In this special broadcast, Brian partners with Michael Woolworth of Bible League International for the ministry's annual fall fundraising drive, aiming to provide 2,000 Bibles to believers around the world who lack Scripture in their own language. Michael shares powerful stories from across the globe: a former radical Muslim in Albania whose conversion sparked 500 others to faith; new believers in Malawi's overcrowded Zaleka refugee camp; underground house churches surviving persecution in Communist China; a rickshaw driver in India secretly evangelizing despite anti-conversion laws; and a genocide survivor in Rwanda who found the grace to forgive after receiving her first Bible, sparking a third of her village to faith. Michael explains that a $5 gift provides one Bible, doubled through a matching campaign, and each Bible is estimated to reach a dozen people, inviting listeners to support the effort by phone or online.

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.
