Description:
Dr. Tom Trimble explains how technology weakens bonding social capital—our closest relationships—by replacing real connection with digital interaction. Families often sit together yet remain isolated on their devices. Citing Sherry Turkle and Cal Newport, Trimble urges people to “prioritize your presence,” being fully present with those nearby. He warns of the attention economy, where users become the product, and emphasizes practicing self-control, setting boundaries, and using technology intentionally to preserve meaningful relationships and spiritual well-being.

Description:
Akil Thompson spoke about embracing the process of growth and transformation, explaining that everything in God’s kingdom begins in seed form and must go through cultivation, pruning, and development. He shared his personal journey of leaving a successful banking career after God called him into full-time ministry, emphasizing obedience and faith. Through that season, he learned that true leadership begins with self-leadership—managing one’s mind, will, and emotions with humility and awareness—so that inner life aligns with God’s purpose and doesn’t “leak” under pressure or ego.

Description:
Dr. Tom Trimble emphasizes the urgent need to regain control over technology, clarifying that he is not against it but believes it must be managed intentionally. Drawing from Marshall McLuhan’s idea that “the medium is the message” and Neil Postman’s view that technological change is ecological, he explains that smartphones have transformed every aspect of life—family, worship, and even prayer. Reflecting on his late son Anthony’s words, Trimble shares a powerful lesson: after all the time spent on our devices, “nobody even wants my phone.” Mortality, he notes, brings clarity about what truly matters—God, relationships, and purpose.

Description:
Dr. Gregg Makin explains the importance of right-brain, heart-to-heart connection in ministry and leadership. He outlines three keys for relational impact—attunement, emotional connection, and grace—emphasizing that empathy must precede truth for real transformation. Makin also describes his six-month NeuroChange Institute training program, which integrates neuroscience, coaching, and the example of Jesus to help leaders create corrective relational experiences. The program, provisionally approved by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), equips pastors and coaches to foster deeper emotional attunement and lasting change in others.

Description:
Dr. Tim Elmore shares lessons from his early years with John Maxwell, who taught him leadership essentials like “off-the-platform charisma” and big-picture thinking. These experiences inspired his passion for developing young leaders. In his book The Future Begins with Z, Elmore explores Generation Z’s unique challenges and potential in the workforce, introducing the “Peter Pan paradox”—where their authority rises as maturity lags. He encourages leaders to listen, coach, and view Gen Z as “the sandpaper on my leadership I didn’t know I needed,” helping refine and strengthen today’s leaders.
