The Non-Essential Showdown
Episode description
This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Josh Hensley welcomes the “dream team” — Alicia Lancaster, Justin Eshenbaugh, and Michael Shearon — for a fun and thought-provoking mix of laughs, food debates, and serious faith discussion. They kick things off with the game Essential Truth or Personal Preference, weighing in on everything from pineapple on pizza and ketchup on steak to flip-flops in the pulpit.
The conversation then shifts to Justin’s sermon from Romans 14, unpacking how to navigate disagreements in the church. The team discusses knowing the difference between core biblical truths and personal convictions, yielding sacrificially to protect unity, and correcting humbly with love and relationship. Real-life examples from ministry and family life make the principles practical. They also preview upcoming events, including Steve Buttram’s message on community, Friend Day with lakeside baptisms, and the women’s Going Beyond simulcast with Priscilla Shirer.
