Good Faith on Social
The man who predicted what social media would do to your brain just sat down with us.
Nicholas Carr wrote Is Google Making Us Stupid? in 2011. Most people weren`t ready to hear it. Turns out, he was right — and now he has something to say about AI.
His core warning: the things that make us most human (struggle, friction, the slow work of forming a self) are exactly what technology keeps trying to eliminate.
And after spending six months in conversation with AI tools himself? He says it`s "exceptionally unsettling. Because it`s good."
This conversation wrecked us in the best way. Listen in.
Most of us were taught that doubt is something to get past.
Molly Worthen—historian, UNC professor, and one of the more unexpected converts we`ve talked to—thinks that`s exactly backwards. She came to faith through the questions, not around them. And she has a lot to say about what it looks like to stay in the uncertainty long enough to let it do its work on us.
Swipe through, then listen to the full conversation.
Stepping back from politics sometimes feels like wisdom or perhaps like the mature thing to do as we refuse to be manipulated by the outrage machine.
But disengagement doesn`t form us into something neutral. It just leaves us unformed, as we are shaped by absence instead of intention. Tim Keller put it plainly: to not be political is to be political. Our silence isn`t neutral — it`s a vote for whatever`s already in place.
That`s one of the things The After Party sits with—not just whether we engage, but who we`re becoming as we do. If that question is one you`re carrying, it might be worth exploring together. Link in bio.
Two thirds of Christian students stop attending church in college. Most of them still believe in God. What’s happening here?
We’re offering five reasons here—but the real conversation is with Molly Worthen, a religion historian at UNC who has watched this play out in her office hours for years. (And who, for what it`s worth, became a Christian herself at 41.)
The full episode is out now. Worth your time if you have a college student in your life,remember being one, or are concerned about this important generation.
Molly Worthen spent her career studying Christianity as a historian. Then, in her 40s, she decided to actually follow the questions somewhere.
She didn`t get a dramatic conversion moment. What she got was the slow, uncomfortable realization that she wasn`t as open-minded as she thought — and that the intellectual case for the resurrection was stronger than she`d ever let herself consider.
That summer changed everything. Don`t miss the full conversation.
Most of us were taught that doubt is the enemy of faith. Molly Worthen, a historian who spent decades studying Christianity before becoming a Christian herself, thinks that`s exactly backwards.
Her whole conversion story is an argument for staying in the uncertainty long enough to let it do something. This episode is one of the more honest conversations we`ve had about what faith actually looks like when it`s working.

We keep waiting for the breakthrough—the one decision that finally changes us.
Back in 2025, Curtis sat down with John Mark Comer on resetting our spiritual lives. Boredom. Sabbath. The small evening choices that quietly form who we`re becoming. Why insight isn`t the same as change.
This episode from last year is a favorite of ours, and we think worth listening to with your phone face down. Link in bio.
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.
