey.Drawing parallels, our hosts draw attention to other iconic figures like Madonna and Britney Spears. They recognize the shared thread of pushing boundaries and the evocative narratives that each artist has presented over the years. While Madonna was the emblem of rebellion in the 80s and Britney epitomized the struggles of young pop stars in the 2000s, Miley offers a fresh perspective.Yet, the debate centers around whether Miley is truly a prophet for her generation, foreshadowing and guiding the path of collective thought, or merely a narrator, reflecting the sentiments and experiences of her peers. Pastor Eric suggests that prophets often challenge the status quo, paving the way for new ideologies and urging their followers to think differently. Does Miley fit this mold?On the other hand, Pastor Andy raises the point that as a narrator, Cyrus might simply be echoing the struggles, joys, and confusions of her contemporaries. It's a role that is equally important, as it validates the shared experiences of many.Beyond the comparisons, our hosts also shed light on the distinctions. While Madonna, Britney, and Miley have all faced their share of controversies and challenges, their paths have been undeniably unique, and the way they have chosen to express themselves artistically differs greatly.Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation, as Pastors Eric and Andy explore the complex world of pop culture and its intersection with faith.
