Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Saint Louis University Basketball Coach Josh Schertz: Building a Culture of Excellence (ep. 928)
Q: What advice would you give a freshman at Lakeland University or any other kid who is passionate about coaching and leading people and doesn't really have a clue where to take the next step, the next step, the next step?
Schertz advises aspiring coaches to understand the lifestyle's demands and pursue coaching only if they feel they cannot live without it. He emphasizes doing it for the love of teaching and people, and prioritizing relationships over money or fame.
Saint Louis University Basketball Coach Josh Schertz: Building a Culture of Excellence (ep. 928)
Q: If that guy had sat down next to you last night and said, Josh, what do you do? What do you respond?
Schertz says he sees himself as a teacher who teaches basketball and hopes to positively affect his players, as well as leading a program.
William Paul Young: Returning to The Shack (ep. 926)
Q: What led you to revisiting that shack one more time?
Young explains that visits with men on death row led him to imagine the killer from The Shack confronting Mackenzie. That premise gave him a way to explore forgiveness as an ongoing process, justice, family relationships, and how people continue healing after profound loss.
William Paul Young: Returning to The Shack (ep. 926)
Q: So for those of us who have gone through that loss or right now, we're looking down and there's nothing. Not even a seed, nothing. They've seen nothing. What encouragement would you have for them from someone who's been there?
Young says not to face suicidal despair alone. He urges people to find someone who can be with them, including a therapist, and describes other people as having helped save his life.
Jake Harriman: Building a More United America (ep. 924)
Q: Does relationship require agreement? Do I need to agree with you to have a relationship with you?
Harriman says people can love, serve and connect with one another without agreeing on everything, and that differing viewpoints can strengthen communities.
