Brian From reflects on Olympic downhill skiers hurtling down the mountain at 70 miles an hour and challenges listeners to consider where God may be calling them to step out in bold faith rather than timid caution. From a false school alarm that exposed how little control we truly have, to a personal wrestling with bitterness and forgiveness, Brian explores what it means to trust the Lord in uncertain and painful seasons. The episode closes with a reminder from Mary and Martha and the story of the prodigal son that spiritual disciplines don’t save us—Christ does—and the foundation of it all is receiving His agape love before trying to do anything for Him.

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.
