In this episode, Mike Linch engages with Mike and Daniel Blackaby, exploring the profound impact of genuine parenting, the importance of connecting with people's hearts in leadership, and the cultural shifts affecting faith today. They discuss the role of emotions in leadership, the storytelling power of Hollywood compared to the church, and the significance of understanding desire and identity in a distracted world. The conversation culminates in reflections on parenting and the hope that their children will carry forward a genuine faith.
