As we return from a much-needed summer break, Chris and Jeremy share what topped their reading lists this summer — and where it collided with real youth ministry. On the table: Lisa Miller's The Awakened Brain, Yuval Noah Harari's Nexus, Rob Bell's Love Wins, and The Courage to Be Disliked by Kishimi and Koga — plus why self-correcting systems, story over facts, and healthy boundaries all matter for anyone leading young people. Grab a pumpkin spice something and settle in.
