Brian From talks with author Brenda Knight about her memoir Faith Runner. Brenda, who was diagnosed with a visual impairment at age 12 and grew up with iron deficiency anemia, explains how God used those weaknesses to bring 2 Corinthians 12:9 to life: “My strength is made perfect in weakness.” After breaking her foot on a run years earlier, she felt God stirring her to run again after moving to Tulsa, and she describes training for and running marathons as a step of faith, including a fall she believes an angel kept her from. Drawing on Moses’ excuses in Exodus 4, she encourages listeners not to let their limitations become reasons to miss what God is calling them to do. She also shares how an older woman in her Baptist church once told her to listen when she prays, and why learning to hear God’s voice matters. She hopes readers will trust God with their weaknesses rather than be ashamed of them.

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.
