We’ve taught kids how to feel, and we’ve taught them what to believe. But we haven’t always shown them how those two connect.
“If faith and feelings are living on opposite sides of the room, it’s really hard for faith to shape anything.”
This episode is about closing that gap. David Thomas joins us to discuss his new book with Sissy Goff: "Capable: How to Teach Your Kids the Strengths, Skills, and Strategies to Build Resilience". Don`t miss this 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.
We don’t gather to start something new.
We gather to remember. To step back into a story already unfolding—one that stretches far beyond our moment, and yet somehow includes it.
Music helps us find our place within that story. Listen in for more from Matt Maher.
If you’re a songwriter, artist, or creator—this is the work.
Not just writing something that sounds good, but saying something that’s true. Not holding back what God has put on your heart, even when it’s uncomfortable.
We’re so grateful for Matt Maher joining us Good Faith to talk about his process and reflections on his prophetic role as a music maker. Don’t miss this conversation.
It is possible to say the right words and still miss the heart of God.
Amos reminds us that worship was never meant to be separated from justice, righteousness, and the way we live with others. God is not after noise. He is after lives that reflect His character.
Listen to our latest episode with Matt Maher for more on this, you don`t want to miss it.
There’s a way of approaching faith that keeps everything safely in the middle—avoiding the edges, avoiding the tension.
But the life of faith has always involved movement: pressing deeper, asking harder questions, and discovering just how much is there when we don’t hold back.
Matt Maher reflects on this kind of depth in our latest episode. Don`t miss it.

What does it mean to live, and sing— faithfully in hard times?
Recorded live at the @southernadventistuniversity Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference, Matt Maher joins the Good Faith podcast to talk about protest, prophetic art, and the role of worship in telling the truth about pain. From Psalm 22 to Rich Mullins (a favorite topic of ours around here!), this conversation is about learning to sing honestly about suffering while still pointing to hope.
If you love Matt`s music now, you`ll love it even more after this conversation. Don`t miss it, listen in wherever you get your podcasts.
In a cultural moment defined by winning arguments rather than seeking them, this line from Owen Barfield, describing his legendary intellectual friendship with C.S. Lewis, lands like a quiet rebuke.
Guest Pete Wehner brings it into a conversation about Scripture, war, and the dangerous certainty of those who are sure God is entirely on their side. What would it look like for the church to debate for truth again? And where in your own life are you debating for victory, not for truth? This is the kind of conversation that might help us find out. Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts.
We don’t come to Scripture as blank slates.
We come with instincts, experiences, and assumptions. Often we don’t even realize all that we’re bringing with us when we open the Bible.
And if we’re not careful, we can begin to read Scripture in a way that simply confirms what we already believe,instead of allowing it to challenge and reshape us.
This isn’t a new problem. It’s one the church has faced again and again.
Which is why the real question isn’t just what does the Bible say but rather Am I willing to let God form me through his word?
For Christians, Scripture isn’t flat. It’s read through Jesus. Through the cross. And that means we don’t reshape it to fit our desires. We allow it to reshape us.
New bonus drop with N.T. Wright out now!
If last week with Pete Wehner reminded us why biblical interpretation matters, this conversation shows us how to begin.
N.T. Wright walks through what it looks like to study Scripture for yourself—drawing from history, context, and the wider world of early Christian writings to read the New Testament more faithfully.
It’s an invitation to go deeper, ask better questions, and grow in confidence as readers of the Bible.
And truly, there’s no better guide than N.T. Wright. Listen in wherever you get your podcasts.
