Fine, I'll Ask

🎙️ Episode Summary In this episode of CLF Conversations, Perry and Pastor Dave answer candid follow-up questions to the Shared Values series. They explore what “gospel-centered” really means, why continuationism is a shared value, how elder leadership functions, biblical submission in marriage, the realities of church planting, and how unity can be preserved in a growing church of sinners. The conversation clarifies convictions while keeping the gospel central. 🌍 Key Topics Covered What gospel-centered actually means Open-handed vs. shared convictions Biblical marriage authority Elder plurality and decision-making Church planting strategy Preserving unity amid growth 💬 Discussion Highlights Slogans don’t define faithfulness—practice does. Open-handed doesn’t mean optional. Authority in marriage and church is cruciform. Church planting requires preparation, not impulse. Unity is fragile—but worth guarding. 📖 Scripture References 1 Corinthians 2:2 Galatians 1:6 Ephesians 5:22–25 Acts 20:28 Acts 13:2 Ephesians 4:3 Philippians 2:2 📌 Takeaway Questions Is the gospel central in my life—or assumed? Do I see authority as protection or threat? Am I contributing to unity—or quietly eroding it? Do I pray for future church plants? Does my theology produce humility? 🎤 Sermon Mentioned: The Gift of Tongues https://clfroseburg.com/sermons/the-gift-of-tongues/ 🔗 Stay Connected Subscribe to CLF Conversations wherever you listen.
