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.

The Common Good

Lead Pastor Mohan Zachariah of CityLine Bible Church

Brian From talks with James Barnett, CEO of Come and See, the nonprofit behind The Chosen, about the vision to finish all seven seasons and translate the series into 600 languages so it can be shared around the world for free. Barnett shares powerful stories of the show’s global impact—from unexpected conversions to discipleship opportunities in places far beyond the U.S.—and explains what viewers can expect as the series moves toward the crucifixion and resurrection. They also address a common criticism head-on: why The Chosen isn’t a replacement for Scripture, but a storytelling tool meant to point people back to the Bible and deeper faith.

The Chosen Goes Global: James Barnett on Come and See’s Mission

Brian From welcomes March as a “month of hope,” while soberly reflecting on the frightening reality of war and turning listeners’ attention to Jesus—the firm foundation and the coming King who will bring an end to conflict. He then unpacks a weekend social-media firestorm around a John Piper Leviticus tweet, using it as a window into how outrage culture distorts Christian witness and conversation. The hour closes with a renewed call to become people of the Word, highlighting the surprising presence of doubt in Scripture and reading 1 Corinthians 1 as a reminder that our unity and confidence are anchored in Christ alone.

March Hope, Missiles, and the Outrage Machine

Brian From talks with Gospel Coalition writer Sarah Zylstra about surprising signs of spiritual engagement among Gen Z. Though statistically the most secular generation, pockets of young adults are showing deeper curiosity about Christianity, filling chapels, memorizing Scripture, and pursuing serious faith. It’s a hopeful conversation about cultural shifts, quiet revival, and what this moment could mean for the future of the church.
