Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Navigating a world in crisis: Hope beyond the headlines
Q: How should Christians respond to the realities of suffering and the idea that God redeems what He allows?
Suffering is real, but believers can trust that God is sovereign and can redeem circumstances for a greater good, even when the exact outcome isn't visible.
Remembering 9/11: A pastor's family on faith amid tragedy
Q: How did your church respond in the days following 9/11?
Churches across the city saw attendance swell, but the guests reflect that the long-term opportunity was missed to show the fullness of life in Christ, implying a need for ongoing spiritual outreach beyond initial mourning.
Remembering 9/11: A pastor's family on faith amid tragedy
Q: What was it like to be in New York on 9/11 and immediately after the attacks?
The guests describe disbelief mixed with deep prayerful concern, rushing to find family, and mobilizing the church to meet immediate needs like distributing water and coordinating support through chaplaincy and community networks.
Loving God with your mind: a guide to Christian critical thinking
Q: What exactly is thinking critically, and what are we not talking about when we describe it?
Critical thinking is about evaluating our own thinking, biases, and premises first, not merely finding fault with others; it involves prayerful examination and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide the process rather than rushing to a conclusion.
Best of: Why are so many young people struggling to find hope—and how can we help?
Q: What are the biggest themes driving despair among youth in recent years?
Persistently, questions of identity and lovability, coupled with anxiety and exposure to social pressures, are compounded by family stress and, in some cases, abuse or trauma.
