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.

Raymond Chang on X: "We need to address the lack of pastors in the pipeline. It's a major issue I hear about all over the country. Here are a few things I am seeing: 1) People are seeing how demanding pastoral ministry is 2) People are seeing how hard it is to survive off a pastor's salary 3)"

Randy Alcorn on X: "Christians faced with terminal illness often feel they’re leaving the party before it’s over. They’re disappointed, thinking of all they’ll miss when they leave. But the truth is, the real party is underway at home—precisely where they’re going.
