What makes a man step up, leave comfort behind, and build something that changes the world for Christ? In this Think Institute Thursday episode, Joel Settecase shares his full origin story—how he went from financial advisor to Bible teacher to pastor, through suffering, perseverance, and faith, to launching The Think Institute. Hear how God used trials, seminary lessons, and real-world ministry to forge a mission to train men to lead their families, defend the faith, and stand firm in a collapsing culture.

What you’ll learn:

How God used suffering to shape a pastor’s heart and a theologian’s mission
Why Christian men must be equipped as worldview leaders
The story behind the creation of The Think Institute and the Hammer & Anvil Society
How presuppositional apologetics and Calvinistic theology fuel modern discipleship
The mission to help Christian men become their family’s pastor, their community’s evangelist, and their workplace apologist

Why it matters:
The world is falling apart because men have stopped leading. The Think Institute exists to reverse that. This episode will challenge, equip, and inspire you to take ownership of your faith, step up in your calling, and train yourself to think and live biblically in every sphere of life.
