In light of disturbing news about a Christian school headmaster who kept a racist online pseudonym, Aubrey and Brian agree: who we are in the dark is really who we are. Jen Pollock Michel recently wrote, “there is no such thing as a safe space for Christians.” What does that mean?

Consumption, appropriation and adoption of certain beliefs–like antisemitism–are rightfully condemned by culture. But is it right to punish consumers far away from the content, while leaving the content and creator intact? Brian and Aubrey talk about it in relation to a recent incident involving a Florida student.

Lastly, Belong, Believe, Behave. In what order does God work in our hearts? Aubrey questions whether he’s even constrained by an order.

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.
