About this listen

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.

  • What Does Patriotism Look Like For Christians?
    Jul 3 2025

    Reformed Christian on X: "Sabbath views aside, the reason why some feel the need to do this is because they’ve given up worship simplicity. Of course rest is needed when dozens of people have to put on a full stage production every week. Psalters and congregational singing solve most of the problem." / X

    Jared C. Wilson on X: "Your church shouldn’t take any Sundays off for holidays, but if they do, just be honest that you don’t want low attendance or can’t fill volunteer positions and don’t want to hold a lower key gathering. Don’t try to “spiritualize” it like it’s some beneficial thing" / X

    Tom Buck (Five Point Buck) on X: "I have no problem giving church volunteers a break on a Sunday. But why cancel the worship gathering? The congregation can sing without instruments or vocalists. You can pray, read Scripture, and preach the Word. It will be simple, but it’s not about “the performance,” right?" / X

    Paul David Tripp on X: "Suffering and the weakness that results will expose the danger of self-reliance and the delusion of independence. While incredibly painful, it can be a good and redemptive tool in the hands of our loving God." / X
