Stay ConnectedTHINQ Media educates, equips and empowers Christian thought leaders to create conversations that lead to wisdom.

Are you walking with pebbles in your shoes? Therapist and author Jason VanRuler offers this simple metaphor as a way to show how unbearable and damaging secrets can be if we don't address them. With leaders in church and culture falling all around us, it's important for us to understand the gravity of secrets. Jason points out that we all have two choices in dealing with our secrets: We can disclose them or we can deny them. Listen in as he encourages Christian leaders to create a Luke 12:2 rhythm of bringing any darkness into the light by employing the LIGHT Model for accountability. Resources
