Modern culture tells young adults to delay marriage for career and "freedom," but Brad's talk, Get Married Young, uses data to challenge that script. He breaks down the Midas Mindset—the belief that happiness comes from chasing success—by showing that married fathers are statistically the most fulfilled. This isn't a plea for nostalgia; it's a reality check on what actually brings lasting joy. Brad reframes marriage not as a loss of independence, but as a vital transition from boyhood to maturity. By prioritizing commitment and shared purpose over endless self-actualization, he offers a countercultural path to a more meaningful life. If you're ready to rethink the timeline for success, this conversation is essential listening. Resources: Watch the talk, Get Married Young by Brad Wilcox on THINQMedia.com.

In this THINQ talk, A Brief History of Renewal, we step back to see how renewal has surfaced again and again during moments of tension, fatigue, and longing within the church. By tracing patterns from the early church to modern awakenings, the talk reveals that renewal rarely looks the same, but often begins with humility, honesty, and a return to first loves. Rather than chasing the next movement, this conversation invites thoughtful discernment—paying attention to how God is already at work and considering what faithfulness looks like in our time.

In this episode, Gabe Lyons highlights part one of a two-part interview from another podcast within our THINQ Podcast Network: The InFormed Parent with Suzanne Phillips. Suzanne is a parenting and leadership coach who has spoken at THINQ events and now covers current parenting and education topics for THINQ Podcast Network. Suzanne's eye-opening interview with Jenna Parker helps us apply biblical wisdom to the larger LGBTQ conversation this month. Jenna is a 25-year-old young professional who walked through gender transition and later detransitioned in her early twenties. She bravely shares her personal story, shedding light on gender ideology, the cultural pressures surrounding it, and the emotional and psychological aspects of transitioning. Listen in to hear how we can educate ourselves and speak boldly and faithfully into this complicated issue.
