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.

Culture Needs Your Genius: Patrick Lencioni | Episode 366
In a moment of cultural tension, Patrick Lencioni invites us to rethink our role—not as louder voices, but as faithful contributors. In this THINQ talk, he introduces Working Genius, the six ways God uniquely wires each of us to serve: Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity. No one has all six—and that’s by design. When our gifts work together, wisdom becomes truth in action. This conversation reframes culture as a shared work to steward, showing how honoring our strengths and the strengths of others leads not only to better work, but real cultural change.
