     The spiritual life cannot be fully understood or lived until the believer grasps the distinction between positional truth and experiential truth. Learning God's Word is always the starting point for the Christian way of life (1 Pet 2:2; 2 Tim 3:16–17). Until the believer orients to what God has already accomplished at initial salvation, he cannot discern what God now expects in fellowship (Rom 6:3–11). Confusion or neglect of Scripture inevitably drives the Christian into legalism, emotionalism, ritualism, activism, or frustration (Col 2:8, 20–23; Gal 3:1–3). Bible doctrine learned and applied provides the foundation for executing the spiritual life (Rom 12:2; Jam 1:22). God's riches for the believer include both positional and experiential blessings, and the former establishes the ground on which the latter are enjoyed (Eph 1:3; Col 2:6–7).

In this episode of More to the Story, I sit down with Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, to talk about her powerful new “Greater Than” campaign—an initiative calling all of us to place the needs, rights, and well‑being of children above the desires of adults. Katy unpacks why children are greater than politics, trends, or adult preferences, and why a flourishing society begins with honoring the innate child's right to their mother and father whenever possible.We explore the theological, cultural, and practical implications of child‑first ethics, discuss how Christians can respond with both clarity and compassion, and consider how churches, parents, and leaders can champion the next generation. This conversation is both challenging and deeply hopeful.Tune in for a thoughtful discussion that reframes how we think about family, love, and responsibility.Youtube - https://youtu.be/RcxWChdlyoUAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4Learn more about the Greater Than Campaign - https://greaterthancampaign.com/If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. John Wigger joins me to explore the life and legacy of Francis Asbury—one of the most understudied yet profoundly influential figures in American religious history. Asbury may not have been a charismatic performer or a deep intellectual in the traditional sense, but he had an extraordinary grasp of Methodism's core calling: holiness, sanctification, relational connection, and cultural awareness.He organized and adapted Methodism to serve the needs of the emerging United States, helping it thrive in a new nation. This episode challenged and corrected several misconceptions I held about Asbury, highlighting his practical genius in making Methodism relevant and vibrant in early America.If you're interested in Wesleyan theology, Methodist history, or how faith adapts to cultural contexts, this is a must-listen!Key Topics Discussed:•  Asbury's non-traditional leadership style•  The heart of Methodism: holiness, sanctification, and relational discipleship•  Cultural adaptation and organizational strategy in the young United States•  Correcting common misconceptions about AsburyYoutube - https://youtu.be/2xzLVzyG70QAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4John Wigger's book: American Saint: Francis Asbury and the Methodists - https://a.co/d/058UdnmnIf you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

What are the things you see going on in the world that bring you lamentation with a need to bring them to God? In this episode, Jeff and Andy discuss:  Preparing for your calling in the world, not just in a Christian community. The mysterious importance of authority and vulnerability. Taking concentrated risk on something that can bear fruit. Money is both nothingness and liquid power.    Key Takeaways: You don't have to keep doing the same job forever, but you do need to keep moving forward and keep progressing. It's damaging for the development of young people not to see their parents continuing to do things that put them in a place where they have to trust God. God rarely wastes anything. It is likely the first part of your story is going to inform the next, but it is not always going to be linear or how you expect. Giving is a kind of linchpin, because it is a release of control that is unlike any other use of money.    "You are called at every stage of your life to be taking on something that places you in a radical sense of dependence on God and, ideally, on some other people whom you have come to believe God has given you to go on this adventure with." —  Andy Crouch   Episode References:  You Cannot Serve God & Mammon with Andy Crouch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w4TQd_c85I   About Andy Crouch: Andy Crouch is a partner for theology and culture at Praxis, a venture-building ecosystem advancing redemptive entrepreneurship.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Brian Shelton to discuss his new book Theology of a Diary, a theological exploration of the real events behind The Exorcist. Brian unpacks the spiritual, historical, and doctrinal context surrounding the case that inspired the film. We talk about how the church has understood demonic activity, spiritual authority, and pastoral discernment in moments of spiritual conflict. This conversation brings clarity, depth, and Christian insight to one of the most misunderstood stories of the last century.Youtube - https://youtu.be/wTqeC1g5424Audio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4Get the book on Amazon here: https://a.co/d/08lYkCIPIf you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Derek Rishmawy and Alastair Roberts take up the problem of Christian doomerism in an age of AI development, geopolitical instability, and algorithmic anxiety — diagnosing why our moment feels uniquely threatening, then building a theology and practice of realistic hope from the Sermon on the Mount, the Psalms, eschatology, and the concrete habits (prayer, scripture, crocheting) that keep despair at bay. — Get your copy of Mere Orthodoxy's ebook, Spiritual Formation for the Family, by going to http://mereorthodoxy.com/family Mere Fidelity is a podcast from Mere Orthodoxy and is listener-supported.

For part 10 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack this lines:"We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church."... which can feel strange, or outright ironic, when you are in a church that doesn't get along with ... the church across the street. How can we proclaim we are ONE church when Christianity is so obviously divided? How could the church 1700 years ago claim this, when division goes back to James and John vying to sit at the right hand of Jesus when he came into glory? We bring in scholar and priest, The Rev. Dr. Valerie Bailey, to speak with us and muddle through what it means to (1) be a church in the tradition of the apostles and (2) aspire for such holy unity. The Rev. Dr. Valerie Bailey Fisher The Rev. Valerie Bailey Fischer serves at Williams College as the chaplain.  She has more than 11 years of college chaplaincy experience, nearly a decade in ordained ministry and strong foundations in experiential education and social justice. Raised in the African-American Pentecostal tradition, Bailey Fischer joined the Episcopal Church as a young adult.

Televizní zábava 90. let byla hlavně otevřená – jednak světu a konečně bez cenzury, a také svět vstoupil do televize. Diváci očekávali novinky – a ty jim rozhodně nikdo neupřel. Když pak do hry vstoupily soukromé komerční televize, bylo nad slunce jasnější, že obrazovka je najednou i obrazem společnosti. Protože to, na co se divák nedíval, bylo předem odsouzeno k zániku.

In this second episode of a two-part series, (for part 1 click here) we explore The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a concise and influential 1,700‑word confession that articulates the historic Christian understanding of Scripture as God's authoritative and trustworthy revelation.Within Wesleyan circles, many have never encountered this document directly. After noticing this gap, and the blank stares I often get when referencing it, I decided it was time to devote two episodes to simply reading the statement and offering accessible commentary.To guide the conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Matt O'Reilly, who has appeared on the podcast multiple times over the last five years. Together, we walk through the text, highlight its insights, and consider why Wesleyans should be familiar with this important articulation of inerrancy.In this episode:Why the Chicago Statement remains influentialHow it reflects the classical Christian approach to ScriptureWhy Wesleyans benefit from engaging itGuided reading + theological commentaryHow inerrancy fits within a broader doctrine of revelationYoutube - https://youtu.be/5dgCFypDxogAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Join us this evening for A Quick 15-minute moment of devotion and prayer with Reverend Brenda Richardson, M.Div. from Joel 2:12 NKJV

In this Replay episode, Matthew Lee Anderson, Derek Rishmawy, and Alistair Roberts are joined by Andy Crouch — Partner for Theology and Culture at Praxis — to examine what the data on social media and video games reveals about the diverging formation of young men and women. The conversation turns on a pointed question: what happens when the skills adolescence develops are simulations rather than realities? And what does that mean for formative communities — home, school, and church — that bear responsibility for shaping persons, not just managing behaviors? - Mere Fidelity is a podcast from Mere Orthodoxy and is listener-supported.

Send a textREPRISE - Ken welcomes pastor, historian, and special advisor to the President at Baylor University, Dr. Malcolm Foley. Just this month, his new book - The Anti-Greed Gospel: Why the Love of Money Is the Root of Racism and How the Church Can Create a New Way Forward - has just been released. Dr. Foley shares something of his faith and spiritual journey. As an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis, he majored in Finance and the Classics. After earning an M. Div. at Yale Divinity School, he completed his Ph.D. at Baylor. His dissertation focussed on the history of lynching in America, and the responses of African American Protestants to the horror of it all. Ken and Malcolm unpack the thesis of his new book: that racism is rooted in greed. They talk about his concept of racialized capitalism, the dominance of white supremacy, the witness of the “Church Fathers” and the biblical passages that deal with greed and wealth. In the 1987 movie Wall Street, Gordon Gekko (played by Michael Douglas) declares, “Greed is good!” Dr. Foley disagrees. He takes a deep dive into the reality of lynching and the use of violence and terror to subjugate black folks. It's a hard look at history. They talk about Malcolm's heroes in the movement: Martin Luther King, Malcolm X (for whom he was named), and Ida B. Wells among many others. Toward the end of their lively conversation, Ken asks Dr. Foley about the current weaponization of phrases like DEI, Woke, and CRT which do not appear in the book. Don't miss Malcolm's response. SHOW NOTES (see links to the book and more about Dr. Foley)Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Televize Nova řeší, jak naložit s víkendovou debatou Za pět minut dvanáct. Poté, co se neprosadila v neděli, přišel přesun na sobotu. Teď mění moderátora. „Koho jiného do prvního dílu než Andreje Babiše, “ říká nová tvář pořadu Bára Divišová.Původně nedělní debatu Nova spustila v říjnu 2023 s moderátorem Martinem Čermákem. Kvůli velké konkurenci Otázek Václava Moravce na ČT i Partie Terezie Tománkové na Primě, ale televize pořad přesunula na sobotu. Debatu navíc v pátek předtáčí, aby usnadnila zvaní atraktivních hostů.„Ten pořad měl možná velké ambice, ale naskočil do hodně konkurenčního prostředí. Když se ani nebudeme soustředit na sledovanost, tak jsme tam hrozně bojovali o hosty. Tři diskuze na neděli v jeden čas to si myslím, že už je moc. Tak jsme ustoupili na sobotu,“ vysvětluje Bára Divišová, která byla hostem podcastu Mediální cirkus.Ze Střepin do debatyDivišová, která na Nově pracuje už 18 let a v poslední době byla spojená především s pořadem Střepiny nebo Napřímo, se stala novou moderátorkou debaty Za pět minut dvanáct v únoru. Jako prvního hosta si do studia pozvala premiéra Andreje Babiše z hnutí ANO.„Nedávno jsme měli na rozhovoru pana prezidenta, takže jsem si říkala, koho jiného do prvního dílu než Andreje Babiše. Až potom mi došlo, co jsem si na sebe zase ušila,“ popisuje Divišová, která patří mezi pár novinářů, s nimiž Andrej Babiš mluví.„My se známe dlouho. Jednou, někdy v roce 2015, jsem měla s Andrejem Babišem živý vstup do poledních Televizních novin. A on si přinesl pokladničku a mluvil asi sedm minut. Kolegyně Emma Smetana mě za to tehdy strašně kritizovala. Po vstupu jsem Babišovi říkala: ‚Co to mělo být?‘ A on se začal hrozně smát. Ale od té doby si pamatoval, jak se jmenuji,“ vzpomíná Divišová v Mediálním cirkusu na vysílání, ve kterém Babiš vysvětloval elektronickou evidenci tržeb.Exkluzivní prostor dostala Divišová i krátce po loňských sněmovních volbách, když k ní Andrej Babiš přišel na rozhovor tehdy ještě na TN.cz a přinesl s sebou návrh programového prohlášení vlády ANO, SPD a Motoristů. Ten moderátorce ve vysílání i předal. „Kdybych to věděla, tak bych se na to lépe připravila. Kolegové si ze mě dělali legraci, že jsem ho normálně přitlačila, aby mi to dal. Že jsem mu řekla: ‚To mi dáte!‘ Já jsem to řekla, ale na konci věty byl otazník. Ale nečekala jsem to. Kdybych to čekala, tak ten rozhovor povedu trošku jinak. Ale Andrej Babiš takové nečekané věci rád dělá,“ říká novinářka.Babiše umí naštvat každýSama říká, že jí diváci občas vztahy s Babišem předhazují, třeba na sociálních sítích, což ji mrzí.„Diváci spekulují, proč to tak je, že tady nedostane otázky na tělo, že jsem k němu servilní, že má nějaké výhody. Ale na moji obranu - on takhle mluví i s některými dalšími novináři. Na plénu mluví třeba o Petru Vaškovi z České televize. Petr za ním může přijet pro vyjádření, odepíše mu na esemesku. Tak snad doufám, že když dám tyhle dva příklady vedle sebe, že mě lidé nebudou tolik obviňovat,“ říká Divišová a pokračuje:„Andreje Babiše umí naštvat každý. To není mým cílem. Chci z toho člověka dostat informace, hlavně ve chvíli, kdy těch informací má ze svého postu dost. My spolu nesouhlasíme, i se pohádáme, ale smějeme se u toho, je to taková výměna názorů. Na někoho je lepší takový ten sofistikovaný postup, že potom sám na sebe řekne všechno.“Jak se vyrábí zpravodajství pro Novu? Jak zábavné je dělat Střepiny? A jak se dívá na debatu o veřejnoprávních médiích? --Mediální cirkus. Podcast Marie Bastlové o dění na mediální scéně.

     The spiritual life cannot be fully understood or lived until the believer grasps the distinction between positional truth and experiential truth. Learning God's Word is always the starting point for the Christian way of life (1 Pet 2:2; 2 Tim 3:16–17). Until the believer orients to what God has already accomplished at initial salvation, he cannot discern what God now expects in fellowship (Rom 6:3–11). Confusion or neglect of Scripture inevitably drives the Christian into legalism, emotionalism, ritualism, activism, or frustration (Col 2:8, 20–23; Gal 3:1–3). Bible doctrine learned and applied provides the foundation for executing the spiritual life (Rom 12:2; Jam 1:22). God's riches for the believer include both positional and experiential blessings, and the former establishes the ground on which the latter are enjoyed (Eph 1:3; Col 2:6–7).

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn this episode of Faithful Politics, we sit down with James Michael Smith, founder of  @DiscipleDojo for a conversation about how Christians engage culture without losing clarity or charity. Smith draws on his background in theology and martial arts to frame public discourse as sparring — pushing ideas hard while still treating the other person as a training partner rather than an enemy.The conversation moves across church culture, political polarization, and the habits that shape how we disagree. We discuss how identity gets tied to ideology, why online spaces intensify conflict, and what it looks like to challenge ideas without dehumanizing people. Smith also shares how his ministry works to form Christians who can think critically, hold convictions, and stay grounded in real-world relationships.Throughout the episode, the focus stays on discipline — intellectual, spiritual, and relational. The goal isn't to eliminate disagreement. It's to handle it in a way that sharpens understanding instead of tearing people apart. Disciple Dojo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCMEea4p5qqTlpDrp3vl9G3A Guest Bio James Michael Smith is the founder of Disciple Dojo, a discipleship and Bible-training ministry that equips Christians to think clearly and engage culture with integrity. He holds an M.Div. from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. Smith also founded Refugee Jitsu, a free program that teaches self-defense and resilience to refugee and underserved youth. His work brings together theology, cultural analysis, and disciplined conversation in both digital and in-person spaces.Support the show

In this first episode of a two-part series, we explore The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a concise and influential 1,700‑word confession that articulates the historic Christian understanding of Scripture as God's authoritative and trustworthy revelation.Within Wesleyan circles, many have never encountered this document directly. After noticing this gap, and the blank stares I often get when referencing it, I decided it was time to devote two episodes to simply reading the statement and offering accessible commentary.To guide the conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Matt O'Reilly, who has appeared on the podcast multiple times over the last five years.

Derek Rishmawy and Alastair Roberts host Jake Meador for a wide-ranging conversation on why evangelical institutions struggle with leadership transitions and long-term succession. They explore how evangelicalism's emphasis on discontinuity, charismatic personality-driven leadership, and brand-over-institution thinking undermines durability. The discussion touches on the boomer generational bottleneck, the producer-consumer framework shaped by technology, and what healthier models—like RTS or long-tenured churches—might teach us about building things that outlast their founders. — Mere Fidelity is a podcast from Mere Orthodoxy and is listener-supported.

Why was Jesus baptized? And what does it mean that the Holy Spirit descended on him? In this episode of the More to the Story podcast, I'm joined by Steve Blakemore, theologian, and Murray Vasser, New Testament scholar, for a conversation about one of the most intriguing moments in the Gospels. Together, we explore why Jesus, who Christians confess as sinless, submitted to baptism, and how the Spirit's descent at the Jordan reveals key aspects of Jesus's identity, mission, and relationship to Israel and the Father. This episode invites listeners to move beyond familiar answers and into the deeper theological and biblical meaning of Jesus's baptism, and why it still matters today.Youtube - https://youtu.be/4_OWvi3PkfwAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Derek Rishmawy, Alastair Roberts, Brad East, and James Wood trace the evangelical spiritual formation movement from Richard Foster through Dallas Willard to John Mark Comer. They explore why disciplines resonate today amid technological distraction and desire for embodied faith, while navigating tensions between individual and communal formation, liturgy's role, and concerns about practices becoming self-optimization divorced from gospel foundations. — Mere Fidelity is a podcast from Mere Orthodoxy and is listener-supported.

What if the future of the church isn't found in choosing between old and new—but in learning how both can flourish together? In this episode, Loren is joined by Dwight Zscheile and Blair Pogue for a wide-ranging conversation about their book, Embracing the Mixed Ecology, and what it means to form Christian communities in a changing world. Drawing on their experience in congregational leadership, theological education, and diocesan innovation, Dwight and Blair make the case for a mixed ecology of church—where inherited congregations, new communities, fresh expressions, digital ministry, and lay-led initiatives work together to embody the gospel. Rather than dismissing institutions or chasing quick fixes, the conversation emphasizes discipleship, listening to neighbors, and adapting church forms without abandoning the substance of the faith. The episode also explores why activism alone cannot sustain Christian identity, how polarization distorts formation, and why the church must recover practices that shape people into a distinct way of life centered on Jesus.   Topics Include What a “mixed ecology” of church actually means Why inherited churches still matter—and where they fall short Fresh expressions, microchurches, and lay-led ministry Discipleship vs. political or cultural substitutes for faith Listening as the starting point for mission Digital ministry as doorway, not replacement When and how churches may need to end faithfully The Rev. Dwight Zscheile, Ph.D. is professor of congregational mission and leadership at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. He is author of Embracing the Mixed Ecology: Inherited and New Forms of Christian Community Flourishing Together (with Blair Pogue, Seabury Books 2025), Leading Faithful Innovation: Following God into a Hopeful Future (with Michael Binder and Tessa Pinkstaff, Fortress, 2023), Participating in God's Mission: A Theological Missiology for the Church in America (with Craig Van Gelder, Eerdmans, 2018), The Agile Church: Spirit-Led Innovation in an Uncertain Age (Morehouse Publishing, 2014), People of the Way: Renewing Episcopal Identity (Morehouse Publishing, 2012) and The Missional Church in Perspective: Mapping Trends and Shaping the Conversation (with Craig Van Gelder, Baker Academic 2011), editor of Cultivating Sent Communities: Missional Spiritual Formation (Eerdmans, 2012) and co-editor (with Ed Olsworth-Peter) of The Starter's Way: Leading New Contextual Christian Communities (Church Publishing, 2025). A graduate of Stanford University (BA), Yale University (MDiv) and Luther Seminary (PhD, Congregational Mission and Leadership), he has served congregations in Minnesota and Virginia. Dwight's experience growing up in a secular home in California has shaped his commitment to helping the church cultivate Christian community with neighbors in today's changing world. The Rev. Canon Blair Pogue is the Canon for Innovation for the Episcopal Church in Minnesota. In that capacity she helps congregations all over the state go deeper in their practice of the Christian faith and rethink how they form disciples and engage the communities surrounding their church. She also runs learning communities for Episcopalians wanting to learn how to form Christian community with neighbors where they live, work, and play. Before joining Bishop Craig Loya's staff she was the rector of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in St. Paul for 16 ½ years, and before that she served two churches in the Diocese of Virginia, with a special focus on Christian formation. She is a graduate of Luther Seminary (D.Min in Congregational Mission and Leadership), Yale Divinity School (M.Div), and Whitman College (B.A.).   Mentioned Resources:

What happens when the need to appear competent becomes the very thing that disconnects us from others—and from ourselves? In this deeply honest and surprisingly funny conversation, Ian welcomes author, speaker, and Enneagram Three, Steve Cuss for a wide-ranging dialogue on anxiety, performance, false self, and the quiet freedom that comes with becoming more human-sized. Drawing from Steve's experience as a hospital chaplain, pastor, and leadership consultant, they explore why our most polished coping strategies often come from fear, how predictable patterns keep us stuck, and why anxiety is so contagious in families, churches, and organizations. Along the way, they unpack the Enneagram Three's drive to succeed, the exhaustion of self-presentation, the difference between ambition and authenticity, and why true maturity looks a lot like being relaxed—no masks required. Expect stories, laughs, hard-earned wisdom, and a refreshing reminder that you don't have to win the room to belong in it. If your nervous system needs a deep breath and your soul could use some permission to stand down from proving itself, this episode is for you.     About Steve Cuss Steve Cuss, M.Div. is a pastor, former chaplain, and founder of Capable Life, which helps people lower internal and relational anxiety in the workplace and homeplace.
