What happens when morality leaves U.S. foreign policy?
In this episode, The Atlantic columnist and former Reagan–Bush adviser Pete Wehner joins Curtis Chang to confront a troubling shift in America’s role in the world. From Venezuela to a looming Greenland–Denmark showdown that could fracture NATO, Wehner argues we’re watching a “might makes right” ethic go mainstream—one that treats power, not human dignity, as the ultimate measure. Together, they ask whether Christian Americans can resist authoritarian drift, recover historical memory, and choose the harder work of living within the truth rather than accommodating the lie.

If Scripture tells us who God is, creation shows us how God’s care and truth are made visible in the world we inhabit. Paying attention to the natural world is not a distraction from faith, but one way of listening more closely to the God who made it.
Listen to more from Dr. Katharine Hayhoe on faith, science, and loving the creation God gave us.
“Faith is the evidence of what we do not see. Science is the evidence of what we do see.”
Rather than beginning with polarized language, Dr. Katharine Hayhoe invites us to start with what we share—simple questions, lived experience, and careful attention to the world around us.
Don’t miss this moment from our latest conversation on the Good Faith Podcast.
Conversations about climate change can feel charged—especially for Christians. Political, emotional, and often easier to avoid than to engage.
That’s why we created a Read-Along Guide to accompany our Good Faith Podcast episode with Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, climate scientist and committed Christian.
This guide is designed to help you engage the topic with hope, humility, and curiosity—whether you’re unsure, conflicted, or already thinking deeply about climate change.
You’ll find key ideas from the episode, reflection questions for personal or group use, and space to process how faith, science, and love of neighbor come together in this conversation.
Faith isn’t pretending the evidence doesn’t exist. It’s trusting God with what we cannot yet see.
On our recent episode of The Good Faith Podcast, Dr. Katharine Hayhoe reflects on how faith, science, and love of neighbor belong together—and why fear is not the posture God calls us to take.
Join us for a hopeful, grounded conversation about caring for God’s creation in this moment.
In a culture that trains us to face everything alone, Dr. Katharine Hayhoe invites us to remember a deeper truth: change happens in community.
This episode of the Good Faith Podcast reflects on why shared responsibility, not solitary action, is at the heart of faithful response.

Recycling, EVs, solar panels—these are good things.
But they aren’t the whole story.

“Hope is something you have to actively tamp down—because you want to hope.”
In this week’s Good Faith conversation, Nancy French reminds us that hope isn’t something we manufacture—it’s something that rises naturally, especially in children. Our work, then, isn’t to force optimism or deny hard realities, but to protect hope from being prematurely crushed.
In a world that often trains us toward cynicism, choosing to preserve hope—gently, honestly, and faithfully—may be one of the most meaningful things we can do. Don’t miss it.
What does love look like when it’s practiced day after day, mostly unseen?
In her recent Good Faith conversation, Nancy French shared stories from life as a grandparent—playing on the floor, naming small losses, choosing presence over legacy, and learning to hope without denial. From that conversation, we created a companion guide: Nine Things Nancy French has Learned From Grandparenting (So Far)
This guide isn’t about doing things perfectly or having the right answers. It’s about showing up, loving generously, and trusting that the quiet work we do with the people closest to us still matters.
Whether you’re a grandparent, a parent, or someone thinking about how to care well for the next generation, we hope this guide feels like a thoughtful place to begin.
“Becoming a grandparent made me feel more like a steward.”
When asked whether becoming a grandparent changed how she sees the world, Nancy French shared how it reshaped her imagination—not by increasing despair, but by deepening hope. Caring for children who will inherit the future, she reflects on what it means to take responsibility for the world we’re leaving behind and to stay committed to improving it.
Whether you’re a grandparent, a parent, or someone who loves the children in your life, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Listen in to our latest episode of The Good Faith Podcast.
“And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13)
As we look ahead to a new year, this verse reminds us what actually endures. Not our accomplishments. Not our plans. Not even the legacy we hope to leave behind—but love.
In her Good Faith conversation, Nancy French reflects on grandparenting as a daily practice of presence: getting on the floor, telling stories, holding space for joy and loss, and loving without keeping score. It’s the kind of work that rarely gets noticed—and yet quietly shapes the future.
If there’s anything worth carrying into the year ahead, it’s this: faith that steadies us, hope that keeps us moving, and love that shows up—again and again—for the people right in front of us.
