  • Ministry Mentorship: Why Leaders Must Stay Teachable with Bryan Stupar

    Ministry Mentorship: Why Leaders Must Stay Teachable with Bryan Stupar
    Jan 6 2026

    Ministry Mentorship: Why Leaders Must Stay Teachable

    with Bryan Stupar

    In this episode of the Expositors Collective podcast, Bryan Stupar reflects on pastoral and ministry mentorship, not as a leadership technique or growth strategy, but as a deeply biblical, historical, and relational pattern of discipleship.

    Drawing from Scripture, church history, and decades of pastoral experience, Bryan argues that formation in ministry requires proximity, humility, and a posture of lifelong learning. Mentorship, he suggests, is not optional for Christian leaders because even Jesus, in His humanity, learned obedience through suffering. If growth and formation marked the life of Christ, how much more must leaders remain teachable.

    Bryan begins by rooting mentorship in the Great Commission, showing that discipleship necessarily involves teaching, modelling, and replication. He then explores the relationship between Paul and Timothy as an example of life-on-life formation that extends far beyond content delivery to include conduct, character, faith, and endurance.

    The episode also addresses the cultural challenges facing leaders today, particularly the pull of expressive individualism and self-centred leadership. Bryan contrasts this with the way of Jesus, which calls leaders to humility, service, and continual growth rather than performance and self-promotion.

    Along the way, he traces the historical roots of mentorship, from Homer’s Odyssey to pivotal Christian relationships such as Ambrose and Augustine, showing how faithful investment in others has shaped the church across generations. He then turns practical, highlighting the benefits of mentorship: growth through feedback, grace-filled support, and guidance through modelling.

    Bryan closes with personal reflections from his own pastoral journey, sharing how mentors shaped him through honest conversations, observation, and lived example. His encouragement is simple but challenging: none of us grow alone, and faithful ministry requires inviting trusted voices to speak into our lives.

    This conversation is a reminder that Christian leadership is formed over time, in community, and always with Jesus as the aim.

  • The Art of Prophesying with Shane Deane

    The Art of Prophesying with Shane Deane
    Dec 30 2025
    In this episode of the Expositors Collective podcast, Mike Neglia is joined by Shane Deane for a wide-ranging conversation on Puritan preaching, with particular attention to William Perkins’ The Art of Prophesying and the Puritan emphasis on application.Rather than treating the Puritans as mere historical figures or quotable voices, this discussion explores how their preaching method remains deeply relevant for modern pastors. Shane helps unpack why clarity, structure, and especially wise application were central to Puritan preaching, and how these convictions can shape Christ-centred exposition today.The conversation also turns to the often-neglected practice of pastoral prayer in gathered worship, drawing on Puritan theology and practice to show why public prayer is not filler, but a vital act of shepherding the congregation before God.Topics CoveredShane’s first sermon and how his preaching has developed over timeWhat first drew Shane to the Puritans and their preaching methodThe danger of treating the Puritans as “quote machines”William Perkins’ The Art of Prophesying, with a focus on Chapter 6The fourfold Puritan preaching pattern:Reading the textExplaining its meaningDrawing out doctrineApplying truth to the hearersWhy Perkins warned against cluttering sermons with excessive citationsWhy application was the heartbeat of Puritan preaching“Discriminating application” and addressing different kinds of hearers in one sermonPerkins’ categories of hearers and how they challenge one-size-fits-all preachingThe Directory for Public Worship and its heavy emphasis on applicationThe six Puritan “uses” of application:InformationRefutationExhortationAdmonitionComfortTrial (self-examination)Why pastoral prayer belongs at the heart of gathered worshipHow public prayer functions as shepherding, not transition timeThe connection between preaching, prayer, and spiritual formationWhich Puritan habits could most immediately strengthen modern preachingHow studying the Puritans has shaped Shane’s own preachingA closing “quote machine” segment featuring memorable Puritan linesKey TakeawaysPuritan preaching was deeply pastoral, not merely academicApplication is not an appendix to exposition, but its goalStructure serves clarity and freedom rather than rigidityToo many quotations can obscure rather than illuminate ScripturePastoral prayer is a theological act that teaches, shepherds, and forms a congregationPreaching and prayer together shape the spiritual life of the churchAbout the GuestShane Deane earned his PhD in Expository Preaching from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

  • Deliver the Meal, Don't Drop the Plate: Homiletics with Nate Morris

    Deliver the Meal, Don't Drop the Plate: Homiletics with Nate Morris
    Dec 22 2025

    At our Longmont training event, Pastor Nate Morris explores the heart behind preaching and the practical movements that help us communicate Scripture faithfully. Opening with a story about waiting tables, Nate reminds us that preachers do not invent the meal. We carry what God has already prepared and deliver it with care. This session combines pastoral insight, clear structure, and encouragement for anyone who wants to handle God’s word well.

    About Pastor Nate Morris

    Nate Morris is the lead pastor of Mountain Life Calvary Chapel, a multi location church serving Vail, Gypsum, and Glenwood Springs, Colorado. He and his wife Jen live in the Colorado mountains with their children Caleb, Zoe, and Josiah. Having grown up in the mountains himself, Nate has a deep passion to see mountain communities reached and transformed by the gospel.

    He hosts Truth and Love with Nate and Jen Morris and is a regular contributor to Mountain Life Church’s Unscripted podcast. You can learn more at mountainlife.church, follow @natemorris1, or visit pastorn8.com.

    Speaking with the Weight of Scripture

    1 Peter 4:11 calls those who speak to speak as those delivering God’s words. Nate anchors the room in this reminder: preaching is a sacred trust. Our role is not to improve the message but to carry it faithfully, just as a good waiter brings a prepared meal without dropping the plate.

    Two Questions That Shape Every Sermon

    1. Where am I taking them?
      Preaching needs a clear destination shaped by the passage itself.
    2. How do we get there?Listeners need a guided path. Structure is one of the ways we serve them well.

    Caring for Souls Through the Word

    Nate highlights the preacher’s pastoral task: understanding people’s real needs and showing how the gospel addresses them. As Samuel Brengle observed, the truth in Jesus brings healing to every kind of spiritual condition. Preaching becomes an act of care as we discern and apply Scripture wisely.

    Five Movements That Help People Follow the Message

    1. Introduction

    Help listeners orient themselves to the theme and direction of the passage.

    2. Necessitation

    Show why the message matters and surface the tension the text resolves.

    3. Exposition

    Open the Scriptures carefully. Let the text drive the content.

    4. Application

    Invite people to respond. Show what trust, obedience, or repentance looks like in daily life.

    5. Inspiration

    Leave listeners with hope in Christ, not pressure to perform.

    Tools That Support Clear and Helpful Delivery

    Humour, illustrations, vulnerability, inflection, and physical movement can all help the message connect, provided they serve the text rather than distract from it.

    Working Heartily, Depending Fully

    Nate ends by reminding us that preaching is both labour and reliance.
    Colossians 3:23 calls us to work heartily for the Lord, while Augustine’s well known line captures the balance: pray as though everything depends on God, work as though everything depends on you.
