Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ask Mark Anything: Swearing, Greek Life & More
Q: How do you discern between conspiracy thinking and reasonable caution?
Start with Romans 13 and a Kuyperian framework of ordered authorities, trust but test authorities with Scripture, seek wisdom from wise counselors, and ensure your conclusions promote godliness, faith, hope, and love rather than fear or cynicism.
Ask Mark Anything: Swearing, Greek Life & More
Q: Should students consider Greek life as a mission field?
It depends on the situation and motivation. If your aim is to love and befriend first, you can be salt and light, but avoid entering Greek life with a judgmental or missionary mindset that pushes people away; seek counsel from godly upperclassmen who have lived the experience.
Ask Mark Anything: Swearing, Greek Life & More
Q: What is your take on swearing?
There is a time for it, but it should be rare and purposeful, used to shock or highlight truth, not as a default mode of communication; freedom in Christ should lead to self-control and edification, not crude habit.
Planting a Church in Austin, TX with Mitchell Johnson
Q: What inspired your move to Austin and the idea of planting The Way Church there?
Initially, Mitchell did not expect to plant in Austin; the Austin Stone invitation shifted his perspective, and over time God worked in him to see the city as the place where he could mobilize people for mission, culminating in planting The Way Church.
Pursuing Wisdom in Your Teens with Owen & Brenna
Q: Where have been sources of godly wisdom that have really helped you guys as you've grown up?
Owen and Brenna cite parents, family dinners, youth leaders, and mentors from sports and church as the core sources, with deep, ongoing conversations outside structured small groups building trust and wisdom.
