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.

Guest: Louis Dooley from Philemon House

An astronaut's view from space puts Earth's beauty and human unity in stunning perspective. Plus: Should Christians speak up about the president's Easter morning post? And unpacking the Greek word tetelestai — what Jesus really meant when He cried "It is finished."

One Earth from Space

Brian From returns from a wild spring break in Florida — sunburned, stranded overnight in an airport, and just in time for Easter. He reflects on why the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of everything, shares Tim Keller's powerful words about hope in the face of cancer, and explores what it means to serve out of your identity rather than your ego. Plus: a CBS News story on why more Americans over 65 are getting roommates, and a teenager who can literally replay her life like an HD movie.
