Welcome to Episode One-Hundred Seventy-Two of The Thinklings Podcast!
First things first – Happy 8th Day of Balrog! For your singing pleasure, to the tune of “12 Days of Christmas,” here are the lyrics:
On the tenth day of Balrog,
Gandalf said to me
What do you mean?,
Is the morning good?,
How ’bout old friends?
Haven’t aged a day!
Pity stayed his blade!,
Foooooool of a took!, (5 golden rings…..)
You cannot pass,
Fly you fools!
Back to the shadows,
I’m a servant of the S’cret Fire! (And a partridge and pear tree)
During the introductory portion of this podcast, we discuss two exemplary coffee shops (BrickHouse Coffee Co. & Porch Light Coffeehouse). You should probably just visit them both, even though one is likely much more local to you.
After Books & Business, Thinkling Carter discusses ministry philosophy and mood. This discussion provides an overview of some thoughts from both Kevin DeYoung and Doug Wilson, and The Thinklings seek to arrive at a balanced position.
You may ask: “What does balanced mean?” That is a great question! We hope that the main content of this episode presents some sort of balance on mood/tone in ministry as we all seek to engage our culture from a Christian Worldview.
Thinkling Stearns wraps up the episode with a final meditation in 1 Kings 19! Surprisingly, flamethrowers tie our content and final thought together, but you’ll have to listen to catch the full sense of it!
