Brian From explores how churches can cultivate a truly inviting culture—starting not with programs, but with leaders who model evangelism and community themselves. He reflects candidly on lingering bitterness from personal hardship, the character revealed in everyday moments (like how we treat a waiter), and the spiritual discipline of persistent prayer. The hour closes with a powerful challenge: if chasing happiness leaves us empty, what happens when we chase Christ instead?

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.
