Brian partners with Daniel Patino of Food for the Poor to raise awareness and support for families devastated by recent earthquakes in Colombia. Daniel, who is Colombian himself, describes the scale of the disaster — families living in tents beside piles of rubble, losing homes and belongings in seconds — and explains how Food for the Poor's decade-long local partnerships allow them to deliver food, hygiene supplies, and clean water directly to the hardest-hit communities even after the story has faded from the news cycle. He shares that a $30 gift provides a family with a week of urgent food, $75 covers hygiene kits for five families, and $120 feeds four families for a week, and makes a personal appeal for listeners to respond with compassion to a crisis still unfolding weeks after the earthquakes struck.

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.
