With Adam Holz out, Brian From welcomes fellow Plugged In reviewer Bret Eckelberry for the weekly entertainment check-in. Bret warns families that this week's biggest releases aren't kid-friendly. One is Digger, an absurdist political satire starring Tom Cruise as a megalomaniacal oil tycoon. The other is Verity, a sexually charged thriller based on Colleen Hoover's novel. Brian and Bret reflect on The Chosen filming its final scene: what the series has done for the Christian world, how it shows the humanity of Jesus and His disciples, and whether its success will lead to more biblical series. Bret closes with some family options: the theatrical re-release of Avengers: Endgame, the colorful but sometimes scary Forgotten Island for older kids, and the live-action Moana.

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.
