Show Notes [29:05] — 16 Questions from Chasing Elephants for navigating gray areas of Christian freedom: Is the decision within the moral will of God? Is the decision being made in the attitude of Christ? (Romans 15:1–13) Is the decision being made under control of the flesh or the Holy Spirit? (Galatians 5:13–26) Will the decision have a positive spiritual impact on self? (1 Corinthians 6:12, 10:23–24) Will this decision addict or enslave? (1 Corinthians 6:12) Is this decision consistent with the rule of Christian living? Will the decision hurt a fellow believer spiritually or set a spiritual deathtrap? (Romans 14:13) Will the decision have a positive spiritual impact on fellow believers? (Romans 14:19; 1 Corinthians 10:23–24; Galatians 6:1–10) Does the decision go against conscience? (Romans 14:14) Will the decision disrupt fellowship or damage relationships within community? (Romans 14:15) Will the decision damage reputation? (Romans 14:16) Will the decision remove focus from the big picture of God's kingdom? (Romans 14:17–19) Is the decision being made out of a selfish heart, or will it offend? (Romans 14:20–21; 1 Corinthians 10:32) Can the decision be imitated by others who understand freedom? (1 Corinthians 10:33–11:1) Is the decision being made in light of the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ? (1 Corinthians 9:19–24; 10:33) Will the decision glorify God — will it make a big deal about Jesus? (1 Corinthians 10:31; Galatians 6:11–16) __ [39:39] — Books mentioned: Dr. John Lennox's two books on AI 2084 and the AI Revolution, Updated and Expanded Edition: How Artificial Intelligence Informs Our Future God, AI and the End of History: Understanding the Book of Revelation in an Age of Intelligent Machines

Revelation 2:1-7

Pastor Ethan sits down with Dr. Brent Crowe, President of Student Leadership University and a friend of Central for over five years, for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, failure, and following Jesus with everything you've got. They talk about SLU's recent trip to Egypt and what it's like to watch students risk everything for their faith in a country where following Jesus can cost you your life, what Brent's learned about leadership, friendship, and collaboration over 20+ years of ministry, why failure isn't the opposite of faithfulness, and what it means to ask, "What would the world look like if God got His way?" Whether you lead a team, a family, or just yourself this one will challenge how you think about influence.

Revelation 1:9-20

Whoever wants the next generation most will get them. Pastor Ethan sits down with Mike Korgan (Student Pastor) and Ally Hetrick (Kids Director) to talk about what God did this summer at Central — hundreds of volunteers, kids and students at summer camp side by side at Lake Yale, and conversations that turned into baptisms. Then they look ahead: Wednesday nights, Jingle Jam, DNOW, and a school year already full of new families walking through the doors. This is what it looks like when a church actually invests in kids and students not as a side program, but as the front line. --- Everywhere Everyday is a podcast from Central Church, equipping everyday believers to enjoy Jesus by really following Him everywhere, every day.

Revelation 1:1-8

Welcome to the first episode of the Everywhere Every Day Podcast! In this episode, Ethan Crowder and Casey Sherman sit down to talk about what it means to enjoy Jesus by really following Him everywhere, every day. They walk through the four-part strategy Central has been exploring together as a church: Sunday Gathering, Central Circle, Central Equip, and Neighbor Network. This conversation goes beyond simply explaining the strategy. Ethan and Casey talk about why the church matters, why we need one another, how we can use the unique gifts God has given us, and what it looks like to take what we learn on Sunday into Monday and every day that follows. They also talk about reaching the people God has already placed around us and how our mission is both local and global. Whether you've been at Central for years or you're just getting connected, we hope this conversation encourages you to take another step toward really following Jesus—not just on Sundays, but everywhere, every day.
