Gabe Lyons opens the 2025 THINQ Summit with a powerful message on the cost of leading conversations in today's  often hostile culture. As he draws from scripture and history, he challenges Christians to contend boldly for truth amid ongoing spiritual warfare.

In the New Testament, Jesus asked over 350 questions. By His example, we can learn to ask better questions than the world is asking. When we do, we’ll create the kind of conversations that lead to wisdom.

Questions (preview)

The phrase “help me understand” creates a way to learn the nuance and story behind why someone believes or behaves a certain way. Our willingness to listen to one another’s stories makes room for discovery and grows our understanding.

Nuance (preview)

Pursuing wisdom in a vacuum is a fool’s game. Avoid blind spots by taking a student’s posture and exploring diverse perspectives and issues you don’t know much about.

Inquiry (preview)

King Solomon wisely warned, “There is nothing new under the sun,” yet we continue to apply old ideas to our current moment, believing the myth that it’s “progress.” Instead, we must investigate how past events and ideas shape our thinking today.

Theology isn’t a big academic concept, it’s a practice. It’s seeing the world as God has designed it and prioritizing our response to new ideas as God instructs us to respond.

Gabe Lyons challenges us to go beyond Google search to get information and knowledge. He implores us to become people who think well by introducing the five-part THINQ Framework as a transformational way to understand and navigate the chaos and manipulation of our current culture. He encourages us to become Thought Leaders—people who can discern the lies of the world, call them out, and inject truth and wisdom in the places and spaces God has us.

How to Think Well - THINQ Framework

We’re in a moment of experiencing a critical decline in Christian faith and simultaneously experiencing a tech-accelerated depravity. But what is our role in it? How do we regain traction in our faith to the point of flourishing again? How do we restore relationships and presence with one another in the attention-sucking glow of our screens? How do we think well about these issues and their impact on humanity in this moment? In this talk, our founder, Gabe Lyons, points us to truth and implores us to think well and discern culture using the THINQ framework.
