What happens when faith starts to look more like a following?
This week on the Good Faith podcast, Katelyn Beaty joins Curtis to unpack how celebrity culture is reshaping the church—from megachurch platforms to Christian influencers to the rise of AI.
“Celebrity culture calls us up. Jesus calls us down.”
As more of our spiritual lives move online, this conversation wrestles with a deeper question: are we being formed by real community—or just consuming content that feels meaningful?
Katelyn challenges us to consider the hidden costs of a disembodied faith:
– When influence is measured by reach instead of relationship
– When being seen replaces being known
– When discipleship becomes something we watch instead of live
If the church becomes a platform instead of a people, what do we lose?
Listen in for a thoughtful, honest conversation about authenticity, community, and what it really means to follow Jesus in a digital age.
“Once you understand it… it’s even more beautiful.” — Dr. Francis Collins
From DNA to distant galaxies, science doesn’t diminish awe—it deepens it.
What if understanding creation is another way of worship? Don`t miss this conversation.
In this episode, Dr. Francis Collins offers a simple but challenging reminder: If we follow Jesus as “the truth,” then we can’t be casual about what we believe—or what we share.
Because some claims aren’t just untrue. They can be harmful. Don’t miss our conversation.
Public health isn’t abstract. It’s about whether people live or die, whether treatments advance or stall, whether the most vulnerable are cared for or forgotten.
In this episode, Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Kristine Torjesen reflect on what happens when trust breaks down—between science, institutions, and communities—and why Christians, in particular, are called to be people of truth in a moment like this.
This isn’t just about policy. It’s about who we are becoming—and what kind of world we’re building together. Don’t miss this episode.
In a world that often feels harsh and impatient, Scripture reminds us who God truly is.
Compassionate. Gracious. Slow to anger. Abounding in love and faithfulness.
This is the heart of God toward us—even on the days when we feel far from him.
If you’ve ever read “Don’t be anxious about anything” and felt more anxious instead of less, you’re not alone.
For many of us, anxiety has been framed as a failure of faith—something to hide, suppress, or feel guilty about. But what if anxiety isn’t proof that your faith is too small?
What if it’s a signal inviting you to discover that God is closer than you thought?
Our Anxiety Opportunity course explores how God can meet us in our worry—and transform it into deeper trust and growth.

What happens when politics targets science—and Christians get caught in the fallout?
In this episode, Curtis talks with Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Kristine Torjesen from @biologosorg about the unraveling of public health, from vaccine distrust and research cuts to the shutdown of life-saving HIV programs. They explore what’s at stake for future breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer’s, and pandemic preparedness—and make the case that science and faith were never meant to be enemies, but partners in the pursuit of truth, healing, and human flourishing.
Christianity introduced a radical moral tension into how we think about war.
Jesus commands believers to love their neighbors—even their enemies. But what happens when those neighbors threaten innocent lives?
That question led Christian thinkers like Thomas Aquinas to develop just war theory—a framework for asking when force might be morally justified while still honoring the command to love others. Don`t miss the full conversation on The Good Faith Podcast.
When Christians talk about war, the moral framework matters. In this conversation, David French reflects on why Christian ethics require deeper moral reasoning than simply labeling one side “good” and the other “evil.”
What does a faithful approach to war actually look like?
Listen to the full conversation on the Good Faith Podcast.
Israel and Palestine is one of the most complex conflicts in the world.
So how should friends who follow Jesus think about it?
In this conversation, Curtis and David French explore why evangelicals have historically supported Israel—and why many Christians are rethinking how faith, theology, and peace intersect in the region. Don’t miss this conversation.
Can a war be morally justified but still wrong?
David French explains an important distinction: a war might have a just cause—but if it’s prosecuted illegally, it becomes immoral as well.
That’s why the key question isn’t just whether a war is justified. It’s whether it is both just and legal. Listen for more from The Good Faith Podcast.
When the world feels like it’s unraveling, how should Christians respond—panic, despair, cynicism?
In this episode of Reading to Make Sense of the World, Curtis and Dr. Jessica Hooten Wilson are back to explore Leif Enger’s `I Cheerfully Refuse` and the radical idea of refusing cultural despair with joy.
Together they discuss why novels still matter, how fiction can shape faithful imagination, and what beauty, truth, and hope look like at the end of the world.
