The Team

Mike is married to Rachel, and along with their children, enjoy exploring the City of Cork and earning the coveted "customer of the month" title at their local coffee shop. Follow Mike on Twitter and Instagram: @mikeneglia.

Nick Cady is the lead pastor of White Fields Community Church in Longmont, Colorado. Before moving to Longmont in 2012, Nick spent 10 years in Hungary as a missionary, pastor, and church planter with Calvary Chapel. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Theology from the University of Gloucestershire (UK) and a master’s degree in Integrative Theology from the London School of Theology.
Nick is the author of Theology for the People, a blog and podcast discussing the intersection of theology and culture. Additionally, Nick is on the steering committee of the Expositors Collective, an organization that exists to equip and mentor the next generation of Christ-centered preachers. He also developed Cultivate, a program to assess, train, and deploy new church planters and missionaries.

When he is not preaching or teaching, you can find John at a local coffee shop meeting with and encouraging other local ministers; hanging out at home with wife and partner in ministry, Louise, his closest friend for 30 years; or throwing a ball to his dogs.

At 23, he moved to San Luis Obispo on California’s Central Coast to plant Calvary SLO Church, which has grown into an influential ministry with a strong emphasis on church planting and missions.
Bryan serves on the leadership team of Expositors Collective and, since 2023, has been travelling across the United States investing in and equipping preachers.
He is the father of two daughters, Brianna and Brooke, and enjoys time with his family, photography, coffee shops, and the surf.

The Podcast
How do you preach the familiar Christmas story without losing its wonder? In episode 457, five pastors share Advent and Christmas sermon series they have preached, with the biblical texts and pastoral thinking behind them.
Cody King (Reliance Church, Temecula) offers a four-week approach to the hope of Christ’s coming. Bruce Zachary (Calvary Nexus, Camarillo) considers how to honour familiar traditions while preaching with freshness. Miles DeBenedictis (Cross Connection Church, Escondido) shares three ways to plan a series. Steve Mathewson, a teaching pastor and seminary professor, traces a four-part series through Isaiah. Danny Keating (Calvary Waterford, Ireland) closes with “The Songs of Christmas,” drawing on Mary, Zechariah and Simeon in Luke 1–2.
These are ideas to help preachers study, plan and proclaim Christ—not scripts to copy.
