September Commentary
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you changed your mind on an important topic in the last 5 years? If so, how?
That is the opening question for today's episode. Mike, Ben and Glenn, per usual, take the conversation in different directions.
Beyond that, we'll also discuss:
- How people come back to church: What Alpha is getting right—relational invites, a compelling launch night, and real scarcity that signals value.
- Reading for depth: Why long books form deeper thinkers (with picks from Adler, Alan Jacobs, Dostoevsky, Tom Holland, and more).
- A faithful posture: Navigating today’s tensions without panic or apathy—the “men of Issachar” approach to understanding our times.
