What if Christian colleges—and churches—stopped being driven by fear? In this episode of the Future Christian Podcast, Loren sits down (literally, in person) with sociologist and Substack writer John Hawthorne to talk about his new book The Fearless Christian University. Drawing on nearly four decades in Christian higher education, John outlines why so many institutions have slipped into what Andy Crouch calls "zombie mode"—defined more by inertia than imagination. This conversation moves fluidly between Christian universities and local churches, asking critical questions about sustainability, fear-based culture wars, institutional loyalty, and what it looks like to center the real questions of a rising generation. Together, John and Loren explore: Why Christian institutions often default to fear and control What it means to be a “zombie institution”—and how to wake up How schools and churches can move from protecting tradition to cultivating belonging The importance of legitimizing doubt and centering student (or congregant) questions Whether it's possible to hold onto theological identity without gatekeeping How online church and online education can erode or support community Why belonging may need to come before belief John Hawthorne is a sociologist who spent nearly four decades in Christian higher education. He served as faculty member and academic administrator over the course of his career, spending time in five different Christian universities. He writes a Substack that often deals with issues in Christian higher education and has been regularly interviewed for Christianity Today, Religion News Service, Sojourners, Inside Higher Ed, and the Associated Press. His publications include A First Step into a Much Larger World: The Christian University and Beyond.   Mentioned Resources:

What does it take to lead a business through grief, growth, and massive transformation? In this powerful episode, Lisa G. sits down with Andi Shaughnessy and Danielle Carter, two fearless leaders who stepped into a family business amidst personal loss—and scaled it from 13 drivers to over 200.

What if the key to scaling a business isn't knowing the industry inside and out–but knowing how to fix what's broken? Brendan P. Keegan is a six-time CEO, two-time bestselling author, and founder of bFEARLESS Ventures. He's raised over $10 billion in capital, led six companies to exit, and grew Merchants Fleet from $500 million to $2.5 billion–without ever working in fleet management before. Now retired at 55, Brendan spends his time investing in bold ideas and living out his mission to build one million fearless leaders. The Power of Curiosity and Problem-Solving You don't need to be the expert in the room, but you do need to be the one who asks better questions. Brendan shares why curiosity, not credentials, became the throughline of his career. From turning around struggling startups to transforming a 55-year-old legacy business, he explains how to spot broken systems, challenge assumptions, and lead a team through massive growth–even when you're the new kid in the industry. Why Fear Holds You Back (And What to Do About It) Think fear isn't shaping your decisions? Think again. Brendan calls it the FUD factor–fear, uncertainty, and doubt–and says it quietly shapes how most people show up at work and in life. In this episode, he breaks down how to build fear-resilient leadership: how to stop waiting until you're “ready,” how to make decisions without all the answers, and why the best leaders move fast, stay coachable, and push others forward along the way. Enjoy this episode with Brendan P. Keegan… Soundbytes 18:56 - 19:48 “Our number one thing we hired was intellectual curiosity. Across the board. Period…As many skills as you think you have, you don't. Your first job, you don't know how to do 20% of it, 25% of it. But do you work hard? Are you a fast learner? Those are the things that are going to matter, you know. When you lose, are you coachable? In entry-level positions, I'm 100% attributes, nothing on skills or experience.” 11:48 - 12:35 “Can I just ask you a question? What did I do to get put in the penalty box? Why?” He goes, “What do you mean?” I said, “I got this other thing up and running. It was going great. I was killing it, and you moved me over here.” He goes, “Because it was broken.” And I said, “But why did you do that to me?” To which he replies, “You're great at fixing things.” I didn't see that when I looked in the mirror, but that mentor telling me, “You're great at fixing things. Brendan, you take your technology engineering mind and you think, what's the problem? So many people just jump in and start fixing things without thinking about the process. You're really good at fixing things. I challenge you to spend the rest of your career not in a given industry, but focused on fixing and transforming things.” 42:33 - 43:03 “Have the courage to fail and the faith to succeed. Have the courage to say, ‘I'm going to go try out for that team, and I might not make it, and that's okay.' But then–have the faith: ‘I am going to show up in the best shape of every single person trying out for that team. I might not have the best basketball skills, but I'm going to be the best-conditioned athlete. I'm going to be so conditioned that the coach takes me and thinks he can teach me basketball.'” Quotes “Have the courage to fail. Be willing to do things you don't think you can do, but also have the faith that you're going to succeed.” “Go take the mic. Go be the one in front.” “​​If you don't have a mentor, you're short-changing your career. You will not go as far in your career. Mentors help you. They enlighten you.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://brendanpkeegan.com/  Connect with Brendan Keegan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendanpkeegan/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

Friends, I can't wait for you to meet Catherine Gates, Executive Director for Women in the Marketplace, a national non-profit that equips working women to confidently pursue their faith and career for the glory of God. Today's episode is all about cultivating Godly confidence! ​In this episode, Catherine and I:​discuss the prevalence of self-doubt and negative self-talk that hold women back from stepping into leadership opportunities. ​explore the issue of women not feeling as confident as men, even when they are equally qualified. ​differentiate between worldly confidence and Godly confidence and how to cultivate Godly confidence. ​encourage listeners to dig into Scripture and see the amazing things women in the Bible accomplished, including building cities. ​share the importance of finding accountability partners and taking care of physical and emotional well-being. Confidence is a topic that's often discussed in today's world. However, seeking confidence from worldly sources will always leave us unsatisfied. Cultivating Godly confidence provides us with the solid foundation we need to move forward, even when we face self-doubt that tries to hold us back from the leadership roles we are called to.
