Brian From welcomes back Michael Woolworth of Bible League International for the final push of their month-long campaign to put Bibles in the hands of believers who have never owned one. Michael explains how a study with Voice of the Martyrs, Open Doors, and other Bible agencies found 125 million Christians without a Bible, many of them in countries where religious freedom is limited. He gives an update on the goal of 2,000 Bibles: 1,600 are on the way, and the campaign is extended through Sunday to cover the last 400. Michael shares the stories of Rosa Maria in Colombia, who lost 30 family members to cartel violence, Mabel, a former animist in Mozambique, and Khalil, a bivocational pastor in the Middle East whose store was burned twice and whose Bible study led 80 Muslims to faith. He thanks the listeners who have given so far and invites others to help finish the goal at $5 a Bible.

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.
