Nostalgia, AI Fakes, and the Call to Real Fruit
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 how an AI-generated “viral” photo reminds us to slow down, verify what we share, and resist outrage bait online. Then, a surprise detour into ’90s worship music becomes a meaningful prompt to remember God’s past faithfulness and let gratitude fuel the present. The hour closes with a challenge: personality tests don’t excuse a lack of spiritual fruit, and a lukewarm faith can be renewed when we return to prayer, repentance, and the hope of being made new in Christ.
