OCTOBER | SOLVING SEXUAL BROKENNESS
Porn is Bigger than Netflix, Amazon, and X Combined
Guests: Joshua Broome, Laila Mickelwait
Pornography is viewed regularly by 64% of Christian men and 30% of Christian women.
Porn sites receive more monthly traffic than Netflix, Amazon, and X combined. In fact, according to researcher and author Jay Stringer, people watched 4.6 billion hours worth of pornographic videos on a single site in just one year. Or roughly 5,000 centuries’ worth of time.
What can we do to solve sexual brokenness?
Creating real solutions that are biblically based, scientifically informed, and gospel-centered isn’t just a responsibility—it’s an opportunity for revival and growth.
Join us in October to hear the story of a group of Faith Driven Entrepreneurs and Investors who set out to bankrupt Porn Hub, one of the largest distributors of pornographic material. Learn how these efforts are working to cripple a $97 billion industry.

Guests: Efosa Ojomo, Keren Pybus, Ronald Ishak, Anthony Tan
A recent report from the World Economic Forum forecasts a shortfall of 14 million jobs.
Unemployment is costly. The adverse effects of joblessness correlate with deteriorating mental and physical health and increased mortality.
A good and meaningful job on the other end of the spectrum, can be what an individual needs to find financial security and purpose.
What are the dominoes that need to fall to solve joblessness? In this episode, we’ll travel around the world, to see how Christians are building, giving, and investing in ways that create jobs.
Join us in August to hear the story of the Southeast Asia rideshare app that employs 9 million entrepreneurs. And discover the rapidly growing job market in Africa, where investors are deploying capital with local partnerships for the good of the whole world.

JULY | SOLVING GOSPEL POVERTY
Coca-Cola’s Market Share and the Gospel
Guests: David Platt, Mart Green, and Bobby Gruenwald
Why is the name of Coca-Cola more recognizable than the name of Jesus around the world?
According to their claims, Coca-Cola has reached over 90% of the world’s population, leaving only 780 million who haven’t heard the gospel of a fizzy drink. The popular brand name is the second most understood word in the world, right after “okay.”
The numbers for Christianity aren’t even close. The Good News of Jesus Christ has yet to reach 3 billion people and more than 7,000 people groups.
What can we do to solve gospel poverty?
Join us in July as we explore how Bible translator groups are working in unison even in a time when partnerships in the Church can be elusive. And learn how one of the most popular smartphone apps available is all about the gospel of Jesus.

DECEMBER
SOLVING THE WORLD’S GREATEST PROBLEMS
Episode Zero: Harnessing the Power of the BIG 3—Build, Invest, Give
Guests: Bill and Dana Wichterman, Henry Kaestner, Justin Forman
“We have power and we have to discern how we use that power with like-minded Christians.”—Bill Wichterman
Close to half of the people in the world have had little or no exposure to the Gospel. 9.2% of the world's population lives in extreme poverty, defined as surviving on less than $2.15 per day.
More than 150 million children work in dangerous or exploitative conditions, and 40 million people are enslaved, which is more than at any other time in history. 800 million people suffer from hunger. And 1 in 10 people on the planet lack access to clean water. These are just some of the problems plaguing our world today.
What can we as faithful followers of Christ do?
Let’s be clear—without God, we could do nothing. But he continues to reveal a way forward for us. And his Church is winning. Join us for our premiere episode as we introduce you to a growing movement of Christians building, investing, and giving to solve the world’s greatest problems.

NOVEMBER | SOLVING TECHNOLOGY ADDICTION
Are Smartphones the New Cigarettes?
Guests: Andy Crouch, Amy Crouch, Jonathan Haidt, Tristan Harris
Adults spend an average of 4.5 hours on their smartphones every day.
The scale of our addiction to technology is only getting worse. In our lives and the lives of our children, smart devices suffocate us. We struggle to turn away and turn them off.
What can we do to solve technology addiction?
It’s not about looking the other way. Technology will always be with us. Christians can shape it in a redemptive direction while also keeping it in its proper place.
Join us in November to hear more about how we can live in a digital age with more intentionality and healthy boundaries. Together we’ll learn about entrepreneurs and investors who are developing innovative ways for us to embrace technology without being consumed by it.
