On September 10, 2025, Charlie Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. His tragic death shocked young adults, families, and communities across the nation. In this episode, we step away from politics to focus on what really matters: how Christians process grief, guard their mental health, and hold on to the eternal hope we have in Christ.
From personal stories of vulnerability and breaking points to powerful Scriptures about the last days, persecution, and God’s peace, this conversation points us back to the promises of God. We’ll unpack practical steps for protecting your peace in a chaotic world, how to think biblically about tragedy, and why death never has the final word.
Whether you’re searching for answers, encouragement, or hope in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, this episode reminds us that Jesus is our anchor.
See you later, Charlie.

This week, in honor of 9/11, we are re-airing this previously recorded episode. It is one of the most fascinating and gripping interviews we've recorded. The fact that Brian is alive seems absolutely impossible, but God did the impossible and saved his life.
On September 11th 2001, it was a normal day for Senator Birdwell in the Pentagon, but at 9:37am his life would change forever. At that moment, American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the Pentagon just yards from the senator's desk. Listen in as he shares with Kevin and Kyle the minute by minute details of this horrific day, his over 50 surgeries and what life looks like for him now.

In this brand new episode, we dive deep into the rise and fall of Michael Tait—from his groundbreaking days with DC Talk and the Newsboys to the devastating allegations that led to his resignation in January 2025. We unpack detailed accounts of abuse, industry cover-ups, and Tait’s own shocking confession of living a “double life” filled with addiction and sin.
We also explore the role of power and celebrity culture within Christian music, reactions from artists like Cory Asbury, Hayley Williams, and Steve Taylor, and the urgent call for accountability in the church. Finally, we ask: how should Christians respond when leaders fall? What does true accountability, discipleship, and restoration look like in our faith communities?

In this episode, we discuss expression in worship. Why do we see in some churches people dancing, raising hands, jumping, etc, and in others we see what some would call a more reverent approach to worship? Drawing inspiration from 2 Samual 6:14-23, we look to scripture for examples of worship expression.
We also discuss the concerns over certain worship songs, including the scrutiny over lyrics from songs like "What a Beautiful Name," "How He Loves," "Reckless Love," and "So Will I (Billion X)." We observe the poetic elements and public reactions to these anthems, providing a fresh perspective on their spiritual significance. All this and more in this thought-provoking episode.

This All-American family's life was forever changed and now they seek justice for their son. "Sextortion" is a form of blackmail where someone threatens to share a nude or sexually explicit picture or video of the victim unless the predator’s demands are met, and often teenage boys are the targets. Even though this is the most difficult thing they've faced, Brian walks us through how he and his wife found their son the next morning and how they uncovered what actually happened to him.

I**n this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Kevin Wilson and Kyle Wentzel welcome special guest Kody Wentzel, youth and associate pastor of Life Church in Leesburg, GA.
[00:03:10] Kevin points out the difficulty of serving in youth ministry in the particularly flammable cultural climate of America today.[00:04:14] “The Culture of Youth is constantly evolving”, Kyle calls this the thing that makes it so difficult for youth pastors – that they equally must constantly evolve in their methods, communication, and relationships. He points out that he always has to remember to, “not let evolving youth culture make my youth culture evolve.”
[00:05:38] The difference between models that work and models that don’t work is whether or not the youth pastor/youth leaders have taken ownership of their work.
[00:7:10] In youth ministry, you can’t fall for the “Patriot Effect” – referencing the New England Patriots. Another NFL team can’t take the Patriots’ model of coaching and team development and cut and paste it to their organization. Building an effective ministry means digging in and learning the culture and context of your particular ministry environment.
[00:10:43] “As Christians, we are creators. We literally have the Creator living inside of us.” Kevin talks about the constant temptation to take something that works well somewhere else and reproduce it and how that never works. He says that God’s call on us, particularly as ministers, is to be innovators.
[00:14:30] Kyle points out that two key components of an effective youth ministry are the centrality of relationships, and the ability/willingness to delegate to effective leaders who have captured the vision of your youth ministry.
[00:17:28] In summary, Kyle says that “your model” is what works for you in your youth group – not anyone else anywhere else.**
[00:18:30] Kevin poses the question: how is success defined in youth ministry? Cody answers that success is seeing his youth take ownership and run their ministry. Kyle says that a successful youth ministry sees students become the leaders of their ministry and, ultimately, the reaching of lost teenagers within the community.
[00:24:20] “When you have a student who catches it and gives it, that’s a way better pitch than a 40-year-old man trying to tell a teenager about Jesus.” - Cody
[00:25:18] “Kids have to trust you before they’ll trust Jesus.” - Kyle
[00:26:53] Kyle emphatically calls social issues the biggest challenge for youth today – the fear of missing out, the complexities of social media, and the lack of authentic relationships forming among youth.
[00:30:01] Kevin talks about the danger of allowing strategies for relationship building and follow-up (in his example, a strategy for leaders to text youth) to start looking more like tactics than authentic attempts at relationship building.
[00:32:08] Cody champions the idea of other students and other leaders (not the youth pastor) doing things like remembering dates, setting aside calendar time for basketball games, etc. and getting them something they like on a birthday – ideas that communicate value to youth.
[00:33:58] “Your job is to build a bridge between your heart, and a student’s heart, and hopefully, they’ll eventually let Jesus walk across that bridge.”
[00:37:09] Kyle shines a light on the truth that we connect with our “type” of people. There will always be people in your ministry – especially youth ministry – that aren’t your type. That’s why there need to be other leaders who own the ministry, so that those who aren’t the youth pastor’s “type” can find someone they “like”.We want to hear from you!
