Guidance for Confusing Times

We’re not just remembering something at communion, we’re being reshaped by it.

In this episode, Hannah Miller King unpacks how the table of God forms us to resist consumer culture, receive grace, and carry hope into a weary world. This is about more than a ritual—it’s about learning how to live. Don`t miss this episode.

It’s easy to drift into a faith where the lines feel clearer, the sides feel sharper, and the pressure to stay “in line” feels constant.

But Jesus never said the world would know us by our alignment. He pointed us somewhere deeper—toward love, toward humility, toward a transformed life.
That kind of faith is harder to measure. And harder to perform. But it’s also the kind that actually changes us.

Let’s follow His way, together. Read more from Russell Moore’s column in Christianity Today.

The instinct as a parent is to step in, fix, and protect. But over time, that can quietly send a message: “You can’t handle this.”

David Thomas offers a different approach—one that feels slower, but forms something deeper. Ask questions.

Because the right questions don’t just guide behavior, they shape identity.

They tell your kids: You’re capable. You’re not alone. God has already equipped you.
In our recent episode, David Thomas (co-author of Capable with Sissy Goff) explores how small shifts like this can build real resilience and confidence. Don’t miss it.

What if understanding God requires more than just reason?

In this special bonus episode, Malcolm Guite invites us to recover a “baptized imagination,” showing how poetry doesn’t just accompany theology—it can actually do theology.

From Scripture to creation, imagination helps us perceive meaning, beauty, and truth in ways analysis alone cannot. Listen to Part 1 now.

Reading Scripture can feel overwhelming, like there’s a right way to do it that we haven’t quite figured out yet.

But what if it’s less about mastering a method and more about building a life? A steady rhythm. A willingness to keep showing up, to read more deeply, and to let it shape us over time.

In this bonus episode, N.T. Wright offers a simple but profound invitation: not to read more impressively, but more faithfully. Swipe through his insights here, and don’t miss our conversation.

Kids have never had more support, and yet they’ve never been more anxious. So what’s going wrong?

David Thomas of @raisingboysandgirls joins Curtis to talk about the hidden ways modern parenting can undermine resilience—and how a distinctly Christian vision can help kids face disappointment, take risks, and grow into who God made them to be.

How do we raise capable kids without rescuing them from every hard thing? This episode is for every parent asking that question.

We`re huge fans of David and his co-author, Sissy Goff around here and are thrilled David joined us on the podcast. Don`t miss this conversation, and grab your copy of their new book!

Earth Day can feel overwhelming.

The problems are global. The headlines are urgent. And for many churches, it’s not always clear where, or how, to begin.
But creation care, at its core, isn’t about solving everything. It’s about faithfulness. It’s about loving our neighbors in tangible ways, right where we are.

That’s why we’ve spent time this year listening, learning, and sharing conversations in our Christians & Climate series. Not to give easy answers, but to help us think more wisely, more faithfully, and more together.

If you’re curious where to start, or how your church might engage this conversation without fear or polarization, we invite you to explore the series and the read-along guides at:goodfaith.org/climate-series

Start small. Stay grounded. And trust that even small acts of care still matter.
