In case you missed it: yesterday we shared some big news — Redeeming Babel is becoming Good Faith.
And today, on Giving Tuesday, we’re taking you a layer deeper. In this video, Curtis shares the heart behind the change: why the name Good Faith reflects not just what we create, but the kind of people we’re becoming. Before we can redeem Babel, we need a good faith — one that is truly good for the world, marked by humility, curiosity, and love.
All our work — The Good Faith Podcast, The After Party, The Anxiety Opportunity, and more — now lives together under this unified home.
Same team. Same nonprofit. Same mission. Just a clearer name for the work we’re already doing.
And on this Giving Tuesday, we’re especially grateful.
Your generosity is what makes this work possible — the conversations, the courses, the resources that help friends who follow Jesus make sense of the world. If Good Faith has encouraged you, equipped you, or helped you feel a little less alone, today is a meaningful day to support the mission as we step into this new chapter together.
Thank you for walking with us.
Thank you for giving with us.
Together, in Good Faith.
Today we’re officially stepping into a new season — Redeeming Babel is now Good Faith.
You may have caught the announcement in last week’s email, but we wanted to share it here as well: a new name, a clearer identity, and the same mission at heart.
Why the change? Over time, “Good Faith” has become the home for so much of our work — the podcast, The After Party, The Anxiety Opportunity, and more. This new name simply brings everything under one unified, hopeful banner.
We’re grateful to take this next step with you — together, in Good Faith.
Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day of gratitude and rest… so why do so many of us arrive exhausted, overstimulated, and running on digital fumes?
This Thanksgiving episode of the Good Faith Podcast invites you to step off the treadmill. Curtis Chang and Andy Crouch explore the difference between true rest and the kind of “leisure” that actually leaves us more drained.
They unpack how Sabbath functions as a circuit breaker for idolatry—interrupting our addiction to productivity, technology, and constant noise. Andy offers a hopeful vision of rest that restores the soul, along with practical ways to recover from burnout, create healthy rhythms, and rediscover the gift of simply being human.
If your holidays feel more like hustle than holy, this conversation is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and receive rest as a gift—not a reward you earn.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends. We`re so thankful to be around this campfire with you.
How do we love someone in their full, complicated humanity—flaws, frustrations, beauty, and all?
In this week’s Good Faith Podcast, bestselling author Kathleen Norris shares the remarkable story of her sister, Rebecca Sue, whose lifelong disabilities shaped not only her own spiritual journey but the entire family’s understanding of love, lament, and faith.
From childhood anger to unexpected gratitude, from imperfect caregiving to unfiltered honesty, Rebecca’s life reveals how disability can transform the way we see one another—and God. Don’t miss this episode.
As we enter Thanksgiving week, this line from our recent conversation with Kathleen Norris feels especially true. Gratitude isn’t always a rush of emotion or a perfectly set table. Sometimes it looks like small, quiet shifts in the heart—arriving late, arriving unevenly, arriving after seasons of anger, exhaustion, or grief.
Kathleen shares how her sister Rebecca’s journey from frustration to deep gratitude didn’t happen overnight. It grew through hardship, honesty, and love lived out in the ordinary moments.
This week, may we remember that gratitude doesn’t have to be instant to be real.
It just has to be welcomed.
What happens when disability becomes part of the intimate fabric of a family?
In this week’s Good Faith Podcast, bestselling author Kathleen Norris joins Curtis to share the remarkable, tender, and often unflinchingly honest story of her sister, Rebecca Sue. Through Rebecca’s lifelong journey—from perinatal hypoxia to bipolar disorder, from anger to unexpected gratitude—Kathleen discovered how disability can shape a family’s understanding of love, lament, and Christian faith.
Together, Curtis and Kathleen explore the spiritual lessons of caregiving, the grief that emerges as parents and siblings age, and how writing—letters, journals, eulogies—helps us make sense of a loved one’s life. They also reflect on how churches can better see and welcome those with disabilities who are too often “hidden in plain sight.”
This conversation invites us to face our own vulnerability with courage, honesty, and hope—and to recognize that those we find difficult may be our greatest teachers in love. Don`t miss this episode.
How can I be a good neighbor?
One powerful model comes from @worldrelief’s Good Neighbor Teams — small groups of people who walk alongside a refugee family as they adjust to life in a new country.
It’s simple, ordinary things: rides to appointments, help navigating school, grocery aisles, paperwork… and most of all, friendship. A way of saying, “You belong here.”
You can join a Good Neighbor Team through a local World Relief office — or use this model right where you are. Gather a few friends from church, pay attention to immigrant neighbors in your community, and begin with one small act of welcome.
Hospitality doesn’t require perfection. Just presence. 🕊️
Are we replacing Scripture with politics?
The “America First” narrative says immigrants are a drain. But the data — and the Bible — say otherwise.
Refugees bring strength, blessing, and spiritual renewal to the Church.
This week on Good Faith: a conversation we desperately need.
“We worship a Savior who was Himself a refugee — fleeing danger, crossing borders, finding safety in a foreign land. When we welcome refugees, we welcome Him.”
This week’s episode of the Good Faith Podcast invites us to see immigration not through politics, but through the life of Jesus and the call of Matthew 25.
May our welcome mirror the One who first welcomed us. 🕊️
“You weren’t welcome in your country. You weren’t welcome in the next one. And now you’ve come here… and we don’t want to make you feel welcome either.”
In this Good Faith Podcast conversation, Myal Greene, President of World Relief, shares why the church must reclaim its calling to be an instrument of welcome. Beyond programs or politics, this is a vision of belonging — of communities where no one walks alone.
Discover how Good Neighbor Teams are helping churches live out the parable of the Good Samaritan and make “welcome” a way of life. Don`t miss this conversation.
What if your church became known for showing radical hospitality for the refugees among us?
Our new Good Faith Read-Along Guide unpacks Myal Greene’s powerful conversation with Curtis Chang on refugees, faith, and the call of Matthew 25.
Gather a few friends, listen, and read together — then ask, how might we build a neighborhood of grace?

This week on The Good Faith Podcast, Curtis sits down with Myal Greene, President of @worldrelief, to talk about the global refugee crisis — and how the church is called to respond.
We’re living through the largest displacement crisis in history. But beyond the headlines lies a deeper question:
What does biblical welcome look like?
How can followers of Jesus embody hospitality in a polarized world?
In this episode, Myal shares stories of churches stepping up to welcome Afghan and Ukrainian families, the history of faith-led resettlement in America, and the simple, sacred power of saying: “You’re choosing people over parking lots.”
