Halftime Outrage, Biblical Illiteracy, and Why Discipleship Is Hard Work

from The Common Good Podcast · host Brian From

Brian From takes on the controversy surrounding the Super Bowl halftime show and questions the habit of framing entertainment choices as moral battles rather than matters of wisdom and discernment. He then turns to a sobering reflection on Bible literacy, responding to a powerful essay by Jen Wilkin that challenges churches to stop lowering the bar and start forming true disciples who know Scripture deeply. The episode weaves together cultural critique, pastoral concern, and spiritual exhortation—calling listeners to prayer that actually prays, faith that trains like an Olympian, and discipleship that embraces both grace and truth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
