Via natalieabrown.com: "At my core, I believe in God, laughter, and storytelling. While my faith informs the way I see and live in this world, laughter keeps me lighthearted and hopeful. And storytelling? Well, this is the medium through which I pay attention.

I graduated from Hope College in 2017 with a degree in Communications and Leadership. Now, I find myself on a mission to foster empathy, inspire curiosity, and unearth greater hope through my writing."

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.
