In this episode of Know Grow Go, Matt and Silas discuss Philippians 2 and what it means to live with humility, put others first, and pursue unity through Christlike love.
We also get into Halloween decorations, missing trash cans, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence in music and worship. Can AI create meaningful worship music? Where should Christians draw the line between using technology as a tool and replacing genuine human creativity?
Topics include:
Philippians 2 and Christlike humility
Marriage, self-care, and serving others
Halloween, dinosaurs, and neighborhood drama
AI-generated music and fake worship artists
Authenticity and the heart of worship
Using AI to enhance rather than replace creativity
The danger of becoming dependent on AI
Key takeaway: Technology can be a powerful tool, but it should serve rather than replace the human creativity, intentionality, and genuine worship that come from people made in God's image.

In this episode of Know Grow Go, we talk about spiritual practices, Bible engagement, prayer, and why the “big rocks” of the Christian life need to go in first.
We also discuss Philippians 1, what it means to live as citizens and soldiers of Christ, how Christians should think about suffering for Jesus, and why not every hard situation is persecution. Finally, we answer a listener question about Daniel 11, little-g gods, spiritual warfare, and the reality of unseen powers.
Topics include:
Bible engagement and spiritual practices Prayer, Sabbath, fasting, and community Putting the big rocks in first Philippians 1 and living worthy of the gospel Citizenship, courage, and suffering for Christ Faithfulness in high school and everyday life Daniel 11, little-g gods, and spiritual warfare
Key takeaway: Christians are called to prioritize life with God, stand firm with courage, suffer faithfully when loyalty to Christ costs us something, and stay watchful without fear because Christ has already given us what we need.

We also discuss congregational meetings, church leadership, Star Wars, and answer a listener question about why we don’t sing the Psalms word for word every week.
Topics include:
Student worship mentorship Training young leaders in the church Congregational meetings and church membership Psalm 111 and gratitude Star Wars, Rogue One, and pod racing Why churches sing songs based on the Psalms The value of writing new worship songs
Key takeaway: The church should treasure the Psalms, sing truth rooted in Scripture, and continue writing new songs that help God’s people worship Him faithfully.
