In today's episode, we're featuring a talk from our THINQ library called “The Fallacy of Control” by pastor & author Sharon Hodde Miller. Sharon challenges the cultural lie that tells us control is peace. She describes how the illusion of control only fuels anxiety, fractures relationships, and burdens us with unrealistic expectations. If you're holding too tightly to some things in your life, Sharon will help you look to God’s truth and the agency He’sgiven you. Listen now as she points you to look to the Holy Spirit in order to cultivate real power, freedom, and calm in your life. Resources:

Today's episode features a talk from the THINQ library by Christine Caine called New, Not Next. Christine is an author, speaker, evangelist, and founder of A21 Campaign, an organization that combats human trafficking. Christine flips a cultural script we’ve all felt: the pressure to chase the next title, the next opportunity, the next version of success. She reminds us that God isn’t looking for the next big thing from us—He’s inviting us to participate in something new He’s doing right now. If you’re feeling stuck in comparison, burned out by ambition, or simply waiting for permission to move forward, this episode is for you! Resources:

Today’s episode is a courageous and necessary one. You’re going to hear from Mo Isom Aiken, Founder of Bold Life International, who shares about one of the most sensitive and often misunderstood topics in the Church: sexuality. In her talk, From Shame to Purity, Mo doesn’t shy away from the pain, confusion, or silence many of us have experienced in this area. Instead, she brings it all into the light—with honesty, grace, and a gospel vision that’s more redemptive than restrictive. Whether you're a parent, a pastor, a college student, or someone just trying to navigate your own story, this conversation will challenge the narratives we’ve inherited and offer hope where sin and shame have taken root.

Today’s episode features HISTORY as part 2 of the 5-part THINQ Framework. Gabe Lyons shares why understanding the broader historical context—what has come before us, what ideas have shaped us, and maybe where we've deviated from God’s vision—is essential to responding to cultural issues with discernment.
