Brian From covers a wide range of topics that matter for faith and everyday life — from a landmark $3 million jury verdict finding Meta and YouTube liable for a young woman's social media addiction, to Russell Moore's reassuring reminder that God's call to "not be anxious" is an invitation of grace, not a rebuke. Brian reflects on John Piper's powerful challenge that the most important thing parents can do is show God to their kids, explores Trevin Wax's freeing insight that God's will functions more like a map than a GPS, and shares Ian Simkins' fascinating look at the Tetris Effect and how what fills our minds ultimately forms our lives. As Easter approaches, Brian closes with a stirring call to recover a sense of awe — the kind that moved Moses, Isaiah, and Peter to respond to God's call — reminding listeners that a big view of God is what fuels a passionate, enduring faith.

Brian From tackles a packed lineup on this Wednesday edition of The Common Good. First, with TSA agents going unpaid during the government shutdown, Delta Airlines makes a bold move — pulling perks from members of Congress. Then, are parents holding their kids back in 8th grade for sports scholarships actually helping them — or just setting them up for disappointment? Brian weighs in on the growing youth sports obsession and what it's costing kids socially and academically.

With America's wealth gap at its widest in a generation, Brian reflects on what our faith has to say about financial anxiety and where we place our hope. Then, a fascinating new study reveals why two people can read the same story and reach opposite conclusions — and what the "echo chamber effect" means for Christians who claim to be people of the truth.

Finally, Brian closes with powerful words from Tim Challies: if the Christian life is already hard, why do we keep making it harder? From the weight of sin to the danger of running alone, this is a reminder to throw off what entangles and run the race marked out for us — not just to start well, but to finish well.
