Financial anxiety, a $100 million church renovation, and Joel Osteen's mansion — Brian opens the show with some honest questions about money, contentment, and whether our attitudes toward both line up with the posture of Jesus. Then, a disturbing story from one of the country's largest school districts, where teachers may be keeping parents in the dark about their children's gender transitions. Plus: the fascinating differences of Gen Z, including why nearly half of them report feeling anxious all the time. Brian closes with a convicting list from pastor JD Greer — five subtle symptoms of a spiritual heart condition — and a challenge to stop hiding behind correct doctrine and a busy calendar, and return to your first love.

The idea of “the common good” has a rich history within the Christian church. It’s the notion that, as we pursue Jesus in our lives and in the lives of others, we are fulfilling God’s purposes for His creation. This pursuit can be messy. It means rolling up our sleeves and creating space for hard conversations about real issues that impact our lives. Things like parenting, marriage, finances, politics, art, and culture. On The Common Good, Brian From creates space to have these conversations, to sit with the big questions that we all have, to sometimes disagree, but to always look for the chance to create common good, by following after Jesus. Brian welcome listeners to join them in these conversations, to bring their own questions, hopes, and struggles, and to ultimately share in a journey to see God’s design for all of us fulfilled.
