  Leadership Night - Lessons from Jack Welch

  Sep 10, 202656 min

  Pastor Mel draws six leadership lessons from Jack Welch, the legendary CEO who grew General Electric many times over. Control your destiny, or someone else will. Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be. Be candid, honest "to the last ten percent," because clarity is a kindness. Don't manage, lead (and know the difference). Change before you have to, the cautionary tales of Kodak, Blackberry, and Blockbuster. And if you don't have a competitive advantage, don't compete. Q&A follows.

  BACK40 E129 - Predicting A.I., Contagious Sin, Equally Yoked

  Sep 10, 20261h 11m

  In this episode we start with artificial intelligence: how these systems are climbing from narrow tools toward something far more general. We talk about the "alignment problem", then we pivot to a hopeful call for writing true, useful material a means of influencing the future of thought. Next we talk about sin as something contagious: Paul's picture of a little yeast working through the whole batch of dough, how sin now spreads by ideas and crowds more than by geography, and the difference between a faith that is simply immature and one that was never really our own. We finish on marriage and the dangers of being unequally yoked. We discuss why it matters for a believer to marry a believer, why the warning is so hard to hear once two hearts are already joined, and why marriage was never meant to complete us, but to make us holy.

  Romans - Week 20: Romans 12:3-8

  Sep 6, 202653 min

  Pastor Eran Holt preached Romans 12:3-8, picking up one week after Pastor Mel's message on being transformed by the renewing of your mind. Eran's driving question was practical: if God has really transformed a person, what would you actually see? Paul answers by naming four ordinary places a changed life shows up — how you see yourself, how you see others, how you see your gift, and how you finally live. Eran spent the most time on the first: "sober judgment," which he defined as seeing yourself accurately, measured by the faith God gave you rather than the person next to you. Insecurity is not the opposite of pride but the same root wearing a different face, "both are obsessed with the need to impress other people," and "both are obsessed with me." From there he walked the body of Christ where "each member belongs to all the others," the gift that is grace "entrusted to me for somebody else," and the warning that the enemy lies about your gift because he cannot take it away.

  Romans - Week 19: Romans 12:1-2

  Aug 30, 202653 min

  Pastor Mel reaches the great pivot of Romans — the "therefore" of chapter 12, where Paul turns from eleven chapters of what God has done to how a changed people now live. In view of God's mercy, Paul pleads with us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice. Mel grounds an acceptable sacrifice in the Old Testament pattern of the first and the best, then turns to verse 2: don't be conformed to this world but be transformed. That transformation comes by the renewal of the mind — the Spirit's work — which runs on repentance. The payoff: a renewed mind is how you discern God's good, pleasing, and perfect will.

  Men's Event - Every Day Carry: Prayer

  Aug 30, 202643 min

  Pastor Mel preaches a message on prayer. Prayer is not a religious task to complete, but an ongoing, open-ended conversation with God that needs no fancy words, no set hour, and no particular volume. Quoting Dietrich Bonhoeffer — "it matters little what form of prayer we adopt, or how many words we use; what matters is the faith which lays hold on God" — Mel reframes prayer for anyone who has ever felt awkward or inadequate at it. He then walks four benefits of prayer: silence, peace, presence and intimacy. From there he teaches how to pray by examining the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 line by line, in plain language, closing with Leonard Ravenhill and Daniel Henderson and a challenge to pray out loud over the people we're called to protect. The refrain that carries the whole message: prayer doesn't change God — prayer changes us.
