    Tag Team Preaching with Abby Miller

    In this special episode of More to the Story, I’m joined by my favorite guest of all time—my wife—to introduce a practical and engaging approach to delivering sermons together: Tag‑Team Preaching. We break down how this method works, why it has strengthened our ministry, and how couples or co‑communicators can use it to bring clarity, energy, and relational depth to the preaching moment. Together we explain how this method can create a richer experience for a congregation without losing focus or theological coherence. We share stories from our own experience, outline a simple framework for getting started, and offer guidance for making the transition smooth for both the preachers and the church. If you’re a pastor, teacher, or ministry leader interested in collaborative communication, this episode provides a practical, encouraging roadmap.

    Conservatism 101 with John Wilsey

    In this episode of More to the Story, I’m joined by historian and theologian Dr. John Wilsey to discuss his important new book, Religious Freedom: A Conservative Primer. John offers a clear, historically grounded, and theologically informed case for why religious liberty is essential to the American experiment—and why Christians should champion it not merely for themselves, but for everyone. We explore the intellectual roots of religious freedom, how conservative thinkers have approached the topic, and why protecting conscience is a distinctly Christian act of neighbor love. John also sheds light on current cultural debates, misconceptions about the First Amendment, and what a principled commitment to pluralism should look like for believers today. This thoughtful conversation helps us understand the past, navigate the present, and prepare for a future in which religious freedom must be intentionally preserved.

    Greater Than Campaign with Katy Faust

    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.

    American Saint - Francis Asbury and American Methodism with John Wigger

    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 Asbury Youtube - https://youtu.be/2xzLVzyG70Q Audio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcast Apple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4 John Wigger’s book: American Saint: Francis Asbury and the Methodists - https://a.co/d/058Udnmn If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses,  Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude and Heaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/courses And 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.

    The Real Story Behind The Exorcist: A Theologian Explains What Actually Happened with Brian Shelton

    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.

    Why the Chicago Statement Matters for Wesleyans Today with Matt O'Reilly - Part 2

    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 revelation Youtube - https://youtu.be/5dgCFypDxog Audio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcast Apple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4 If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses,  Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude and Heaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/courses And 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.

    Why Was Jesus Baptized? Identity, Anointing, and the Descent of the Spirit with Murray Vasser and Steve Blakemore

    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.
