“Money, sex, and power” drive the world—but N.T. Wright reminds us the Gospel offers a new way to be human. In this clip from the Good Faith podcast, he unpacks the radical claims of Ephesians: the church is God’s artwork, meant to reveal His wisdom even to the powers and principalities. Caesar—and every other false god—needs to know: Jesus is Lord, and they aren’t.
Discover the new creation, resurrection life, and why the church matters more than ever. Don`t miss our latest episode of The Good Faith Podcast with N.T. Wright.
“Let love be genuine. Hate what is evil; hold fast to what is good.” — Romans 12:9
As friends who follow Jesus, we’re reminded that real formation begins with sincerity — a love that isn’t performative or loud, but rooted, humble, and real.
This is part of why we’ve stepped more fully into the name Good Faith: before we can offer anything meaningful to the world, we must first become a people shaped by the goodness of Jesus — people marked by genuine love, curiosity, and hope.
This week, may we hold fast to what is good… and live it out in good faith.
N.T. Wright lays down a challenge: if we truly lived out the New Testament vision of unity in Jesus, the powers of this world—whatever form "Caesar" takes—would have reason to tremble. In this clip from the Good Faith podcast, Wright calls the church to rediscover its radical, collective witness.
Watch more of N.T. Wright’s insights on the power of the church, the principalities and powers, and why Christian unity still matters on our latest episode of The Good Faith Podcast:
“What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
CS Lewis captures the moment we all long for — the moment of realizing we’re not alone. That’s the heart behind Good Faith.
A place to gather around the campfire, to name our questions openly, and to discover that others are wondering, wrestling, and hoping right alongside us.
As we step into this new season, our prayer is that Good Faith feels like that kind of place — where friendship is born, belonging grows, and followers of Jesus make sense of the world together.
This week marks our first episode since our organization adopted the name many of you already know: Good Faith. The podcast hasn’t changed—but now the whole ecosystem behind it carries the same identity and the same hopeful mission.
Curtis sits down with N.T. Wright for a rich conversation through Ephesians—its vision of the church as a small working model of new creation, its critique of Christian nationalism, and its` invitation to stand together in truth, unity, and love.
It’s a conversation that beautifully embodies what we mean by a good faith: thoughtful, rooted in Jesus, and lived out in community. And we’re grateful to have Bishop Wright as our first guest under our new name and new look.
Check out the episode on YouTube or on your podcast platform of choice to see the new Good Faith branding in action—and join us as we continue helping friends who follow Jesus make sense of the world.
The questions have been rolling in… so we put together a quick FAQ to walk you through why Redeeming Babel is now Good Faith.
At the heart of this change is a simple truth: before we can hope to influence the wider world, we must rediscover a good faith—a faith rooted in Jesus, grounded in humility, and genuinely life-giving to our neighbors.
The name is new. The mission isn’t.
The After Party, The Good Faith Podcast, The Anxiety Opportunity, our courses, and future projects now all live under one unified home: Good Faith.
We’re grateful for every friend who has walked with us, and we can’t wait for what’s ahead — together, in Good Faith.
In case you missed it: yesterday we shared some big news — Redeeming Babel is becoming Good Faith.
And today, on Giving Tuesday, we’re taking you a layer deeper. In this video, Curtis shares the heart behind the change: why the name Good Faith reflects not just what we create, but the kind of people we’re becoming. Before we can redeem Babel, we need a good faith — one that is truly good for the world, marked by humility, curiosity, and love.
All our work — The Good Faith Podcast, The After Party, The Anxiety Opportunity, and more — now lives together under this unified home.
Same team. Same nonprofit. Same mission. Just a clearer name for the work we’re already doing.
And on this Giving Tuesday, we’re especially grateful.
Your generosity is what makes this work possible — the conversations, the courses, the resources that help friends who follow Jesus make sense of the world. If Good Faith has encouraged you, equipped you, or helped you feel a little less alone, today is a meaningful day to support the mission as we step into this new chapter together.
Thank you for walking with us.
Thank you for giving with us.
Together, in Good Faith.
Today we’re officially stepping into a new season — Redeeming Babel is now Good Faith.
You may have caught the announcement in last week’s email, but we wanted to share it here as well: a new name, a clearer identity, and the same mission at heart.
Why the change? Over time, “Good Faith” has become the home for so much of our work — the podcast, The After Party, The Anxiety Opportunity, and more. This new name simply brings everything under one unified, hopeful banner.
We’re grateful to take this next step with you — together, in Good Faith.
Thanksgiving is supposed to be a day of gratitude and rest… so why do so many of us arrive exhausted, overstimulated, and running on digital fumes?
This Thanksgiving episode of the Good Faith Podcast invites you to step off the treadmill. Curtis Chang and Andy Crouch explore the difference between true rest and the kind of “leisure” that actually leaves us more drained.
They unpack how Sabbath functions as a circuit breaker for idolatry—interrupting our addiction to productivity, technology, and constant noise. Andy offers a hopeful vision of rest that restores the soul, along with practical ways to recover from burnout, create healthy rhythms, and rediscover the gift of simply being human.
If your holidays feel more like hustle than holy, this conversation is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and receive rest as a gift—not a reward you earn.
Happy Thanksgiving, friends. We`re so thankful to be around this campfire with you.
How do we love someone in their full, complicated humanity—flaws, frustrations, beauty, and all?
In this week’s Good Faith Podcast, bestselling author Kathleen Norris shares the remarkable story of her sister, Rebecca Sue, whose lifelong disabilities shaped not only her own spiritual journey but the entire family’s understanding of love, lament, and faith.
From childhood anger to unexpected gratitude, from imperfect caregiving to unfiltered honesty, Rebecca’s life reveals how disability can transform the way we see one another—and God. Don’t miss this episode.
As we enter Thanksgiving week, this line from our recent conversation with Kathleen Norris feels especially true. Gratitude isn’t always a rush of emotion or a perfectly set table. Sometimes it looks like small, quiet shifts in the heart—arriving late, arriving unevenly, arriving after seasons of anger, exhaustion, or grief.
Kathleen shares how her sister Rebecca’s journey from frustration to deep gratitude didn’t happen overnight. It grew through hardship, honesty, and love lived out in the ordinary moments.
This week, may we remember that gratitude doesn’t have to be instant to be real.
It just has to be welcomed.
What happens when disability becomes part of the intimate fabric of a family?
In this week’s Good Faith Podcast, bestselling author Kathleen Norris joins Curtis to share the remarkable, tender, and often unflinchingly honest story of her sister, Rebecca Sue. Through Rebecca’s lifelong journey—from perinatal hypoxia to bipolar disorder, from anger to unexpected gratitude—Kathleen discovered how disability can shape a family’s understanding of love, lament, and Christian faith.
Together, Curtis and Kathleen explore the spiritual lessons of caregiving, the grief that emerges as parents and siblings age, and how writing—letters, journals, eulogies—helps us make sense of a loved one’s life. They also reflect on how churches can better see and welcome those with disabilities who are too often “hidden in plain sight.”
This conversation invites us to face our own vulnerability with courage, honesty, and hope—and to recognize that those we find difficult may be our greatest teachers in love. Don`t miss this episode.
