Seth and Luke tackle more of the questions that were submitted during Ask Anything. They tackle these questions:

• What is the church's structure for leadership and accountability from a leadership perspective
with the pastors and elders? And how does the church approach addressing unrepentant sin
within the leadership and/or within the body?

• We hear from men from preaching on Sundays. Where are the places we can hear and learn from
women? And who are they?

• What vision would you give to young singles having a hard time finding purpose?

• As our church grows and the pastor to member/attended ratio grows, how should we view the role of a pastor at Ironwood in 2025? Said another way, are there ways to feel pastored like a small church pastor would with more “touch” while attending an ever growing church?

• I know the church’s stance on homosexuality. I would like to know how this church would react/respond to an openly homosexual couple or transgender individual who would regularly attend church.

• Why don't we use the extra books that are used in the Orthodox Christian Bible? What is your take on the Gospel of Mary? Mary Magdalene was obviously close to Jesus and why would we exclude her? Male patriarchy?

• What is Ironwood's belief about what happens to people immediately after death? Is our soul asleep
until Christ's 2nd coming, or are we resurrected immediately?

• What is the role of the Spiritual Gift of Prophecy in the modern Church?

• As pastors what is difficult feedback you have been given in the last year or so and how did you learn and grow from that feedback?

• How do you accept when your child decides he or she wants to change their gender?

• In all your experience, what is the best way you've seen a couple embrace God in their marriage?
