It was a busy week all around! Frank took the pulpit at Lakeview, proving once again that he can preach and keep everyone awake. Tim decided to skip church altogether (don’t worry, he calls it “Sabbath”), and Andrew crashed Lakeview’s staff meeting like the uninvited intern he never was.

Over at Safety Harbor, there’s a new interim worship leader holding things down for a couple of weeks—because nothing says “holiday season” like a little transition. And just to keep things interesting, the church is kicking off a construction project right before Christmas. What could possibly go wrong?

Tune in for ministry updates, friendly roasting, and your weekly reminder that God’s still faithful, even when the building plans aren’t.

Thanksgiving week came and went, and Advent is officially underway! Lakeview kicked things off with their annual Advent Social, where the Larsen family lit the first candle of the season—hope, joy, and maybe just a little chaos.

Speaking of chaos, Tim managed to literally take out his brother-in-law at the annual Turkey Bowl, proving that family football is still a full-contact sport. Meanwhile, Andrew’s family celebrated the holiday Florida-style, hitting Disney not once but twice (yes, including the waterpark) and cheering on the Liberty Flames at the ESPN basketball tournament.

It’s a festive mix of family, faith, and football on this week’s episode of the Morning After Ministry Show!

It was a global week for the Morning After crew! Tim and Frank headed west to Arizona for a ministry conference, while Andrew crossed the Atlantic for a class in Belfast and even snuck in a Sunday visit to a church in London.

Back home, Lakeview literally had turkeys at church, while Safety Harbor hosted their annual Dinner of Thanks and ate turkey instead. So whether you were flying over the pond or frying up a bird, there was plenty to be grateful for.

Tune in as we catch up on travel stories, Thanksgiving leftovers, and all the ministry moments in between!
