Roger Helland’s life as a pastor, leader, and professor has yielded some helpful insights for the church.

In Life in the Negative World , author Aaron M. Renn looks at the lessons from Christian cultural engagement over the past seventy years and suggests specific strategies for churches, institutions, and individuals to live faithfully in the “negative” world—a culture opposed to Christian values and teachings. And since there is no one-size-fits-all solution, living as a follower of Christ in the ne...

Today’s podcast is a sermon I preached called ‘On Dead Ends’ and is based on Exodus 13:19. This passage comes as the Israelites come to the dead end of the Red Sea. I was interested to read the detail that Joseph’s bones were brought with the Israelites as they made this journey. This sermon challenges us to consider where God is when we face life’s dead ends.  Youtube - https://youtu.be/DN3XbaOuf...

The #HeGetsUs campaign has been a hot topic as a result of a #SuperBowlLVII commercial. This podcast was a live conversation I hosted on Facebook with Drs. Robert Gagnon and Steve Blakemore about their thoughts concerning this commercial and the messages conveyed through it.

On a random Monday morning, I walked into Wesley Biblical Seminary’s office and met alumnus Bevan Stein. After a two-hour conversation with him, I said, “I’ve got to share some of your story with my podcast audience.” That’s how this podcast came to be. Bevan’s calling to missionary service in Slovakia is amazing. He has been obedient to the vision God has given him. I loved hearing how God has le...

More than 7,500 Churches have disaffiliated from the United Methodist Church. These churches have an opportunity to start fresh in a new denomination. The danger is that these churches will simply revert back to habits of an old culture and not take advantage of this pivot to make more disciples. Today, I talk with renowned Church health expert, Thom Rainer about how churches can leverage this mom...

“Today we are told to be true to ourselves, look within for answers, and follow our hearts. But when we put our own happiness first, we experience record-breaking levels of aimlessness, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. Self-centeredness always fails to deliver on its promises.” On Today’s podcast, I talk to Thaddeus Williams about his new book ‘Don’t Follow Your Heart,’ which  “debunks the ‘te...

Perhaps no other literary figure has transformed the American religious landscape in recent history as much as C. S. Lewis. But who exactly was reading his work? And how was he received? With fresh research and shrewd analysis, noted historian Mark A. Noll considers the surprising reception of Lewis among Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, and evangelical readers to see how early readings of the...

How can Christians understand the motivations behind the religious war between Israel and Palestine? Palestine is under the control of Hamas. Hamas operates from a theological worldview. What is that worldview, and how can we better understand it? Today, I talked with Dr. Benjamin Hegeman to answer these questions. He issues a clear challenge to us about how we can best pray for Muslims.  Youtube...

Grace Hamman is a scholar of medieval literature. She leverages her extensive reading to help us see unique and powerful images of Jesus from the medieval period.

Ted Kluck is a professor of journalism at Union University in Jackson, TN. He has written several books on sports, Christianity, Christian culture, and the intersection of those ideas. As an athlete and commentator, he brings a unique slant to a host of topics. His book, “Why We’re Not Emergent,” co-written with Kevin DeYoung, brought his writing to my attention and I’ve followed him since then. I...

Ben Witherington III suggests that churches and Christians are taking their signals and sense of direction from the culture rather than the biblical witness itself. That’s why he has written Sola Scriptura, a book that clarifies Scripture as the “final authority in the modern world.” Ben was one of my teachers and has written a commentary on every New Testament book. Baylor University Press calls...

Nadya Williams is a military historian and has written a fascinating new book called “Cultural Christians in the Early Church.” She argues that cultural Christians were the rule, rather than the exception, in the early church. This was a fascinating conversation that I think you will enjoy. Youtube - https://youtu.be/nljoYrN9NNk Audio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcast Apple -  https://podc...

Recently a friend asked if I had any resources for new Christians. The first part of today’s podcast is an answer to my friend’s question, “I’m following Jesus, Now What?” Two years ago, my kids joined me for a Thanksgiving podcast. They’re back again, this time they're taller and wiser. I had these fun conversations with three of my favorite people in the world: Andy, Titus, and Georgia Miller. Y...

He is currently Research Professor Emeritus of New Testament and Early Christianity at St Mary’s College in the University of St Andrews and Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford. He is the forme...

I love having Dr. David Clarke on my podcast. Not because I like the subject, but because he has a message that many people need to hear. Also, Dr. Clarke is a lot of fun and a friend of mine. Too many people carry guilt about divorce. Dr. Clarke helps us with thinking theologically and psychologically about divorce and how we can move beyond pain from our past.  Youtube - https://youtu.be/23G2lxc...

Fr Calvin Robinson has boldly challenged woke trends in church and society. He is an Anglican Deacon in the GAFCON affiliated Free Church of England, otherwise called the Reformed Episcopal Church in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (REC), and currently serves Christ Church Harlesden. I was encouraged by his testimony and the fierce way he proclaims the ‘faith once for all...

I am excited that my friends Chris Bounds, Matt Ayars, and Caleb Friedeman have published a new book called Holiness: A Biblical, Historical, Systematic Theology . This book was released this week and at WBS we hosted a conference centered around this important text. It describes holiness as the normative Christian experience that every person should seek. On today’s podcast, I host a panel discus...

Jeffrey Rickman is forging a new path as he seeks to serve Jesus during this Wesleyan moment.
