He uses the THINQ Framework to help us consider our response as Christians.  Gabe encourages us to ask thoughtful questions like: Have we become too dependent on the current structures and systems? Have we lost touch with the way God has designed us to function—to create, to cultivate? The answers we come to might be uncomfortable, but necessary. Listen in and see how, no matter what, we can walk in God’s truth and create a contagious hope that ignites change in our homes and across our communities.

Within the last year in the United States, we’ve seen an alarming rise in substation attacks and cyberattacks. We’ve seen paralyzing and deadly power outages due to tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, heat waves, and deep freeze. We’ve even seen an intelligence-stealing Chinese spy balloon traverse the country before being shot down. It seems our country’s vulnerabilities are becoming more and more exposed, but what are we doing about it? Tune in to hear Gabe and grid-down expert William R. Forstchen tackle the gravity of this issue and what we can do as individuals and as the Church to best prepare for unexpected and unpredictable situations.

The practice of eugenics may cause you to conjure up the evil by-gone era of Hitler and Nazi Germany in World War II, but you might be surprised to learn about a new era of eugenics currently happening in America and around the world. In this episode, Gabe gets underneath the clever vernacular some are using to cloak a more contemporary—but no less unethical—eugenics, like “modern genetics,” “gene therapy,” and “transhumanism.” He reveals how people are essentially playing God to create a “perfect” humanity but are, instead, manipulating God’s original and perfect design.
