Central Podcast: Episode 32

02.28.21 - There are four words every man, woman, and child need to hear. They are the four most important words ever spoken in any language. They have the power to comfort and to heal, to inspire new possibilities and to create new life, regardless of your station in life, your blurry past, your uncertain present, your perceived future, or your own views of yourself and your world no matter how accurate or distorted they may be. Speaker: Allan Stanglin

Meals With the Messiah: Four Words

02.21.21 - Meals are important as a place to experience and express community, acceptance, unity, and fellowship; for sharing, for getting to know other people, and for passing on and receiving wisdom. Together we are exploring seven meals that Jesus shared with others in the Gospel of Luke. This week we consider the meal at Levi’s house, during which our Lord refers to himself as a doctor who has come to heal the sick. Speaker: Allan Stanglin

Meals With the Messiah: House Calls

When did Lent start and why? And what good does it do to engage these ancient practices? Speakers: Allan Stanglin & Hannah McNeill

Central Podcast: Episode 34

01.31.21 - At the end of the story of Naomi and Ruth, God has moved this pair of widows from famine to feast, from emptiness to fullness, from bitterness to joy, from devastating death to everlasting life. As our redeemer, Jesus takes everything in our lives that has gone wrong and makes it right. He fixes in our lives what is broken. Whatever havoc the pandemic has wreaked in your life, whatever lingering effect you still feel, our God is committed to taking all of it into himself and creating something beautiful and eternal and new. Speaker: Allan Stanglin

Central Podcast: Episode 33

01.24.21 - In a recent survey of 1,000 American adults, 58% said the COVID-19 pandemic has changed their lives forever. There is no doubt the global pandemic has shifted society and changed our culture in irrevocable ways. But we also know that God is at work. A new normal is not to be feared, it is to be embraced as God’s time and place for something beautiful and eternal and new. Speaker: Allan Stanglin

Your New Natural

01.17.21 - This is the turning point in the story of Naomi and the turning point of our “Everything New!” series at Central. This is when you realize that God is at work in the bitterness and pain. Even in the middle of tremendous loss, God is moving the pieces into place and working out the timing and the details of his magnificent plans for your life. Speaker: Allan Stanglin

Your New Perspective

01.10.21 - When you look at yourself, do you focus on your struggles and your sins or on your holiness and righteousness in Christ? God is moving you into a brand-new place. And once you see it, your life will never be the same. Speaker: Allan Stanglin

Your New Address

12.27.20 - We all have questions as we head into the new year. When will the virus crisis end? How will the vaccines work? Will 2021 be better than 2020? The answer is that we belong to a God who does his very best work in the dark and his deliverance is always right around the corner. Join us in Romans 13:11-14. Speaker: Allan Stanglin

Closer Than You Think

12.13.20 - Waiting on Christ to appear is not a passive thing; it’s a roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty thing. Our Christian hope doesn’t ignore fear, anxiety, or trouble; it confronts it. The assurance we have doesn’t shy away from sickness, pain, or difficulty; it confronts all of that in the name and manner of Jesus, the one who came and is coming. Speaker: Allan Stanglin

Helpful in His Spirit

12.09.20 - Central's Communications Director, Hannah McNeill, joins Allan on today's podcast in a conversation about the Advent season. Why are the candles purple and pink?

Speakers: Allan Stanglin & Hannah McNeill

Central Podcast: Episode 31

12.06.20 - Christian hope is not a wishful thinking, it’s a confident leaning, or even leaping, into the promise of our God that he will one day make all things right. Something has happened that changed our lives and redirected our destinies. The Son of God came to this earth in our flesh and blood. And he is coming again. Speaker: Steve Cloer
