The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D. Terry
What is happening to America — and what does it mean for how we lead, live, and believe?
The NEXT BIG THING with Keith D. Terry is a Society and Culture podcast that goes where most shows will not. The Church. Identity and belonging. The crisis facing men today. The weaponization of fear. Faith in the public square. The gap between who America says it is and what it actually does.
These are not abstract conversations. They are the conversations that shape families, communities, institutions, and the leaders inside them.
Hosted by Keith D. Terry — board chairman, C-suite executive advisor, and a man with 25 years inside the rooms where consequential decisions get made — The NEXT BIG THING brings a rare combination to every episode: cultural depth, biblical grounding, and the unfiltered perspective of someone who has lived the complexity he discusses.
Keith does not traffic in safe takes. He does not perform outrage. He thinks out loud, challenges received wisdom, and names what others in his position typically avoid. That is the standard here.
WHAT THIS SHOW TACKLES
— The Church and the future of faith in America
— Political polarization and the industry built around keeping us afraid
— Race, reparations, and the honest conversations institutions refuse to have
— Male identity and the crisis no one wants to address directly
— Faith, power, and what it means to lead with both
— Career reinvention and the second acts that redefine legacy
THIS SHOW IS BUILT FOR YOU IF...
— You are done with shallow takes on the issues that actually define this cultural moment.
— You are a person of faith who refuses to check your intellect at the door.
— You are from any community that is tired of being discussed instead of being heard.
— You believe that culture, faith, and leadership are not separate conversations; they are the same one.
— You are navigating a personal or professional inflection point, and you need perspective, not platitudes.
