The Isnag people in Dibagat, Philippines, finally have the Bible fully translated into their heart language--a project that took 66 years. (More than 150 known languages are spoken in the Philippines.) Nard Pugyao, native Isnag speaker and a retired missionary pilot, joins to share the amazing story. 

"For many years, the people of the Philippines were on the receiving end of mission work. But now they are on the sending side—the work of evangelism and discipleship belongs to the people of Dibagat, spreading the Gospel using the Isnag Bible,” said Dr. John Chestnut, president of Wycliffe Bible Translators in a recent op-ed about the translation.

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.
