She spent her career studying Christianity as a historian. Then, at 41, a Southern Baptist pastor evangelized her.
Molly Worthen is a religion professor at UNC — and one of the most unexpected converts we`ve talked to. In this episode, she traces the intellectual journey that brought her from agnosticism to faith, and what her story reveals about why so many college students leave church — and whether that has to be the story.
If you have a kid heading to college (or you remember being one), this one`s for you. Don`t miss this conversation!
Can you love your country without making it an idol? It`s a harder question than it sounds. Because many of us do love America, and most of us feel the grief in it, too.
David French, Russell Moore, and Curtis Chang are sitting down for a live recording of the Good Faith podcast to ask what a truthful love of country looks like at 250 years in.

We`re losing our capacity for awe. And we`re not sure when it happened.
Andy Crouch said this in our latest conversation and we haven`t stopped thinking about it since. Not because it`s complicated — but because it`s so plainly true, and so easy to miss.
What`s the last thing you encountered that you didn`t make, didn`t earn, and couldn`t explain — and just let yourself be amazed by?
We went into this conversation thinking about aliens. We came out thinking about God`s love, human dignity, and whether we`d show up to the cosmos as its apex predator or its bearers of love. Andy Crouch has a way of doing that.
Swipe through for five things this conversation actually taught us — about God, about humans, and about what we might be getting wrong about both. Don’t miss the episode, listen in now!
We`ve been sitting with Psalm 22 this week — specifically the turn at verses 27-28, where the Psalmist, writing from inside real suffering, lands somewhere stranger than optimism.
Dominion doesn`t belong to any party, any movement, or any nation. It belongs to the Lord — and it always has.
That`s not a reason to disengage. It`s the steadiest reason to stay in the room.
What anchors you when the ground feels like it`s giving way? Tell us — we`re reading.
Here`s the thing about first contact: it wouldn`t tell us much about them. It would tell us everything about us.
Andy Crouch said this in our latest conversation about UFOs, alien life, and what Christian theology actually has to say about all of it. It`s one of those lines that sounds like it`s about a hypothetical until you realize it isn`t.
Because the instinct he`s naming isn`t alien to us at all. We`ve met the unknown before. We`ve encountered people who were different, who came from somewhere else, who didn`t fit our categories. And the record on what we tend to do is pretty clear. We establish dominance. We protect territory. We assume threat.
The question the gospel asks — the question it has always asked — is whether there`s another way to be in the world. Whether we can actually be, as Andy put it, bearers of love to the cosmos rather than its apex predator. What would it take for that to actually be true of us?
Anxiety might be exactly where Jesus wants to meet you. Not past it. Not despite it. Through it.
Most anxious Christians have been handed two bad options: pray harder, or accept that faith has nothing to say here. The Anxiety Opportunity is the course Curtis wrote for everyone who`s tried both and found them hollow.
Jesus isn`t ashamed of anxious people. That changes everything. → Link in bio.
We do not typically spend our Tuesday afternoons debating whether we should eat aliens. And yet. Here we are.
If there`s anyone whose opinion we want on anything and everything—including, apparently, extraterrestrial life—it`s our friend Andy Crouch. And his answer stopped us cold: if aliens showed up tomorrow, Christians probably wouldn`t be the first to offer love. We`d more likely try to re-establish ourselves as the apex predator of the cosmos rather than the bearers of love to it.
It got weird. It got deep. At one point, the octopus came up. We think you`ll love it. Listen in and see for yourself.
We spend so much energy fighting the fact that we`re getting older. But what if aging isn`t something to resist — what if it`s actually one of the most formative, clarifying, and freeing seasons of life?
Psychologist Dr. Dan Allender sat down with us this week and reframed everything we thought we knew about growing older. These are just a few of the gifts he named.
Catch up on this conversation now before a new episode tomorrow with another one of our favorite friends!
Loving your country harder isn`t the same as loving it well.
With America`s 250th birthday on the horizon and our capital already draped in red, white, and blue, it seems like a good time to ask: What the heck is a Christian Nationalist? Friend of the pod David French joined us to answer this very question and it’s one of our all-time favorite conversations. If you’re wondering what a healthy patriotism looks like in 2026, this one’s for you.
Hint: It starts with what C.S. Lewis described as a love of home that’s honest, humble, and secure enough to not need to be the best. Link in bio.

Most aging advice is about how to stay young. Isaiah 46:4 is about being carried.
We spent this week with Dan Allender on getting older, and this is the line that won`t leave us. Not "I`ll keep you from growing old." Not "I`ll make it painless." But "I made you, and I`ll carry you the whole way."
His honesty about aging cracked something open for us. Don’t miss the full conversation.
