What if the child doctors told you to let go became the greatest teacher of your life? Brian From sits down with Ken and Mary Sue Grein, whose son Jacob defied every medical expectation — living 37 remarkable years despite cerebral palsy, deafness, a kidney transplant, and a lifetime of physical challenges. Far from a story of hardship, Jacob's life was defined by joy, humor, and a remarkable ability to draw out the best in everyone he met. Ken and Mary Sue share how Jacob transformed their family, shaped their three other children, and pointed them all toward a deeper faith. They also discuss the upcoming film adaptation of Jacob's life and where you can find his story today. If you're carrying something heavy right now, this conversation is for you.

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.
