Welcome to 2026.

In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady shares the vision for the year ahead—what topics we’ll be covering, why they matter, and how we plan to approach them with biblical clarity, gospel hope, and compassion.

As culture grows increasingly divided, many Christians feel overwhelmed, unsure how to respond to issues surrounding sexuality, gender ideology, schools, libraries, and public policy—especially when kids are involved. This year, Calibrate Conversations will intentionally engage those cultural intersections without losing sight of the Gospel.

You’ll hear about:

* Why we’re addressing cultural and policy issues

* What’s happening in libraries and schools—and why parents need to be informed

* Gender ideology, so-called “gender-affirming care,” and protecting children

* Biblical gender roles and why they matter for sexuality

* Testimonies of redemption, restoration, and hope

* How Christians can stand firm in truth while extending grace

Our goal is simple: to equip the body of Christ to be faithful, courageous, and compassionate in a confusing cultural moment—and to remind you that God is still redeeming and restoring lives.
