Christmas 2022 Newsletter

Merry Christmas from the Think Institute!

Welcome to your Christmas 2022 edition of our newsletter. Below, you will find out about three books I recommend for your spiritual journey, as well as one way you can help with the work of the Think Institute.

 3 Book Recommendations For You

What was the last great book you read? It's not always easy to discover quality books that entertain, educate and inspire. Sometimes having a good recommendation can make all the difference. So here are my top three recommendations for you, from the books I read this year.

In The House of Tom Bombadil, by C. R. Wiley. Wiley draws out solid, biblical lessons from an unexpected place in J.R.R. Tolkein’s works. A good gift for yourself or a Christian man in your life. Bonus: Listen to Episode #7 of the Worldview Legacy Podcast to hear CR Wiley discuss this book.

Person of Interest: Why Jesus Still Matters In a World that Rejects the Bible, by J. Warner Wallace. This is an amazingly well researched book and a joy to read. Wallace traces the impact of Jesus through history. It encouraged me, strengthened my faith and gave me new arguments to defend the truth about who Jesus really is. Listen to Episode #6 of Worldview Legacy to hear J. Warner Wallace discuss it. 

How Should We Then Live: The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture, by Francis Schaeffer. Five years ago, my father-in-law suggested I read everything by Francis Schaeffer that I could find. I've been doing that, and I am consistently surprised by how well Schaeffer spoke to the issues of today. And he was writing 50 years ago!

Introducing The Taking Every Thought Captive Campaign

The Think Institute’s mission is to help Christian men become the worldview leaders their families and churches need.

We are a brand new 501(c)(3) nonprofit ministry, and our work is already making encouraging progress.

In addition to our hundreds of podcast listeners, each month we serve a growing community of over 10,000 people in the U.S. and beyond, including:

  • 750+ members in our ThinkSquad group on Facebook.

  • 3,800+ unique viewers of our videos on YouTube.

  • 6,500+ visitors to our website, TheThink.Institute.

In order to equip even more Christian laymen to build a legacy in their families, churches and local areas, we have launched the Taking Every Thought Captive campaign.

Our goal is to raise $6,000 by the end of 2022, so that we may provide even more free resources to your family and others like it around the world—to help fill thousands of local churches with believers who can explain, share and defend the Christian faith, and to pass it on to the younger generation.

Here’s the good news: we are already halfway there!

A generous supporter has committed to match all donations toward this cause up to $3,000.

 By donating to the Taking Every Thought Captive campaign, you will help fund important tools and training for believers who are eager to see Jesus change lives as they share their faith.

Give before the end of the year, and our generous matching donor will double your impact!

You can make your donation today right here.
