Church Things

Blake is joined by Tim, Kevin, and Phillip to discuss what we think Central could be doing better. While we love Central greatly, we want to be honest about where we believe we have room to grow. We’d love to hear from you and we hope you enjoy this episode. 

Join Blake, Tim, Braxton, and Phillip as they dive into the current sermon series they are preaching on the pressing issues of our culture. Get a behind-the-scenes look at their preaching process and hear how they are navigating the complexities of our current cultural moment. 

In today's world, there are so many different ways our kids might be dealing with trauma.  For this month's podcast, we brought in some experts to explore the question of if it is possible to "trauma proof" our kids.  This is a different format for our podcast.  This is a recording from one of our Parent Talks that took place this last Spring.  We think this conversation is extremely valuable to our parents but also for our students and for adults without kids as well.  We pray you find some value in what is said and let's keep this conversation going and take active roles in our kids lives!

Blake sits down with Stacy Sagely and Phillip Scoggins to discuss the value of reading the Bible and some strategies we can use when we struggle with the desire to get into God's Word.
