Brian From opens with an Ohio pastor who called monogamy “unbiblical” while introducing his second wife to a cheering congregation. He then shares a Gospel Coalition argument that parachurch ministries aren’t a sign the church has failed but grow naturally out of God’s commands to serve. He has fun with a list of America’s most mispronounced words, and discusses a Christianity Today report on churches trading warehouse-style buildings for stained glass and traditional architecture, which he sees as a hunger for awe and reverence. He shakes his head at police being called to a youth soccer game over a 3-year-old who was “too good.” He shares Randy Alcorn’s case that the surest path to happiness is serving others. In the second hour, Brian covers a dispute over a Texas Roadhouse steak, a survey finding half of Americans are skipping meals because of grocery prices, and research showing most of Gen Z finds adulthood lonelier than expected. He closes by revisiting Billy Crystal’s loss of trust in God, sharing Franklin Graham’s response, and encouraging listeners in hard seasons that God is real, trustworthy, and loving.

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.
