First things first – Happy 8th Day of Balrog! For your singing pleasure, to the tune of “12 Days of Christmas,” here are the lyrics:

On the tenth day of Balrog,

During the introductory portion of this podcast, we discuss two exemplary coffee shops (BrickHouse Coffee Co. & Porch Light Coffeehouse). You should probably just visit them both, even though one is likely much more local to you.

After Books & Business, Thinkling Carter discusses ministry philosophy and mood. This discussion provides an overview of some thoughts from both Kevin DeYoung and Doug Wilson, and The Thinklings seek to arrive at a balanced position.

You may ask: “What does balanced mean?” That is a great question! We hope that the main content of this episode presents some sort of balance on mood/tone in ministry as we all seek to engage our culture from a Christian Worldview.

Thinkling Stearns wraps up the episode with a final meditation in 1 Kings 19! Surprisingly, flamethrowers tie our content and final thought together, but you’ll have to listen to catch the full sense of it!
