Stay ConnectedTHINQ Media educates, equips and empowers Christian thought leaders to create conversations that lead to wisdom.
We do this through our new digital platform, a podcast network, and a series of regional and national events designed to convene leaders around topics that matter to Christians today. Listen to the THINQ Media Podcast to learn, explore and consider how you can be faithful in our cultural context.
In today's episode, Pastor Matt Chandler brings us a sobering yet hopeful message for today's Church: courage without Christlikeness isn't courage at all. Too many leaders either retreat to avoid fallout or hide behind precision to avoid engagement. Both, Matt reminds us, abandon the flock in a culture desperate for truth and grace. Resources:
