The Best Of The Think Institute (2020 List)

They say hindsight is 20/20. Many are, no doubt, grateful that the year 2020 is now only viewable in hindsight. While it was certainly a year fraught with craziness and hardship, there is a lot we can thank the Lord for, especially here at the institute. For example, we launched (and completed) our first iteration of the Hammer & Anvil Society, got to know several hundred likeminded folks at the Fight Laugh Feast and Cruciform Conferences (where Think Institute founder Joel Settecase also spoke on abortion and apologetics), and grew the video and audio manifestations of the Think Institute Podcast to new heights—including a Sons of Thunder (with Joel and Parker) series on Jordan Peterson and a whole mess of great topics on Worldview Wednesdays (with Joel and Pastor Raef)—all by God’s grace.

This was our most popular content during the 366 days that were 2020.

The Hammer & Anvil Society

This is the "sinister/saintly society" of the Think Institute. The Society exists to equip members to understand, explain, share, defend and strategically apply the Christian message. In 2021, we’re launching Hammer & Anvil Cohorts, which are small groups of people meeting to study, discuss and live out biblical teaching. These are led and taught by Joel Settecase or a member of the Think Institute team and facilitated by you. Anyone who wants to sharpen the skills of studying the Bible, thinking biblically, sharing the Gospel, defending the faith, or making a decisive impact for Christ in his or her community should join.
