When a couple of women from our church, who had started a little podcast, invited me to chat about movies through a gospel lens, I jumped at the chance. That we got to talk about the Marvel Cinematic Universe was even more special! Note: I think I said a wrong thing about Captain America 2 and Zola's algorithm, and I wish I answered better on occasion (and said fewer umms), and also misnamed the Epic of Atrahasis as the Epic of Gilgamesh. https://www.steven-tran.com/episodes/reach-australia-transitioning-roles monthly 0.5 2025-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a3627c0071a169cca6cf2b/1738801482317-2IZRROYI6ADMBWRKJ42D/4571602-1620891553479-3b2911fa1113f-scaled-2.jpg Episodes - Reach Australia: Transitioning Roles - Transitioning Roles to Church Plan, Stepping into a Senior Role, Change Management in Churches Back in 2023 our church was preparing for a partnership plant. This meant big changes all around - our Senior Pastor was leading the plant, which meant that I had to step up into the role. Here’s an interview with Peter Hughes, Ben Ho, and myself, on this interesting transition. https://www.steven-tran.com/episodes/category/Travel monthly 0.5 https://www.steven-tran.com/episodes/category/Relationships monthly 0.5 https://www.steven-tran.com/episodes/category/Health monthly 0.5 https://www.steven-tran.com/episodes/category/Culture monthly 0.5 https://www.steven-tran.com/blog daily 0.75 2025-12-27 https://www.steven-tran.com/blog/ai-and-preaching monthly 0.5 2025-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a3627c0071a169cca6cf2b/4f8a41d1-5adc-4d50-b343-0fe87b3c4785/sermon+notes.jpg Blog - AI and Preaching - Make it stand out My Sermon Notes document is pretty extensive and asks heaps of questions about the passage and heaps of application questions. It’s designed to slow me down and help me think through the passage and sermon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a3627c0071a169cca6cf2b/4ea23c36-c493-4f36-bce9-d2ba7d254ac7/1+thess+Text.jpg Blog - AI and Preaching - Make it stand out Here’s where I begin - copying and pasting the ESV text.

It helps me visualise the passage and hone in on the main subject, point and purpose of the passage. https://www.steven-tran.com/blog/why-im-now-bringing-a-physical-bible-to-church-and-maybe-you-should-too monthly 0.5 2025-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a3627c0071a169cca6cf2b/e5566bb7-f752-4733-8f29-ddf3ce2c5f42/pssteve_A_physical_Bible_open_on_a_wooden_church_pew_natural__51995f44-7975-4ed0-8b79-1b6717c63bb5_0.png Blog - Why I’m Now Bringing a Physical Bible to Church (And Maybe You Should Too) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.steven-tran.com/blog/i-quite-liked-kpop-demon-hunters-and-yes-the-soundtrack-is-on-repeat-loudly monthly 0.5 2025-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a3627c0071a169cca6cf2b/52e3a7b8-2ae7-4157-be58-4d5b5a29e887/Kpop-Demon-Hunters-.webp Blog - I Quite Liked KPOP Demon Hunters (and yes, the soundtrack is on repeat loudly) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.steven-tran.com/blog/how-to-train-your-story monthly 0.5 2025-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a3627c0071a169cca6cf2b/3b09d2de-d111-4797-b4f7-0014171cdeaf/20250702_2116_Flying+Movie+Scripts_remix_01jz5dfttffgtbdm6ed0ercyvn.png Blog - How to Train Your Story - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.steven-tran.com/blog/dating-discipleship-and-dilemmas-your-questions-answered monthly 0.5 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a3627c0071a169cca6cf2b/3990c613-9ed7-4a41-bd90-0f2080f533b5/20250619_2150_Coffee+Table+Chat_simple_compose_01jy40b2z0f28acg2fy5djwhvn.png Blog - Dating, Discipleship, and Dilemmas: Your Questions Answered - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.steven-tran.com/blog/walking-with-jesus-when-the-person-youre-dating-doesnt monthly 0.5 2025-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a3627c0071a169cca6cf2b/41444fd6-d2fb-43ac-9795-cd3effd8aa15/20250619_2143_Diverging+Paths_simple_compose_01jy3zwx8veb39my7a6fh3sa5c.png Blog - Walking With Jesus When The Person You’re Dating Doesn’t - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.steven-tran.com/blog/what-does-the-bible-say-about-christians-dating-non-christians monthly 0.5 2025-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67a3627c0071a169cca6cf2b/f866ad70-94fe-4f05-abb8-618a35019a17/20250618_1608_Diverging+Forest+Paths_remix_01jy0tbb6zf33t4rd9w98fm08p.png Blog - What does the Bible say about Christians Dating Non-Christians?
