#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. Whether you're a Miley Cyrus fan or just intrigued by the discourse, this episode promises a balanced and insightful discussion.Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW BEYOND SUBSCRIPTIONS1. CASH APP2.

#5050 Two Bi-vocational Guys Talk: loss, ministry, and business.
Send us a Text Message - include your name!This marks the 50th episode of Faith Over Breakfast Season 5—an unexpected milestone that landed in a conversation worth celebrating. In this episode, Pastor Andy reconnects with Andrew Hamilton, all the way from Australia, finding that rare window where Arizona mornings meet Australian evenings.Both men have written books on bivocational ministry—Andy’s Part Time Pastoring and Andrew’s The Future is Bivocational (https://a.co/d/eqUToXk). While they certainly talk ministry, business, and the rhythms of working two callings at once, it’s the deeper layers that stand out: stories of grief and growth, of holding onto faith through seasons of loss, and of finding new ways to speak the gospel into a post-Christian culture.This one isn’t just for pastors—it’s for anyone wondering how faith and work, pain and purpose, might actually belong together.Andrew Hamilton’s Book The Future is BivocationalAndy Littleton’s book: Part-time PastoringSupport the showSUPPORT THE SHOW BEYOND SUBSCRIPTIONS1.

#5049 Raw. Real. Pastor Eric.
Send us a Text Message - include your name!In this episode of Faith Over Breakfast, Pastor Eric lets it all out—raw, unfiltered, and uncomfortably real. He speaks not from a manuscript, but from the mess of his mind and heart. Thoughts pour out in no particular order—some heavy, some searching, others simply honest. It’s not polished. It’s not tidy. But it is true.Pastor Andy, ever the steady companion, does his best to keep pace—offering presence more than answers, listening as much as responding. What unfolds between them isn’t a performance; it’s a window into what pastoral life really looks like when the mask slips and the questions rise to the surface.This episode isn’t for those looking for neat theology or airtight encouragement. It’s for those who wonder if their pastors wrestle like they do—who need to know that even shepherds stumble, that even leaders have days where the fog doesn’t lift. And yet, even here, in the middle of the ache, there's a quiet reminder: Christ is no stranger to the wilderness. He’s already there, waiting.Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW BEYOND SUBSCRIPTIONS1.
