The Daron Earlewine Podcast
When life hits hard, most of us either crumble or, at best, claw our way back to where we were before. Daron Earlewine wants something better for you. In this Summer of Sermons message from Mercy Road Northeast in Indianapolis, he opens Hebrews 11 and 12 to unpack what it means to build an anti-fragile faith, the kind where pain doesn't break you, it reveals you and grows you. He names the three lies the enemy whispers when you're under pressure, the difference between lament and complaint, and why your identity has to be the foundation before any of it makes sense. KEY TAKAWAYS ⚡️ Fragile...

We treat sin the way Daron treated a herniated disc, by icing the symptoms and hoping the real problem goes away on its own. It doesn't. It grows, it hurts people, and it slowly stops breaking our hearts at all. In this Summer of Sermons message from Mercy Road Northeast in Indianapolis, Daron Earlewine opens 1 Corinthians 5 to talk honestly about church hurt, the danger of treating grace like a credit card you keep charging, and why the people who love us most are the ones willing to call us up instead of just calling us out. KEY TAKEAWAYS ⚡️ Real healing deals with what's broken inside,...

Most of us treat the Bible like a long text we skim and skip. Too long, didn't read. The cost of that is bigger than we think. When you don't know where you came from or why you're here, you start living like life is random, and that quietly drains your purpose, your work, and your relationships. In this Summer of Sermons message, Daron Earlewine opens Genesis chapter one and the first five words of the Bible to show what it means to be created on purpose and for purpose, and how reading Scripture begins to repair the broken reflection we've been living through. TAKEAWAYS: ⚡️ The first...

We follow people all day long. Influencers, icons, feeds, and the five voices we spend the most time with. The problem is simple. We slowly become like whatever we follow, and most of us never stopped to ask if those things are worthy of our lives. In this Summer of Sermons message, Daron Earlewine walks through Jesus' shortest and most personal invitation, come follow me, and exposes how Western Christianity quietly swapped imitation for information. We turned discipleship into a golden ticket to heaven instead of a daily apprenticeship that actually changes us. The stakes are real. A life...

Most leaders are waiting on a dramatic, burning bush moment to tell them what their life is for. So they stall. They spin their wheels, convinced the "real" calling has not arrived yet. In this episode, Daron Earlewine sits down with Ken Primeau, lead pastor of Mercy Road Northeast, who built a thousand person church without ever planning to. Ken's whole story is a chain of small yeses. A blank check handed to God in a Panama outhouse pit, a scholarship that came through at the last second, a dream that pointed him to a state he could not find on a map, and two words he heard as his plane...

What if a single mistranslated word quietly bent the way the church has understood the gospel for 500 years? Most of us were handed a faith built on personal piety, sin management, and a ticket out of hell, and then left wondering what to actually do on Monday. In this conversation, author and former pastor Wayne Jacobsen sits down with Daron Earlewine to unpack his new book Just Love and the claim at the center of it: the Greek word we translate "righteousness" was translated "justice" everywhere else. Daron and Wayne explore what changes when love, not performance, becomes the source of...

Three generations of Earlewine men sit down at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to close out our IMS series. Cole is months away from his football identity ending and doesn't know who he is on the other side of it. Ty is staring at a future that's a complete question mark.

Most students go to college locked into a plan, then collide with reality. Daron's son Ty Earlewine got to Grand Canyon University, started his pre-PT major, and within a month sent a 2 AM text home that changed everything. In this episode, Daron and Ty sit down at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and unpack what it really takes for a young adult to hear God's voice about their calling. They talk about the difference between your interests and your foundation, the friends who can see what you cannot see in yourself, and why some people are wired for the oval and some are wired for the road...

What happens when a college athlete realizes football was never going to be enough? In this episode, Daron sits down with his oldest son Cole Earlewine at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a raw conversation about junior year at Ball State University and playing football. Injuries, a "gray" wilderness season, the leadership of a team-only Bible study at "the grape," 52 teammates packed into his living room on Maundy Thursday, and the slow process of becoming a follower of Jesus instead of just a fan.

If you've ever stared at the Bible and thought "this is too big, too scary, I don't even know where to start," this episode is for you. Daron Earlewine sits down with PJ Towle and Darren "Coop" Cooper to break down the simplest, most practical way to get into Scripture. No seminary degree required. No guilt trip. Just real talk about how three guys who all struggled with reading at some point built a habit that actually changed them. You'll walk away with three solid starting points, a four-step framework you can use every day, and permission to engage with the Word the way God actually...
info_outlineWhat if the thing wrecking your faith, your relationships, and your calling isn't a behavior problem, it's a worldview problem? In this episode, Daron unpacks the separation worldview and its four deadly parts: scarcity, certainty, perfection, and self-focus. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
⚡️The only two worldviews that actually operate in our world
⚡️How scarcity shapes what you believe about God, yourself, and others
⚡️The perfection trap that keeps you from starting, risking, and becoming
⚡️Why most of our spiritual growth might actually be spiritual narcissism
This is Part 1 of a two-part series on worldview, curated from the teaching of Jamie Winship. Part 2 covers the connection worldview, abundance, mystery, fallibility, and others-focused and how shifting to it can unlock the life you were designed for.
