Peacemakers, Purpose, and a Pink Landline
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 Christians can witness with humility and conviction in a post-Christian culture, emphasizing listening, action, and peacemaking over winning arguments. Along the way, he explores stories that spark joy and self-examination—from an orange-juice lottery miracle to a surprising experiment in breaking phone addiction with an old-school landline. The hour closes with a challenge to move from comfort to action, from outrage to peace, and to live out a faith that is visible, rooted in God’s Word, and marked by love for others.
