Heaven Isn’t Full of Good People: Truth, Temptation, and the Culture We’re Living In
Podcasts > The Common Good
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.

Brian From reflects on a range of cultural moments—from the NBA shutting down an Atlanta Hawks promotion tied to a strip club to a university president losing his job after an inappropriate relationship—and what they reveal about a culture that often ignores the Bible’s call to flee from sexual immorality. Along the way, he wrestles with faith and politics, discusses why Christianity isn’t about being a “good person,” and explains why heaven is filled with people who know they need grace. The episode also touches on family milestones, modern hobbies replacing phone addiction, and why Christians must remember that salvation comes from what Christ has done—not what we can do ourselves.
