The idea of “the common good” has a rich history within the Christian church. It’s the notion that, as we pursue Jesus in our lives and in the lives of others, we are fulfilling God’s purposes for His creation. This pursuit can be messy. It means rolling up our sleeves and creating space for hard conversations about real issues that impact our lives. Things like parenting, marriage, finances, poli... more

  • Level Headed Local Content for Chicago

    Great Chicago focused Christian content with a Christ-centered take on the news. Aubrey and Brian bring humor and wisdom each day to a wide area of topics, from the serious to the silly. Love the Friday 5, and Worship Song or Love Song.

  • An engaging, daily dose

    This show is a fantastic companion to my weekdaily routine. Topical, thoughtful, humorous, and yes relevant, with the right mix of bedrocks (Internet Insanity) and unpredictability. I look forward to how Ian and Brian not only provide insight to current events, but also provoke thought that I didn't realize I wanted. Highly recommended.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Christian Approach to Banking with Aaron Caid
Q: What are the practical steps for parents to teach their kids about financial stewardship in a way that sticks?
Lead by example—show how you budget, give, save, and plan for the future, then involve children in conversations and decisions to reinforce biblical principles in real life.
A Christian Approach to Banking with Aaron Caid
Q: A lot of churches and families avoid talking about money even though Jesus spoke about it frequently. Do you have some tips about how to start honest conversations about money in families or churches?
Start with God's word as the foundation, acknowledge that money can become an idol if misaligned, and begin with transparent, age-appropriate conversations that invite participation and ongoing dialogue.
What Do You Do When God Feels Silent?
Q: Do you agree with the view that spontaneous baptisms should be practiced, or should they be rejected?
The host presents both sides: spontaneous baptisms are powerful and historically common in Acts, but there is a concern for ensuring genuine faith through proper discernment and counseling before baptism.
Disclosure Day & Among Us with Adam Holtz of Plugged In
Q: What is your favorite Steven Spielberg movie?
Adam hesitates and then settles on a choice, reflecting how Spielberg's range makes it hard to pick just one, while noting that revisiting older films like ET or Close Encounters reveals new layers.
Fatherhood, Mentorship & the Crisis with Russ Ewell
Q: What factors are contributing to the crisis among young men today?
Contributing factors include social media, economic pressures, lower college enrollment among men, and a need for belonging and purpose that communities and churches can help fulfill through mentorship and family support.
