S11:E13 Faith Over Breakfast: Community, Calling, and Staying When It Gets Hard (Bonus Episode)
<p>From the rise (and fall) of the emerging church to the challenges of post-evangelical faith, from seminary formation to everyday discipleship, this episode captures what it sounds like when leaders wrestle honestly with where the church has been—and where it’s going.</p><p>In this special crossover episode, <strong>David Fitch</strong> and <strong>Mike Moore</strong> join <strong>Andy Littleton</strong> and <strong>Eric Cepin</strong> from the <a href="https://faithoverbreakfast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Faith Over Breakfast</a> podcast for a wide-ranging, unscripted conversation on ministry, theology, and life in the real world.</p><p>Drawing from their shared (and sometimes diverging) experiences in the emerging church movement, the conversation explores why some communities deconstructed and disappeared—while others stayed rooted and endured. Along the way, they reflect on the role of deep community, the dangers of untethered deconstruction, and why faith must remain centered on Jesus, not just ideas or experiences.</p><p>At the center of it all is a shared conviction: you don’t get to make the faith up as you go. You receive it, wrestle with it, and live it out in real communities with real people.</p><p>Listen to more episodes of Faith Over Breakfast: https://pod.link/1242441594 </p><h3>🎙️ In This Episode:</h3><ul><li>Reflections on the emerging church movement—and what led to its fragmentation</li><li>Why some leaders deconstructed out of faith while others stayed rooted</li><li>The role of deep, committed community in sustaining belief</li><li>The tension between therapy, self-discovery, and Christ-centered discipleship</li><li>Why theology must be lived, not just learned in classrooms</li><li>What makes a church (or seminary) actually form people for real life</li><li>Why context shapes ministry—and why no model transfers cleanly</li></ul><br/><h3>📌 Key Moments:</h3><ul><li><strong>[00:06:00]</strong> Eric’s story: planting in the emerging church and staying rooted </li><li><strong>[00:16:00]</strong> Community as the anchor through doubt and theological shifts </li><li><strong>[00:22:00]</strong> When therapy replaces discipleship—and how to bring Jesus back to the center </li><li><strong>[00:31:00]</strong> “You don’t get to make it up”: receiving the faith across generations </li><li><strong>[00:36:00]</strong> Every church is a seminary—whether it realizes it or not </li><li><strong>[00:43:00]</strong> Why ministry must be contextual, not formulaic </li><li><strong>[00:56:00]</strong> Culture, power, and understanding the moment for mission </li></ul><br/><h3>💡 Takeaway</h3><p>Faith isn’t formed in isolation or ideology—it’s formed in community, through struggle, and in submission to Jesus. In a time when many are tempted to walk away or reinvent everything, this conversation reminds us: stay rooted, stay honest, and stay with the people God has given you.</p>
