The Thinklings Podcast – Episode 172 – The Thinklings’ Mood

Episode 172 - The Thinklings’ MoodWelcome 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 meWhat 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!Key ideas in Episode 172 - The Thinklings’ Mood: Books Coffee BrickHouse Coffee Co.
