  • Wesleyan perspective

    I find the content refreshing and specific to those who have an interest in the Wesleyan tradition. Andy is very personable and shares his perspective and insights from a Wesleyan vantage point. I appreciate the variety of guests that he has on the show as well as Andy‘s willingness to professionally share a difference of opinion or perspective. Definitely worth a listen to add into your podcast rotation. I am new to this podcast, but I have been a long time podcast enthusiast.

  • Excellent Insight!

    Andy breaks the mold: Unlike most hosts, he is not afraid to engage with whom he disagrees—but always in a professional and friend way. His natural curiosity and rock solid biblical background always ensures the listener learns a lot….and wants to find out more. I highly recommend “More to the Story” because, well, you will get more than you think!

  • Andy is the man!

    Andy Miller III is a ball of energy. He is excited about the discussions he gets into and it’s contagious to the listener. I appreciate the wide range of guests he brings on, while also being a sound orthodox, evangelical Wesleyan voice. I hope he continues these podcasts as he enters his role as president of WBS! My only critique would be to stop interrupting guests. It can be distracting.

  • Encouragement for the Faithful

    Dr. Miller is an important and trusted voice in encouraging and bringing together faithful followers within the pan-Wesleyan community. He is unapologetically committed to the inerrancy of scripture, and a worldview that embraces the great hope of sanctification!

    Andy and the guests on his podcast have often helped me to internally clarify, and externally articulate important issues related to living out a Wesleyan worldview the 21st-century.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Covenant and Polity with Samuel Padgett and Jonathan Bynum
Q: What are the practical implications for sacraments when elders oversee multiple congregations?
Elders would extend sacramental duties rather than granting full sacramental authority to deacons, ensuring oversight while avoiding a purely administrative role.
Covenant and Polity with Samuel Padgett and Jonathan Bynum
Q: How does covenant affect senior status and voice at annual conference?
Senior status remains connected to covenant; as long as individuals are in covenant, reporting annually and participating in accountability structures, they retain voice and vote.
Covenant and Polity with Samuel Padgett and Jonathan Bynum
Q: Jonathan, you mentioned a shift from pure polity to theological foundations. Can you describe how that shift changed the drafting process?
The room shifted from a legislative, rule-focused discussion to exploring deeper doctrinal principles, which then shaped the legislation beyond administrative changes into a covenantal way of living together.
Developing Lay Leaders with Aaron Perry
Q: Tell us a bit about your background and how you arrived at the focus on lay leadership in your work.
Aaron describes growing up in a ministry-minded home, his education path through Bethany Bible College and Asbury Seminary, his early pastoral work, and how experiences shaped his emphasis on lay leadership. He discusses balancing academic study with parish ministry and how that blend informs his approach to training and equipping laypeople for service.
Consider the Lilies with Howard Snyder
Q: How does the book relate Jesus to broader cultural issues like economy and technology?
The book uses Jesus as the focal point for interpreting culture; by asking what Jesus said and did, the author derives doctrines that speak to economics, science, and technology, showing how discipleship should shape all areas of life.
