June 19th, 1865. A Union general rides into Galveston, Texas and reads an order aloud. The war has been over for two months. The people hearing this news are only just now free.
Dr. Angel Adams Parham joined us to talk about what that moment means — for Black Americans, for the church, and honestly for all of us trying to understand freedom as something more than a concept. Don`t miss it.
There`s a difference between loving a country and idolizing it — and most of us are still working out where that line is.
America turns 250 this year, which feels like a moment worth pausing over. Not to perform patriotism or cynicism, but to ask something more honest: what does it look like to love a country the way Jesus loved the people around him — clearly, faithfully, without illusion?
David French, Russell Moore, and Curtis Chang are gathering live next week — June 22nd — to have that conversation. And they want to hear from you. Register through the link in bio, submit your questions ahead of time, and come ready to be part of the conversation. Bring a friend.
The most important things in your life probably didn`t come easy.
Nicholas Carr has a name for what made them matter: friction. The resistance, the struggle, the slow work of figuring something out when you couldn`t just ask a machine to do it for you. That`s not a flaw in the process. That`s the process.
AI promises to remove all of it. And the question worth sitting with isn`t whether that`s convenient—it`s what we become when everything hard has been smoothed away. Full conversation with Nicholas Carr on the Good Faith podcast now.
You don`t need AI to do everything, but it`s getting harder to remember what you actually want to do yourself.
Nicholas Carr has been one of the most prophetic voices on what technology does to us — he saw the attention crisis coming before most people believed it was real. In our conversation with him, his warning about AI was simple: the things that form us into whole people are exactly the things efficiency wants to eliminate.

The ancient writer had no algorithm to contend with. No infinite scroll. No AI that could generate anything you wanted on demand. And somehow he already saw it - the restless, seeking human heart that can never quite get enough.
We just recorded an episode with Nicholas Carr, one of the earliest and most prophetic voices on what technology is doing to us. His argument: AI doesn`t just distract us. It removes the friction, the struggle, the slow work of paying attention - the very things that form us into whole people.
The eye never has enough of seeing. But what happens when we build a world designed to keep it that way?
Efficiency isn`t neutral, it has a cost.
Nicholas Carr has been sounding the alarm on technology for over a decade - and this conversation might be his most urgent yet. What happens to the parts of us that require slowness, struggle, and presence when we automate everything that feels hard?
This one stayed with us. Listen in.
Two hundred and fifty years in, and the question isn`t whether to love this country. It`s how.
David French, Russell Moore, and Curtis Chang are recording a live episode of Good Faith — one hour, together, on what it actually looks like to be a faithful American citizen in a moment when love of country can so quickly become idolatry and when some of the founding elements of the American experiment are coming under sustained assault.
If you`ve been trying to figure out what a Christian`s love of country is supposed to look like right now, this is the conversation for you. Link in bio to register.
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.
