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.

"I'm sticking to my word...you only have your first child once" Masters 54-hole leader Scottie Scheffler said that if his wife Meredith goes into labor, he will withdraw from the tournament.

OPINION: "I should know. I’ve been a death row pastor for 45 years."

Chuck Swindoll is stepping down as senior pastor, but won’t retire. At 89 years old and more than 60 years into ministry, the Stonebriar Community Church founder plans to remain its primary preacher after the church names his successor.

Contrary to popular belief, the Bible does not necessarily require us to think of the earth as 6,000 years old.

Another pastor was removed for sexual misconduct last week.
