Sometimes you have to power through the beginnings of things.That seemed to be the case for the Louisville Economic Development Alliance (LEDA), a newly-formed group of local business leaders who are taking the reins of economic development under Mayor Craig Greenberg. The group got started this week under buggy circumstances, as Reporter Michael L. Jones explains on the Access Louisville podcast. Some of the issues included a failed attempt to record the public meeting, microphone feedback and an awkwardly arranged room that had members of the alliance sitting with their backs to the press in attendance.In spite of the issues, the effort does bring a lot of the city's biggest players in business to the table to focus on economic development. Among the board members are Lawson Whiting, president and CEO of Brown-Forman; Bill Carstanjen, CEO of Churchill Downs Inc. and Brian Cromer, partner and chair of the business and finance group at Stites & Harbison, PLLC. You can see the full list of who's on the board here. Also on the show this week, we discussed recent news that Fabletics is closing its Louisville facility. While the job losses are difficult, we reflect on whether there is a wider trend toward fatigue with subscription-based services. We also chat about a new bourbon attraction and upscale restaurant opening next to the KFC Yum Center on Whiskey Row. The facility opens in Main Street space that formerly housed Bearno's — and there's a Bearno's partner involved in the deal to establish the new spot, as Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt explains.Finally, we wrap up the show on a somber note by discussing the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a rally last week in Virginia. Sadly, the attempt served as a grim reminder of the dangers of political violence in America. It hit particularly close to home for Mayor Greenberg, who survived as assassination attempt himself while running for Mayor. Reporter Piper Hansen reflected on listening to the mayor talk about it during a press conference this week.
This message challenges us to return to our 'first love' - the passion and devotion we had when we first came to faith in Jesus. Using the words of Jesus to the church in Ephesus in Revelation 2, we are reminded how easy it is to lose our zeal over time, going through religious motions while our hearts drift away from true intimacy with God. The solution Jesus gives is to remember how far God has brought us, repent of anything drawing us away from Him, and redo the spiritual practices that kept us close to God at first. Ultimately, returning to our first love is vital not just for our own souls, but for the spiritual vitality and influence of the entire church. When we rekindle the fire of our faith, revival becomes possible. Ethos is a life-giving community committed to keeping Jesus at its Center. We are on a mission to love all people in Jesus' name so that we may all Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Purpose, & Make a Difference.

This series has showed how God was testing Joseph's character. These tests were about who God created Joseph to be, long before Joseph accomplished what God had called him to do. During the final week of our series, Nat Miller wraps things up by sharing what Joseph experienced during his purpose test.
To pardon someone (forgive) means to absolve them from the consequences of their fault. This week in our series, Pastor Brian continues Joseph's story by teaching the importance of forgiveness in forming and strengthening our character.
During this series, we are looking through the character tests Joesph experienced. At this point in his life, Joseph experienced great prosperity followed by great famine. This week, Pastor Brian shows how the choices Joseph made during his seven years of prosperity actually affected the next seven years of famine.
Seeing a dream become reality can often bring with it great power. In order to know God can trust us with that power, He needs to know we'll steward it responsibly. This week, Pastor Brian continues the series by showing how Joseph went through the power test.
It takes effort in order for dreams to become reality. Sometimes effort means forward-progress, but other times it simply means not giving up. This week we hear a message from Jasmine Miller describing Joseph's perseverance when he was put to the test.
The Bible instructs us to run from sexual sin in order to overcome temptation. This week we continue the story of Joseph by looking at why we should run from sexual sin, and what we should be running toward.
There are tests we go through while waiting for a dream to become a reality. The purpose of these is to test our character. Along with passing the tests, we also need to live a life of faithfulness in order to advance ourselves closer to our dreams.

God is always working, he He will never give up on you. In week two of the series, Pastor Brian continues with the story of Joseph by showing the reason we find ourselves facing challenges in life, and what our response to that challenge should be.
God has a plan, purpose, and dream for your life, and the best way to discover this dream is by getting to know God through relationship with Him. But even when you learn what that dream is, there will inevitably be a gap before it becomes reality. In this series, we will study the story of Joseph in Genesis to learn what we may experience while waiting for our God-given dream to become a reality.
Jesus was a friend of sinners. He displayed the perfect balance of grace and truth to everyone he encountered, regardless of their past. This week, Pastor Jason Laird brings a message highlighting this principle to show there are things we as Christians should display and stand for.
Happy Easter, from Queen City Church! As we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, Pastor Brian finishes our "Miracles" series by teaching what the resurrection was, and how it still affects us today.
When Jesus performs miracles for people in the Bible, we see Him meeting people at the level of their expectations. During the fourth week of our series, we look at two different miracles Jesus performed, and specifically at the faith of the two people who received the miracle.
Because of Jesus we can have peace, and with Jesus we can have miraculous peace in the midst of a storm. During week three of the series, Pastor Brian shares how all of the challenges in life, big or small, can be changed through the miracle of peace offered to us by Jesus.
Finding freedom from the enemy is part of the vision of our church, and part of the vision God has for your life. This freedom is found through a relationship with Jesus. During our second week of the series, Lauren Sheppard teaches how we have become free from the penalty of sin through Jesus, but that it can be a process to become free from the power of sin.
Jesus performed an uncountable number of miracles during his life, 38 of which are shared in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. During this series leading up to Easter, we will be looking at some of these miracles to learn what they teach us about Jesus. For our first week, Pastor Brian starts with one of the most well-known miracles performed by Jesus.
During this series, we have been looking at the different labels God gives us as his children. When Jesus gave his Sermon On The Mount, he referred to us as “salt and light”. As Pastor Brian concludes the series, he looks at this final label to teach us what Jesus meant by it, and what our response should be.
Through Christ's overwhelming victory over death, each one of us has access to overwhelming victory of our own. The same exact power that rose Jesus from the dead lives inside us! For our fifth week of the series, Pastor Brian talks about this power, and how it gives us the ability to overcome and conquer the things we never thought possible to change.
Jesus has chosen you. And as His child, Jesus will continue to choose you. No matter the size of our mistakes, God's grace is bigger. During the fourth week of our series, Pastor Brian shares the amazing news that Jesus continues calling out to us, and giving us the invitation to follow Him.
We are saved by God's grace, not by our works. And when we are saved and made new in Christ Jesus, we begin yielding to God's control so we can realize the assignment God has placed on our lives. This week, we are joined by Beth Cunningham from Church of the Highlands as she shares the amazing truth that you are God's masterpiece.
As Christians, we are called to be representatives of the kingdom of Heaven; we are called to be ambassadors, and help others experience reconciliation with God. During week two of the series, Pastor Brian shares why and how we are called to be God's chosen instrument to represent Him and His mercy.
Life has a way of putting labels on us, whether material, emotional or relational. Labels aren't always bad, but the order of them is very important. During our new series, Pastor Brian will teach that when you understand who God says you are, it will drastically impact how you live your life, and guide everything you do.
Just because we don't hear God's voice doesn't mean He isn't speaking. The thing that can stop us from hearing God's voice is most often our own not-listening. During week four of our series, Pastor Brian uncovers the things affecting our listening, and talks about how we can open our ears and prepare our hearts to hear God's voice.
God still speak to us, and He wants us to hear His voice. But when we pray, it can be confusing to know whether we are truly hearing from God. Today, Pastor Brian shares three questions to use in determining if the voice we're hearing is God's voice.
God will speak to you and your life, regardless of how well you know Him. During week two of our series focusing on how to hear God's voice, Pastor Brian teaches from the Book of Samuel to show how we can best position ourselves to hear from God.
The God that formed the universe with his mouth is still speaking to us today, and all we have to do is listen. During this new series, we will be looking at the theology which helps us understand how to hear God's voice loud and clear. This week, Pastor Brian starts by answering the question, “why does God still speak?”
Jesus teaches that prayer and fasting should be part of the normal rhythm of our lives, in order to keep aligned with God's will for us. This week, Nat Miller shares a message looking at the purpose, importance, and approach to prayer and fasting, in preparation for our upcoming series, “How To Hear God's Voice”.
The next year of your life can be the best year of your life, if it is the best year of your life spiritually. This Sunday, Pastor Brain shares tangible ways we can make 2022 the best year of our lives by modeling Jesus' growth in the Bible.
Merry Christmas! This time of year is filled with activities, commitments, and time with others, but are you leaving room for Jesus? Are you making room for Jesus? In chapter 2 of the book of Luke, we read about the Christmas story, and see that it all started with people not having enough room for Jesus. Whether you never have before, or you have in the past, what would it look like for you to make room for Jesus?
What could happen to our lives if we made room for Jesus? If we open up our entire lives and make room for Jesus, we also make room for everything He brings: peace, joy, strength, rest, freedom, and miracles, to name a few. During the second part of our “Make Room” series, Pastor Jason Laird shares what we can do, and expect, as we wait and make room for miracles.
Christmas season is busy. With parties, shopping, gifts, school, and jobs, there's rarely room for anything else. As we try to make room for everything this season, it's easy to not leave room for what we really need. Pastor Jason Laird joins us for two weeks to share the necessity of making room for Jesus this Christmas, and what Jesus brings to our lives when we invite Him in.
Giving has very little to do with our money, and everything to do with our heart. For the final week of our Beyond Blessed series, Pastor Brian shares a messages that outlines this truth in the first offering ever given to God.
The Bible teaches us, “Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.” (Proverbs 21:5). “Stewardship” is the term for doing this well. During week three of the Beyond Blessed series, Pastor Brian continues by teaching the principle of stewardship, and the things to watch out for that can sabotage our stewarding calling.
The message of the Bible is that God is the owner. So if He is the owner, what exactly belongs to God? During week two of our Beyond Blessed series, Pastor Brian shares a life-changing biblical principle that can shift our perspective and priority.
The word “blessed” means to have God's power working for you. God wants us to have a life full of blessing so we can use it and be a blessing to others. This week, we are starting a new series and focusing on what the Bible teaches about steps of obedience to help us live a blessed life.
God cares about you deeply, and cares about your assignment deeply. So much so, that before we were even created, God had prepared a plan for each of our lives. This week we have a special message from Heather Cromer inspiring us to see our part, and realize our part is just as valuable as those around us.
The topic of race is an ongoing discussion at school, at work, among friends and family, and at church. But how are those conversations forming and affecting our beliefs on the subject? For the final week of our series, Pastor Chuck Mingo from Crossroads Church shares a message to point people on both sides of the table toward seeing how Jesus sees, so we can love how Jesus loves.
If you have influence, you have leadership, and as a leader, you will leave a legacy that lasts beyond yourself. What do you want said about your role as a leader? This week, Pastor Brian uses a phrase from a parable in the Book of Matthew to illustrate how we can live our lives more like Jesus, and in turn become a better leader.
Jesus calls us to be kind and compassionate to one another, even forgiving each other, just as He forgave us. That's easy to do with the people we like, but how should we treat the difficult people in our lives? During week four of our series, Pastor Brian uses Paul's writing in the Book of Ephesians to give clear, biblical guidance on how to deal with difficult people.

Life is stressful. And there is nothing we can do to eliminate stress from happening. But there are ways we can manage it by relying on others, and learning what the Bible teaches about stress. During the second week of our series, Pastor Brian shows how with God, even when we have stress in our lives, we will have peace in our hearts.
