We’re back in the studio for Episode 299, shaking off the summer sand and diving into all the ministry mayhem we missed while you were at camp, VBS, or just trying to survive without air conditioning.

In this episode:

• We share our best (and worst) Baptism Sunday strategies—what worked, what flopped, and how to keep the water warm and the volunteers sane.

• Frank gives us the inside scoop on Vision Sunday at Lakeview and the official launch of Cross & Crown Church, complete with a new logo and fresh t-shirts (soft cotton, obviously).

• Oh, and yes... there’s a real-life waffle stomp story. It’s exactly what you’re afraid it is.

As always, we’re bringing honest talk about life, ministry, and the strange things that happen the morning after.

Rate, review, share it with your worship pastor, and please—for the love of all that is holy—check the drain cover before you hop in the church baptismal.

After nearly two months of summer chaos, & vacations, The Morning After Ministry Show is back in action. Andrew preached right off vacation (because of course he did), Tim didn't preach (classic), and Frank was sweating it out preaching in Texas. We're also joined by our good friend, fellow pastor, and author Adam Powers to help us kick off this new season of ministry mayhem.We’re catching up, comparing sermon rust, recapping Sunday services, and reflecting on what it means to rest and return well. Join us as we dust off the mics and jump back into the rhythms of life, ministry, and Monday morning recaps.You missed us, right? Good. We missed you too.

It finally happened: Frank invited Tim to his house—no cameras, no podcasting, just good old-fashioned hospitality (and probably snacks). Meanwhile, Andrew’s house turned into party central, with a graduation-birthday-graduation-birthday combo that could only be survived with cake and caffeine.Also, May decided to go full youth ministry mode on us. All three of us were knee-deep in youth events, camps, sleepless nights, and questionable group game decisions. We’re still recovering, and our group texts prove it.In this episode: • Frank opens the door to friendship—and his living room. • Tim shares the highs and headaches of student ministry in May. • Andrew’s calendar has been nothing but “Congrats, Grad!” and “Happy Birthday!” • Plus: burnout talk, late-night ministry texts, and why May is the real church Olympics.Pour yourself another cup of Monday coffee and join us for a raw, real, and ridiculous conversation on life, ministry, and the chaos in between.
