In Order To Think, You Must Risk Being Offensive - Ep. 842 - January 28, 2026

If you can’t Think without someone getting upset, you can’t Think at all. In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland talk straight about truth, offense, and why honest thinking always comes with risk. This conversation connects Jordan Peterson’s line, “In order to think, you must risk being Offensive,” to the pulpit, the church, and everyday life. They also push it further, you’ve got to risk being offended, too. The issue isn’t the moment of offense, it’s the response. Truth has edges, it cuts, and it exposes what’s real. Topics include:  * Why truth offends, and why that isn’t a moral failure  * Preaching the Bible when culture wants comfort  * “Thinking is a contact sport,” and what that means in spiritual warfare  * The difference between real thought and borrowed opinions  * How offense can become a tool for growth instead of division Subscribe for weekly episodes of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast. #TheSmithAndRowlandShow #Podcast #Think #Offensive #ChristianPodcast
