Love is the most important part of being human—and it only exists between people.
You can like your devices. You can rely on them. But you cannot love them—and they will never love you back.
No matter how smart AI gets, it will never meet your deepest human need. Listen to our latest conversation with Andy Crouch for more.
The future of AI won’t just be shaped by engineers—it will be shaped by us.
By what we choose to love. By the relationships we prioritize. By the kind of communities we refuse to give up.
So before asking what AI will become, we have to ask: what kind of people are we becoming? Listen to the full episode on The Good Faith Podcast.
He is risen. And we’re still living in the light of that resurrection.
Easter isn’t just a day—it’s a season. A slow unfolding of hope, renewal, and new life breaking into the ordinary.
This Eastertide, we’ve curated a playlist to help you stay rooted in that story—songs that carry joy, lament, wonder, and resurrection power into your everyday life.
Whether you’re walking, driving, praying, or just trying to make sense of the world, let these songs remind you: new life is already here.
Listen to our Eastertide Playlist and keep the celebration going.
Easter does not ask us to deny death, grief, or despair. It tells the truth about all of them — and then tells a deeper truth still.
“He is not here; he has risen” is not a slogan of shallow optimism. It is the announcement that God has entered the worst we know and has not been overcome. The stone, the silence, the sorrow, the apparent finality of loss—none of these get the last word.
Resurrection means that what looks finished to us may not be finished to God. It means love is stronger than our ruins. It means hope is not wishful thinking, but trust in the God who still brings life out of graves.
That is the strange and stubborn joy of Easter. Christ is risen. And because he is risen, despair is never the truest thing about the world. Happy Easter, Good Faith friends. Let’s rejoice today.
AI gives us a shortcut to connection—but shortcuts come at a cost.
The work of love—family, marriage, friendship, community—can’t be outsourced to technology.
Andy Crouch explains why we must draw a line before AI becomes a substitute for real human relationships. Watch more on The Good Faith Podcast.
What if anxiety isn’t something to eliminate, but something to understand?
We often treat anxiety like a failure: a lack of faith, a sign something is wrong. But what if it’s actually a signal of something deeper—of living in a world that isn’t finished yet?
You are not broken because you feel anxious. You are human, living in the tension between what is and what will be.
In The Anxiety Opportunity, Curtis Chang reframes anxiety not as an enemy to defeat, but as an invitation—to deeper trust, deeper awareness, and deeper dependence on God.
And through the Anxiety Opportunity course, you can begin to name your anxiety, understand it, and respond to it in a healthier, more grounded way.

Is AI helping us flourish, or making us less human?
Andy Crouch joins Curtis to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping our lives, often more subtly than we realize. They discuss the growing “perception gap” around AI, the danger of replacing real relationships with artificial ones, and why prediction isn’t the same as true human wisdom.
At the center is a crucial question: Will AI deepen our humanity, or erode it?
Andy offers a challenge: before the coming “AI tsunami,” we must intentionally cultivate real relationships, embodied community, and a vision of life rooted in love—not convenience.
We’re at a turning point.
What if Christians became known not for what we post… but for how we live?
In our latest conversation, Katelyn Beaty thoughtfully pointed out: “We should be people who celebrate and live deeply in the material world.”
Not escaping reality— but showing up fully in it. What could that look like for you? Don’t miss this conversation
It’s easier than ever to build a spiritual life around content—sermons, podcasts, voices we admire from a distance. But there’s a quiet shift happening:
from being known → to just listening
from community → to audience
from formation → to consumption
And over time, that changes us. You can feel deeply impacted by what you hear, and still be completely unknown in your real life. But following Jesus was never meant to be disembodied.
Listen in to our conversation with Katelyn Beaty for more.
An email that made our team cry upon receiving it came a few months ago from Jim—a devoted husband caring for his wife, Carolyn, as she lives with frontotemporal dementia. We`re thrilled to be able to share Jim and Carolyn`s beautiful relationship and reflections in this week`s campfire story.
Jim shares the beauty of Carolyn’s life, the heartbreak of memory loss, and the surprising way love and connection endure even when memory fades. Inspired by theologian John Swinton, Jim reflects on a powerful truth: our personhood is not defined by what we remember, but by the fact that we are remembered by God.
Listen now and be reminded of the power of presence, the dignity of every person, and a love that outlasts even dementia.

It’s easy to confuse being inspired with being formed.
We can spend hours listening to sermons, podcasts, and teachers we respect—and still remain unknown, unchanged, and disconnected from real community.
But following Jesus was never meant to be a solo, content-driven experience. It’s embodied. It’s relational. It’s being seen, challenged, and loved by people who actually know your life.
The question isn’t just what you’re listening to, it’s who knows you. Listen to the full conversation with Katelyn Beaty on the Good Faith podcast.
The early church didn’t just share content.
They shared their lives.
Not just teaching, but presence.
Not just truth, but relationship.
It’s possible to hear the gospel every day and still remain unknown.
But the way of Jesus has always been embodied—lived out in community, where people know your story and walk with you in it.
Faith isn’t just something you listen to.
It’s something you live, together.
🎧 Listen to our latest episode with Katelyn Beaty on why that matters more than ever.
