Good Faith

This podcast has become a weekly ritual in my life that has been so encouraging. The November 2 Election Day podcast especially helped me understand why I felt surprised by such a feeling of sadness after early voting yesterday.

Thank you for your podcast. I am encouraged by the life giving way that topics are entered and discussed. I especially appreciate the most recent episode, and its consideration of “brokenness” vs “vulnerable.”

I am thankful for platforms and organizations that are addressing a crucial need in this era: a way to engage politics and culture without bowing to idols that would promise victory through ungodly means. Jesus didn’t gain the kingdoms of this world by bowing to Satan in the wilderness; he endured and went to the cross, and God highly exalted him. Continue your work with integrity and humility. ——— As a separate and practical note: the transition sound from content to ad can be startling. It sounds cool, but not when you’re changing lanes on the interstate, and you think you’re about to get into an accident. :) I am used to it now, I think. But I thought I should say something.

This podcast offers a concise and necessary perspective on the present spiritual tribulations all of us are facing, with a particular focus on critique of the American church. It is something that you will relate to if you have always had a frustrated curiosity about Christianity, that is to say that you want to be a part of it, but feel that you cannot because of the clear divide between the teachings of Christ and the reality of how Christians act today—that is not with the cross, but rather the sword. It may help you to understand the transformation happening inside churches in this moment, and would make a good companion to literature that has come about in recent years such as Kristen Du Mez’s Jesus and John Wayne, and Tim Alberta’s The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory. I absolutely recommend that you take a listen, it will certainly help your perspective on these troubling issues Christian-curious people face.
