What we’re about
Welcome to The Think Institute Meetup Group—a dynamic community for those who want to deepen their understanding of faith, sharpen their worldview, and engage in meaningful discussions on life’s most important questions.
Join us as we explore the intersection of faith, family, and philosophy through a variety of events designed to challenge, inspire, and equip you to live out your beliefs confidently in today’s world. Whether you’re a seasoned thinker or just beginning to explore the Christian worldview, there’s a place for you here.
What We Offer:
Men’s Cigar & Philosophy Nights: Gather with like-minded men for evenings of cigars, whiskey, and robust discussions on theology, philosophy, and the challenges of living out your faith.
Father-Son Worldview Workshops: Strengthen the bond between fathers and sons while equipping the next generation to think biblically and critically about the world around them.
Christian Parenting Seminars: Gain practical insights and strategies for raising your children in a way that honors God and prepares them to navigate today’s cultural challenges.
Book Discussions: Dive deep into influential works of Christian thought, apologetics, and philosophy with a community of readers eager to engage in thoughtful dialogue.
Debate Watch Parties & Discussions: Witness the clash of worldviews in real-time as we watch and discuss debates between Christian and atheist thinkers, equipping you to articulate and defend your faith.
We're trying to build a legacy for our families, lives, and local areas, and we believe that faith isn’t just a personal belief but a robust framework for understanding and engaging with the world.
Join us and become part of a community of believers and truth-seekers committed to thinking deeply, speaking boldly, and pursuing and applying the truth in every arena of life.
About The Think Institute:
The Think Institute, NFP, aspires to revolutionize Christian discipleship for men by providing a platform where faith meets action.
Our ministry is anchored in the belief that every Christian man is called to a mission in his family, church, and local area. We are here to supply the tools, training, and community support necessary to fulfill this calling.
Our objective: To revolutionize the way Christian men engage with their faith, providing them with the education, resources, and community necessary to effectively witness and disciple within their spheres of influence.
What we do: From interactive Facebook groups to hands-on apologetics workshops and digital bible study materials, our organization aims to be the go-to source for men ready to take their faith to the next level and see lives transformed by the Gospel.
This evening's topic will be "Faith & Politics." How much (or how little) should we be focused on politics? Is there a biblically-required form of government? How much should religion and politics overlap? Should there be a separation between church and state?
