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.

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.
