🎙️ 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.
