    Andy Crouch: If UFOs Reveal Alien Life, Would Christians Be Ready?

    Are Aliens Demons, Our Cosmic Neighbors, or Something Stranger?   Host Curtis Chang and author Andy Crouch explore the theological implications of UFOs, extraterrestrial life, and the possibility that humans are not the only created beings in the cosmos. They ask whether aliens should be understood as material creatures, angels and demons, image bearers, or cosmic neighbors—and what Scripture, Christian theology, and even Aquinas suggest about our human uniqueness. Along the way, they consider whether first contact would reveal Christian love, humility, and wonder—or our instinct toward fear and domination.   00:47 - Introduction to Alien Life and Declassified UFO Reports 02:19 - Do Aliens Exist? 08:32 - The Value of Pondering Alien Life 13:02 - Aliens vs. Angels and Demons 23:18 - God's Mysterious Creatures in Scripture 27:42 - The Octopus Dilemma and Human Specialness  38:26 - Missional Work and Alien Life? 44:26 - The Nature of God's Love 48:49 - Domination or Love : The Human Response to Aliens 50:58 - Andy Imagines Worshipping with Cosmic Neighbors   Turn on Apple Podcasts Automatic Downloads: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.

    Dan Allender on Why Getting Older Could Make You More Alive

    Is Mortality the Enemy of a Meaningful Life?   Curtis Chang sits down with psychologist Dr. Dan Allender for a searching conversation about aging, mortality, Christian hope, and the surprising freedom of growing older. Together, they explore why getting older is not merely decline, but an invitation to deeper purpose, tenderness, grace, and wisdom—especially in a culture determined to deny death. From caring for aging parents to reimagining retirement, Dan and Curtis offer biblical insight and personal honesty for anyone seeking renewed purpose, peace, and courage as we grow older.   00:43 - Introduction to Aging Well Spiritually, Not Physically 03:25 - Psalm 90 and When to Start Thinking About Age? 05:40- Why Does Our Culture Avoid Aging? 09:52 - Are There Gifts in Getting Older? 19:10 - Counting Your Days: A Biblical Perspective 25:05- Psalm 92: The Righteous Stay Vital By Serving Others  29:14 - The Problem with Retirement Culture 34:32 - What About the "Sandwich Generation"? 40:55 - Our Inner Emotional Age  44:45 - The Power of Story  From Lives Well Lived 50:20 - Tending to Your Past Selves   Please Enjoy the Reading Guide for This Episode: https://bit.ly/danallenderreadalong   Turn on Apple Podcasts Automatic Downloads: Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.

    Tish Harrison Warren: When Weariness Drains Your Soul, Don't Escape—Go Deeper

    What Is Spiritual Weariness and How Can We Find Renewal?   In this episode of The Good Faith Podcast, Curtis Chang chats with Tish Harrison Warren—Anglican priest, former New York Times columnist, and author of What Grows in Weary Lands—about burnout, spiritual weariness, and the exhaustion that escapism and rest alone cannot fix. Tish explains how polarization, digital distraction, consumerism, and isolation can leave us tempted to "flame out" or "numb out." Instead, she invites listeners to "go deeper" through prayer, silence, embodied community, Sabbath, and the difficult but meaningful commitments that lead to lasting renewal.   00:36 - Introduction to World Weariness 02:43 - Tish Describes the Draining Experience of Public Faith 06:04 - What Are the Cultural Factors of Collective Burnout? 13:01 - Dysfunctional Responses: Reinvention and Escape 15:01 - Flame Out, Numb Out, or Go Deep 20:51 - Are There Practical Steps to Go Deep? 23:29 - The Practice of "Staying in Your Cell" 26:40 - The Tough Sell of Going Deeper 32:07 - The "Dark Night of the Soul" as a Growth Stage  36:11 - Learning from Historic Church Practices  38:04 - What Do Healthy Rhythms of Engagement and Withdrawal Look Like?   Sign up for The After Party Informational Webinars Sign up for The Good List   Mentioned in This Episode: Tish Harrison Warren's What Grows in Weary Lands: On Christian Resilience The Ezra Klein Show: Burned Out?

    Malcolm Guite pt. 2: When Doubt Meets Divine Beauty and Nightingales Lead to a Grail

    What Can Lead a Weary Soul to the Divine in a Post-Christian World?   Malcolm Guite is back for part two of our chat with him, and this time we go from atheism to awe, from the Psalms to the Holy Grail, and from Keats to King Arthur. Malcolm tells the wild story of how poetry cracked open his imagination and shattered his unbelief, leading him into the living presence of God — then shows why Galahad and the Grail might be the ancient, weird, luminous story our burned-out, disenchanted world needs now.   00:00 - The Sonnet Epiphany 1.

    David French on Ukraine and America's Moral Retreat

    Is Ukraine's Fight Against Tyranny Already America's Failure?   New York Times opinion writer and Iraq War veteran David French joins Curtis Chang on the Good Faith podcast to explain why Ukraine may be the world-changing war Americans are ignoring. David argues that Ukraine's resistance to Russia has exposed America's retreat from moral leadership, transformed the global balance of power, and elevated Zelensky as one of the most consequential leaders of our time. From Trump's impact on NATO to Europe's growing defense buildup, Curtis and David explore what Ukraine reveals about U.S. power, Christian responsibility, global justice, and the fight against tyranny.   Sign up for The After Party Informational Webinars Sign up for The Good List   02:41 - A Shift in the Balance of Power 08:51 - Ukraine's Rise as a World Power 10:03 - The "Trump Effect" on Germany, France, & Japan  16:30 - A Response to the Left's "Good Riddance to America" Argument 19:40 - Is the U.S. an unreliable partner? 25:41 - Why Americans Should Care About Global Affairs 30:00 - Who Is My Global Neighbor? 32:03 - Evangelicals' Narrow Political Focus 38:18 - Zelensky The Unlikely Hero 45:27 - Are There Virtues to Emulate from Zelensky?   Mentioned in This Episode: David French's article Meet the New Leader of the Free World Canadian P.

    Feasting on Hope in a Starving Culture with Hannah Miller King

    Is There a Hidden Power of Communion in a Hopeless Age?   Hannah Miller King joins Curtis Chang on the Good Faith podcast to discuss her book Feasting on Hope: How God Sets a Table in the Wilderness and why communion is more than a symbolic church ritual. Together, they explore the Lord's Supper, Christian hope, embodied worship, and how the table of God forms Christians to resist consumer culture and carry resurrection-shaped love into a hopeless world. They discuss why this embodied practice connects believers to Christ's past sacrifice, present grace, and future return and show how the practice retrains our loves and sends us outward in mission.   02:28 - What Does Union with Christ Look Like Across All Traditions? 05:04 - The Differences: Symbolic vs. Sacramental Views 12:13 - Does the Lord's Supper Connect to Daily Life? 15:40 - Is It a Means of Hope in a Hopeless World? 26:40 - Is The Richness In "Remembering" Christ's Past, Present, and Future? 29:50 - Detaching From Worldly Loves to Re-Attach to God 33:10 - The Power of Routine Practice 35:09 - A Commission to Welcome Others   Sign up for The After Party Sign up for The Good List   Mentioned In This Episode: Hannah Miller King's book — Feasting on Hope: How God Sets a Table in the Wilderness   Scriptures Referenced: Luke 22:19 (ESV) The Last Supper / Institution of Communion: Luke 22:14–20 (ESV), Matthew 26:26–29 (ESV), or Mark 14:22–25 (ESV) 1 Corinthians 11:23–26 (ESV) Revelation 19:6–9 (ESV) Exodus 12 (ESV)   More from Hannah Miller King: Hannah Miller King's article at Christianity Today Hannah Miller King's website   Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

    Malcolm Guite pt. 1: Does Theology Need an Imaginative Spark to Grasp God's Mystery?

    Imagination Combined with Reason Can Build a Sturdier Faith.   Malcolm Guite invites us to recover a "baptized imagination," showing how poetry can do real theological work by carrying truth through image, beauty, sacrament, and story. Rather than replacing reason, imagination helps us perceive meaning—opening Scripture, creation, and the mystery of Christ in ways analysis alone cannot reach.   00:00 - A Sonnet for Saint Peter 01:16 - Introduction to the Episode 03:32 - Can Poetry Do Theology? 09:02 - What Is the Baptized Imagination? 11:09 - Reason, Imagination, and Meaning with C.S.
