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.

Does casual dress lead to casual worship and a casual view of God?
Inspired by the Senate changing its dress code (ostensibly for John Fetterman), Brian wants to talk about what we wear to church–and how much it matters. Together with guest host Steve Coble, we’re also chatting Taylor Swift, coaching kids’ sports, why Steve chose to be a pastor, and how he was in the running to be the chaplain for the Chicago Bears.

How pro-life does a politician really need to be to earn our vote?
A lot of Christians justified a vote for Trump the first time because of his professed pro-life stance--but recently Trump called a 6-week abortion ban "a terrible thing". As he takes more of a tone of compromise, causing reaction from a number of pro-life organizations, how pro-life does a candidate need to be to earn our trust--and can that trust be lost?
