Brian From reacts to the firestorm over President Trump's AI-generated image depicting himself in a Christ-like pose — and why even his staunchest Christian supporters called it blasphemy. From there: the weird zombie passage in Matthew 27 that nobody preaches on Easter, whether most Christians are secretly prosperity gospel believers without knowing it, why evangelism doesn't have to feel like a shipwreck, and a closing reflection on our longing for home from Psalm 84.

Brian From reacts to the firestorm over President Trump's AI-generated image depicting himself in a Christ-like pose &mdash; and why even his staunchest Christian supporters called it blasphemy.

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.

Pray to the Lord of the Harvest and America Needs a Better Gospel Than Christian Nationalism

What's actually standing between most people and a genuine relationship with God? Pastor Peter Philippi, author of You and God: How to Establish a Personal Relationship with God and a Clear Understanding of His Word, joins Brian From in studio to work through the objections, the confusion, and the keys that open up all of Scripture once you understand what God is actually doing. Peter breaks down why salvation has nothing to do with religion or works, what it means that we were once God's enemies and are now reconciled to him, and why every believer carries the identity of ambassador — whether they know it or not. He also makes a compelling case for the reliability of God's Word: of the 1,000 prophecies in the Bible, 500 have already been fulfilled exactly as written, which makes the remaining 500 a pretty safe bet. A practical, grounded conversation for seekers, new believers, and anyone who has picked up their Bible, put it back down, and wondered if they're missing something.
