Politics is downstream from culture, and that`s the whole game right there because it changes where the real work actually is. Most of us think the battle is in Washington, in elections, in policy, but the real battle is in how you live, how you treat people, what you believe about power and love and belonging. That`s the soil. So what kind of soil are you actually tending right now?
Ask a Christian whether America is a Christian nation and you`ll get a confident answer. Ask two Christians and you might get two different ones, because the question itself is more complicated than it first appears.
Russell Moore and David French dig into what people actually mean when they ask it, whether Christian ideas shaped the founding, and what it would change about how you live as a Christian right now. They`re not here to give you an easy answer, they`re here to help you think.
So what do you think? Listen to the full conversation in our latest episode.
We just spent a week asking how faithful Christians should hold the fourth of July, and maybe you`re still sitting in that question.
Here`s what might help: Hebrews 11:16. Abraham and the patriarchs desired a better country, a heavenly one. They knew what they were looking for, and it wasn`t the kingdoms of this world. That clarity—that longing for what`s actually eternal—is what made them faithful to God while they lived as foreigners and exiles in the present one.
You can love the country you live in. You can celebrate its good gifts and grieve its failures. But if your citizenship in heaven isn`t more real to you than your citizenship here, the other one will slowly reshape you into its image without you noticing.
That`s not anti-American. It`s just post-partisan. It`s just what happens when we know where we`re actually from. What did this past week teach you about where your deepest allegiance lies?
Happy Fourth of July.
We recorded a conversation that`s been living in our heads ever since—Curtis with Russell Moore and David French on what this country is, what it promised, and what we`re actually called to do about it. They move through Christian nationalism, the real gifts America`s given the world, what patriotism actually means (spoiler: it`s gratitude), and why the 250th feels different from the Bicentennial.
This one`s worth listening to even if—or especially if—you`re not feeling very patriotic this morning. Listen in.
This landed hard. But what Pete actually argues is that the long game—cultivating beauty, goodness, truth—is where real change happens. Where it really, truly can happen. Listen to the full conversation.
Curtis asks Pete a question that`s been nagging at us: why are Protestants—people whose whole tradition was built against the Pope—looking to Pope Leo for spiritual leadership right now? And what does that say about what we`ve lost in American Christianity? In this conversation, they hold up two contrasting models of authority and ask which one actually reflects biblical leadership. Swipe through.
We`re heading into Fourth of July week, and honestly, if you`re feeling exhausted by it all — the patriotism talk, the politics talk, the tension between gratitude and critique — you`re not alone.
Frederick Douglass felt it too, except he had a lot more reason to despair of this country than most of us ever will. And yet he kept choosing hope. Not the naive kind that pretends everything`s fine, but the kind that actually believes God is still at work, that things can change, and that we can be part of that change.
That`s the conversation we`re having all week on Good Faith. How do we hold all of this — the celebration and the lament, the gratitude and the accountability? How do we stay hopeful when the work feels endless? Tune in this week, we`re thinking through this together.
Scripture is pretty specific about what we should look for in spiritual leaders. But somewhere along the way, American Christianity stopped asking these questions. In this conversation, Curtis and Pete Wehner ask: what if we actually applied these standards? What would change? It`s a conversation about accountability, Christian witness, and what we`ve lost. And it matters more than you think. Listen now.
We recorded this conversation for you just before the week of July 4th — and we wanted to share Russell`s wisdom now, before you`re planning your church`s approach to Independence Day.
How do we honor our country without idolizing it? How do we teach our people to hold both their heavenly citizenship and their earthly one? Swipe through for Russell`s thoughts from our conversation. The full recording drops soon, but these thoughts are for you this week. Tune in on Thursday!
Pete Wehner says this isn`t a small ask. It`s not a political strategy. It`s the long, patient work of cultivating what`s worth loving—so we can teach others to love it too. In a moment when Christian witness feels fractured, this feels like the north star. Listen to the full conversation with Curtis.
Why are so many of us—Protestants—looking to Pope Leo for wisdom and moral clarity? Curtis and Pete Wehner (who served in three administrations) ask this question and then ask the harder one: what does that say about where we are? They talk about spiritual leadership, the choices evangelicals made, and what pastors can actually do right now. This conversation stayed with us. We think it will stay with you too. Listen now.
July 4th is right around the corner.
We`ve been sitting in this stretch between Juneteenth and the Fourth — thinking about what it means to celebrate freedom honestly. With joy and grief. With gratitude and the kind of honesty that makes gratitude mean something.
Dr. Angel Adams Parham reminded us recently that these two weeks have something to teach us. That Juneteenth gives us the time and the vocabulary to arrive at July 4th with a fuller story.
So we made a playlist for the final stretch. Songs that hold the beauty and the hardship of this country at the same time. Queue it up before the fireworks. Let it sit with you.
