Is it fair to criticize churches for their Christmas pageants? Brian and Aubrey chat about it, as well as the fact that Matt Chandler was restored to leadership this last Sunday.

Then, not everything in the Bible is black and white... and not everything is nuanced, either. Brian and Aubrey listen to a clip of Alistair Begg talking about how to navigate unclear passages, vs. using the Bible as a weapon for our own agenda.

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.
