    The Good Faith Podcast/The After Party Edition: Why 2024 is not "deja vu all over again" (with Russell Moore)

    In this thought-provoking episode, public theologian and The After Party partner Russell Moore explores the need for pastors to equip themselves and their congregations for the distinctive challenges of a presidential election featuring repeat candidates and all new potential for national drama. Russell and Curtis also offer valuable insights into the role of faith communities in fostering both political discernment and public witness as they answer questions from pastors and church leaders.

    The Good Faith Podcast/The After Party Edition: The Spiritual Discipline of Politics (with Michael Wear)

    The Good Faith Podcast/The After Party Edition: The Spiritual Discipline of Politics (with Michael Wear)

    We tend to think of spiritual disciplines as taking us out of the world: privatized quiet times, sequestered retreats, individual Bible reading, and such. We especially disconnect spiritual disciplines from the very public world of politics. Michael Wear joins Curtis to challenge this disconnection. Together they explore how spiritual disciplines can form us for healthier politics, and also how politics can form our spiritual lives.

    How to cultivate the inner life we need to face a chaotic world

    How to cultivate the inner life we need to face a chaotic world

    Our outer world – our politics, our society, our organizations, even our local community and families  – can be enormously complex and even chaotic at times. How do we make sense of all that happens around us? Author and therapist Alison Cook joins Curtis to explore a key strategy: exploring our inner world. They discuss why grasping our inner complexity is critical to properly understanding our external world. This rich discussion covers the theological reasons for this process, as well as many practical steps on how to get started in this inner journey.

    How we talk about cancer (with Nancy French)

    How we talk about cancer (with Nancy French)

    40% of all Americans will receive a diagnosis of cancer in their lifetime and practically every adult will know someone who already has. How do we talk about this reality? Nancy French, who recently was diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast cancer, joins Curtis to talk about how we talk. In a wide ranging, vulnerable, and candid conversation, Nancy shares about topics like why she doesn’t personally find the “fight cancer” language helpful (even if it might be helpful for others); why people are uncomfortable talking about serious illness; how cancer can be both a horrible and beautiful experience at the same time; and more gems.

    Repeated studies show that the current media landscape is worsening polarization and weakening our ability to grasp truth. How do we escape getting trapped in our own “bespoke realities?” This Good Faith episode draws on a recent webinar led by Curtis and David French where they address how Christians can adopt better information habits.

Thankful for some sanity

I am thankful for sane voices in this day and age. Thanks for doing this work

You have to listen

This podcast touches me in a number of ways. Curtis helps break down often complex topics/and or “simple” topics in a manner that gives a historical, personal, academic, intellectual, philosophical, theological background and exposition while also being digestible, tangible, accessible and often entertaining way. You won’t necessarily feel fullly satisfied with every topic but some issues as children of God, we need to wrestle with. Go ahead, listen to the latest or fish around and look through the past 100+ episodes and find one that looks interesting! I hope, like me, you will be touched in many ways

yoummooo ,

lots of marketing distortion

He refused any discourse. no comments no feedback promote himself as expert. no contact is possible. he uses david french and refers to himself as “we”
