It was another wild weekend in ministry. Tim had a 10 a.m. wedding followed by a brunch reception, because nothing says “I do” like French toast and mimosas before noon. Frank hosted the very first launch meeting for Cross & Crown, and yes, both Andrew and Tim were there to cheer him on (and to eat the snacks, obviously).

Meanwhile, Andrew’s family got stuck in a classic Disney downpour, proving once again that “magical” and “miserable” can coexist in Central Florida. And in true preacher fashion, both Andrew and Tim preached longer than they were supposed to, because when the Spirit moves, clocks stop.

It’s Episode 307 of The Morning After Ministry Show, where we love Jesus, our churches, and a good brunch wedding.

We were off last week, Tim took a trip up to Jacksonville, Frank hit Disney, and Andrew apparently got “caught” visiting someone in a nursing home. Frank preached at Lakeview this Sunday and is somehow taking half the church with him to plant Cross & Crown. It’s not a split, it’s a strategic expansion. It’s Episode 306 of The Morning After Ministry Show, where we unpack Sundays, laugh at Mondays, and try to remember what day it actually is.

Well, the cops showed up. Not because of Frank’s two-week fundraising road trip, though that could’ve been a possibility. Not because Andrew said something odd from the pulpit (though, again, possible). No, this week we’re navigating Florida’s brand-new open carry law as churches, and it turns out that sometimes ministry intersects with law enforcement in ways you don’t expect.

Frank is back from his whirlwind tour raising money and telling stories across the country, Andrew got one of the strangest compliments a congregant has ever given him, and Tim had business as usual over at Lakeview.

It’s the Morning After Ministry Show—where Sunday is only half the story.
