Lunch on The Way
Kia Ora Koutou, and welcome to Lunch on The Way! We're three guys doing theology over lunch, and sometimes we'll do that with others. We talk about church, culture, theology, philosophy, and more, always wanting to be as practical as possible. This is a thinking podcast more than a teaching podcast. We want to warn you, that what's said here is not yet complete, because, like any good conversation, you never want it to end.

AJ Thomas | Is Preaching a Sacrament? Is Jesus Really in the Eucharist?
In this episode, Joey and Graeme interview AJ Thomas, who is one of the teaching and preaching pastors at Kings Church in New Brunswick, Canada. He also leads the Atlantic Kingdom Alliance which aims to bring together pastors and ministry leader from diverse theological and denominational background for the advancement of the gospel. They discussed his journey from youth ministry to church planting and his current role at King's Church, the importance of preaching as a sacramental act (distinguishing it from teaching), his theological evolution (particularly his engagement with Catholicism and its influence on his understanding of the Eucharist), the significance of communion in his previous church (Deep Water), and his approach to preaching as a craft rather than an art. AJ also mentioned his new role in the Atlantic Kingdom Alliance, focusing on interdenominational cooperation. The conversation touched on theological nuances, the impact of the pandemic on preaching, and AJ's writing of his new preaching book, "Preaching Craft," which can be found anywhere on Amazon.com
