Guidance for Confusing Times

What happens when the headlines fade—but your neighbors are still afraid?

In this bonus episode, Curtis sits down with singer-songwriter and Twin Cities resident Sara Groves to talk about heightened ICE activity in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, and what it means to bear witness as a Christian when constitutional norms feel strained and neighbors feel vulnerable.

Sara names what she’s seeing on the ground. She challenges easy narratives. And she shares what she calls “borrowed courage”—the kind that comes from listening to those who have carried suffering longer than you have.

They explore the cost of public witness. The temptation to defend the indefensible. And the call of Jesus to resist dehumanization. Not with outrage, but with neighbor-love. Don`t miss this episode. Available now wherever you get your podcasts.

When the world feels loud and divided, followers of Jesus are invited into something deeper.

Not outrage. Not denial. Not fear.
But truth. Love of neighbor. Faithful presence.

In a recent conversation with Minnesota’s Rev. Mariah Tollgaard, we explored what it looks like for Christians to respond in good faith — telling the truth about what’s happening, caring for those most affected, and showing up as visible, prayerful witnesses.

This is not about politics. It’s about discipleship. It’s about being the Body of Christ — with courage, humility, and hope. Don`t miss this episode.

What if change doesn’t start with fixing everything around us—but with noticing what’s happening within us?

Today on the podcast, Dr. Lee Warren joins us for a thoughtful conversation about the connection between our thoughts, our brains, and the way we live. We talk about why we’re not as stuck as we think, how small practices can open space for hope, and what it looks like to engage hard realities with courage rather than fear.

This episode is for anyone who feels worn down, overwhelmed, or unsure whether real change is still possible. Don`t miss it.

In our conversation with Dr. Jonathan Moo, we explored how Scripture invites us into a bigger, more hopeful vision of creation care—one rooted not in fear or guilt, but in love, responsibility, and trust in God’s redeeming work.

These reflections remind us that loving our neighbors, bearing God’s image, and living with faithful presence are all connected to the world we share.

This week on Good Faith, we’re sharing a special bonus conversation with Rev. Mariah Tollgaard, a pastor on the ground in Minnesota.

She joins Curtis to describe what’s happening in her community amid an intensified ICE presence—and how churches and Christians are responding with faithful presence, courage, and love of neighbor.

This isn’t commentary from afar. It’s a firsthand witness, and a reflection on what discipleship looks like in a moment shaped by fear and uncertainty.
