  • Love the vision!

    Season 3 has been great learning more of the heart and vision of CGN. Pastor Nick has been doing a great job with hosting this season and love hearing straight from pastor Brian the vision he has for CGN and his perspective on things. Thanks guys for all that you do and I appreciate as a fellow CGN pastor you spreading the vision so well.

For Such a Time as This: A Conversation with Andrew Ollerton
Q: What final encouragement would you offer to church leaders who feel ill-equipped to discuss tough questions?
Keep faith in the Lord, rely on spiritual grounding rather than solely on resume or intellect, and cultivate joy in the Lord to make biblical teaching infectious and effective in a changing world.
For Such a Time as This: A Conversation with Andrew Ollerton
Q: Why is it important to equip church leaders to engage with hard questions, especially for younger generations?
Leaders are encouraged to host open series and small groups that address difficult topics, helping people understand the Bible as a coherent story and preventing youth from disengaging when confronted with challenging passages.
For Such a Time as This: A Conversation with Andrew Ollerton
Q: You recently released a book, God's Book. Can you explain why you chose seven tough questions and how you approach engaging with new believers and skeptics?
The book walks readers through Genesis to Revelation, tackling seven demanding topics to show how to read the Bible with its context in mind, helping Christians share their faith confidently and removing roadblocks for those curious about the Bible.
Ted Leavenworth: The Example of Jesus (John 13:1-17) - Message from the 2025 CGN International Conference
Q: Why would Jesus wash his disciples' feet?
He did it because he was motivated by love.
Ministering to the Wounded: Trauma & the Gospel - with Krista Fox
Q: Why do we need all this stuff? Why can't we just tell people, look, here's what the Bible says?
Because people have likely already been praying and seeking answers, and trauma recovery is a journey that takes time.
