We spend so much time chasing future success that we miss the meaning already available right now.
Dave Evans explains how wonder, coherence, and community can unlock meaningful experiences in everyday life.
The key isn’t solving life like a problem. It’s learning to engage the present moment differently. Don’t miss this episode.
So much of our lives are measured by impact, outcomes, and visible results. But the invitation of faith is different.
Before impact… there is presence. Before proving ourselves… there is participation.
The deeper question may not be what we accomplish, but whether we are responding to God with honesty, humility, and trust.
Sometimes faithfulness simply begins there. Don’t miss our latest episode with Dave Evans.
Sometimes prayer begins with a simple admission:
things are out of our control.
In our recent Can We Pray Together? episode, we sat with prayer requests from listeners and practiced what Jesus taught us—bringing our hopes honestly before God, and then surrendering the outcome to Him.
This week, take a minute to pause.
Name what you wish would change.
Then pray the words Jesus gave us:
Your kingdom come. Your will be done.
We’re praying with you.
What if designing your life isn’t about inventing yourself, but discovering what God has already prepared for you?
In our recent conversation with Dave Evans about Designing Your Life, we explore the tension many of us feel: wanting a joyful, meaningful life… but unsure how to get there. The good news? Scripture reminds us that we are not self-made projects. We are God’s handiwork.
A well-lived life isn’t built from pressure or performance. It’s shaped through attention, curiosity, courage — and trust that God is already at work ahead of us.
“I need to make a mark. I need to change the world. Then my life will be meaningful.”
Stanford Life Design Lab co-founder Dave Evans explains why this mindset, common in both culture and the church, can actually keep us stuck chasing meaning.
Many of us are living only for the “not yet” Kingdom, constantly striving to prove our lives matter.
But what if meaning isn’t something you earn through impact?
Join us as we gather around the campfire—live.
On March 24 at the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference, the Good Faith Podcast will record a special live conversation with host DT Slouffman, followed by an evening of food, music, and friendship.
If you’re already attending the full conference, we’d love to see you there. And if you can’t attend the whole event, we’ve carved out a special Good Faith gathering so friends who follow Jesus can still be part of the evening.
Here’s what the night will look like:
4–5 PM — Live Good Faith Podcast recording
6–7 PM — Dinner on site with fellow Good Faith listeners and staff
7:30–9 PM — Concert with award-winning musician Matt Maher
This will be a chance to step out of the noise for a few hours—to listen, learn, share a meal, and enjoy great music together.
Tickets for the Good Faith gathering are $40.
If you’re already registered for the full Illuminate conference, you’re welcome to attend at no additional cost. Register at the link in our bio!
What if the problem isn’t that you haven’t found your purpose, but that you’ve been looking for meaning in the wrong place?
In this episode of the Good Faith Podcast, Curtis talks with Dave Evans, co-founder of the Stanford Life Design Lab and co-author of Designing Your Life, about a different way to think about meaning.
Instead of chasing impact, fulfillment, or a perfectly optimized life, Dave argues that meaning is something we can design and experience right now—through radical acceptance, presence, and attention to the moments already in front of us.
Drawing from design thinking, Christian theology, and the deeply personal story of walking through his wife’s death, Dave explores what it looks like to move from the transactional world of achievement into a life marked by flow, wonder, and coherence.
“Optimism isn’t rooted in the belief that we inevitably will succeed. It’s rooted in the belief that we must succeed.”
In our conversation with Brian Webb, he calls this stubborn optimism. Not naïveté. Not denial. Not wishful thinking.
But the quiet conviction that love requires perseverance. For Christians, hope isn’t based on perfect odds. It’s rooted in faithfulness.
Listening is a start. But sometimes the best conversations happen after the episode ends.
We’ve created a simple Read-Along Guide for our conversation with Brian Webb — designed to help you reflect, discuss, and discern what faithfulness looks like where you live.
Perfect for small groups, church teams, or thoughtful personal reflection.
No pressure. No agenda. Just space to think together. Download it at the link in our bio.
The Apostle Paul wasn’t talking about climate policy. He was talking about the Church. And yet this truth still stretches us: We are connected. What impacts one part of the body touches us all.
Faithfulness begins with remembering we belong to each other.
“Even if it weren’t about people, it would still be enough.”
God created the world. He called it good. He gave us responsibility.
Creation care isn’t political. It’s biblical. And it’s more than an “environmental issue.” Listen in for more from our episode with Brian Webb.
“God creates the world. He declares it good. God gives humans the responsibility of stewarding the creation.”
In our conversation with Brian Webb, this is where we start. Before debates. Before polarization. Before we’re overwhelmed.
Creation care begins in Genesis: with goodness, responsibility, and the call to be faithful. Listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts.
