Navigating Crisis in the Moment: David Middlebrook & Lawrence Swicegood | Episode 395
This week, we're sharing a past breakout session about navigating crisis with insight from David Middlebrook and Lawrence Swicegood. We live in a time where it's not a matter of if a crisis hits your church or organization, but when, and how you respond can shape everything that follows. That's why it's so important to prepare ahead of time; this world offers no airtight plan, but that's not a reason to face crisis without wisdom. Listen to how these leaders unpack the courts of public opinion and law, and, ultimately, how thoughtful preparation leads to peace and clarity in the middle of the storm.

Avoiding Toxic Empathy: Allie Beth Stuckey | Episode 373
While empathy is essential for leadership and discipleship, it often shifts from a gift to a burden when it becomes a mere slogan rather than intentional care. In "Avoiding Toxic Empathy," Allie Beth Stuckey explores how this emotional tool can be misunderstood or misused, potentially blinding us to reality and morality. By examining how empathy can inadvertently lead to callousness, this conversation challenges us to pursue a kindness that remains firmly rooted in truth.

Get Married Young: Brad Wilcox | Episode 370

Get Married Young: Brad Wilcox | Episode 370
Modern culture tells young adults to delay marriage for career and "freedom," but Brad’s talk, Get Married Young, uses data to challenge that script. He breaks down the Midas Mindset—the belief that happiness comes from chasing success—by showing that married fathers are statistically the most fulfilled. This isn’t a plea for nostalgia; it’s a reality check on what actually brings lasting joy. Brad reframes marriage not as a loss of independence, but as a vital transition from boyhood to maturity. By prioritizing commitment and shared purpose over endless self-actualization, he offers a countercultural path to a more meaningful life. If you're ready to rethink the timeline for success, this conversation is essential listening. Resources: Watch the talk, by Brad Wilcox on THINQMedia.com.

History of Renewal: David Stroud | Episode 367
In this THINQ talk, A Brief History of Renewal, we step back to see how renewal has surfaced again and again during moments of tension, fatigue, and longing within the church. By tracing patterns from the early church to modern awakenings, the talk reveals that renewal rarely looks the same, but often begins with humility, honesty, and a return to first loves. Rather than chasing the next movement, this conversation invites thoughtful discernment—paying attention to how God is already at work and considering what faithfulness looks like in our time.
