Brian From opens October with an attempted mid-air attack on a commercial flight and the passengers and off-duty pilots who stopped it. He then recaps his church's first book club, on C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, and reflects on Lewis's point that people need reminding more than instruction. Brian looks at new Lifeway Research data showing one in three churchgoers say some biblical truths "don't fit" what they believe, and asks who holds authority in our lives. He walks through the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5 as a lesson in pride, obedience, and God working through ordinary people. He also covers an ESPN feature on why NFL players accept the risk of CTE, a Florida mother arrested for leaving four children home alone during a cruise, and Bryce Harper's postgame reflections on failure and parenting. He closes with Brandon Cooper's Gospel Coalition case for "sometimes wordless evangelism."

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.
