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.

Send us a Text Message - include your name!
In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric and Pastor Andy work through themes from Eric’s recent writings on the first three chapters of Genesis. They reflect on creation, identity, order, and the fracture that follows in Genesis 3, asking what these opening chapters reveal about humanity’s calling and our ongoing struggle to trust God.
Along the way, they recommend several books that have shaped their thinking and speak candidly about the weight of leading in the age of information; an era where opinions are instant, criticism is public, and theological conversations travel faster than wisdom often does. It’s an honest discussion about Scripture, formation, and the challenge of shepherding people when everyone has a platform.

Did God create cancer? In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric and Pastor Andy do their best to wrestle with that question. They draw from Augustine and Irenaeus, and they talk through sin, brokenness, creation, and the bigger “cosmic” storyline that shapes how Christians have understood evil and suffering. Along the way, they bring in themes from relational theology and try to speak with both honesty and care. You may still have questions when it’s over, but the conversation will give you a thoughtful place to stand as you keep asking them.
