What if change doesn’t start with fixing everything around us—but with noticing what’s happening within us?
Today on the podcast, Dr. Lee Warren joins us for a thoughtful conversation about the connection between our thoughts, our brains, and the way we live. We talk about why we’re not as stuck as we think, how small practices can open space for hope, and what it looks like to engage hard realities with courage rather than fear.
This episode is for anyone who feels worn down, overwhelmed, or unsure whether real change is still possible. Don`t miss it.
In our conversation with Dr. Jonathan Moo, we explored how Scripture invites us into a bigger, more hopeful vision of creation care—one rooted not in fear or guilt, but in love, responsibility, and trust in God’s redeeming work.

This week on Good Faith, we’re sharing a special bonus conversation with Rev. Mariah Tollgaard, a pastor on the ground in Minnesota.
She joins Curtis to describe what’s happening in her community amid an intensified ICE presence—and how churches and Christians are responding with faithful presence, courage, and love of neighbor.
This isn’t commentary from afar. It’s a firsthand witness, and a reflection on what discipleship looks like in a moment shaped by fear and uncertainty.
The gospel was never meant to stop with us.
As Dr. Jonathan Moo reminds us in our recent episode, God’s good news is big enough to shape communities and generous enough to include the whole of creation in its hope.

Listen now as we gather around the campfire and ask what faithful presence looks like in a changing world.
Why does America feel so different depending on where you stand?
For some, daily life feels mostly normal—rules work, systems function, protections hold.
For others, fear, arbitrary power, or injustice are part of everyday reality.
In this clip, David French introduces the idea of the dual state—a simple but powerful framework for understanding how both experiences can exist at the same time. One nation. Two lived realities.
When we don’t name this, we don’t just talk past each other—we lose our capacity for empathy.
This is an 8-minute clip, and it’s worth the full watch.
And if this framework helps something click for you, the full episode of the Good Faith Podcast is worth your full listen.
Sometimes making sense of the world starts with better language for what we’re already feeling.
This line from David French reframes the conversation.
Democracy isn’t about believing people are good enough to rule without limits. It’s about acknowledging that all of us are fallen—and that power needs restraint.
That’s why Christians should care about democracy. And why protecting it isn’t a political reflex, but a moral responsibility rooted in humility.
When power becomes the point, it doesn’t just reshape institutions—it reshapes people.
History reminds us how easily flattery replaces truth, how quickly conscience grows calloused, and how often the good grow quiet just to survive. Scripture doesn’t let us look away. It invites us to discern, to test the spirits, and to resist placing our hope in human power.

Faithful presence still matters. Not blind loyalty. Not louder outrage. But wisdom from above—peaceful, gentle, open to reason.
