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.

Taking a Stroll Down Galatians Chapter 3

The Romans Road to Salvation

Rudy Cerda on X: "This video will never get old. The gospel of Jesus Christ explained in 2 minutes. https://t.co/FF9WlURd2a"

Justin Giboney on X: "Pastors and Christian leaders are entitled to their opinion. But expressing partisan opinions from the pulpit is dangerous.

David Platt on X: "There are more people unreached by the gospel today than ever before in history. That’s more people being born, living, dying, and going to eternal suffering without ever even hearing how they can have eternal life in Jesus.
