I rarely post here about Think Deeper, the weekly show I cohost, but I wanted to point your attention to this week’s episode because I feel it’s critically important for today’s Christians.
As C.S. Lewis wrote, “Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.” Every virtue we have to possess as Christians is only as good as the courage we have to stand behind it.
Yet, we live in a time when courage is in short supply. In this episode, we discuss the importance of having a backbone.
CHAPTERS:
00:00 - Intro and opening thoughts
06:11 - Lessons from Pete Hegseth’s speech
12:15 - How your backbone reveals your purpose
20:51 - The cost of lacking a backbone
24:50 - What do your decisions incentivize?
36:20 - Jesus’ example of taking stands
46:02 - Beware the pretend backbone
You can find Think Deeper on any podcast app (Apple, Spotify, etc.) or watch it below via YouTube.
Next Monday’s episode will be part two, discussing how to take stands in your church, your marriage, your parenting, your friendships, your evangelism, and more.
