S1E1: Remembering, Belonging & Place

Common Good Podcast is conversations at the intersection of place, belonging & remembering. The framework for the podcast is the relationship of three scholars who’s life work have shaped and informed one another. Walter Brueggemann, Peter Block and John McKnight are notable thought leaders in their own rights but at this point in there careers their work has begun to shape the others. In fact, their friendship becomes a model for how the common good shows up in local, tangible, relational ways. Walter Brueggemann is a highly published Biblical scholar who’s work is at that intersection of remembering text and the subversive ways that the prophetic imagination relates to empire. Peter Block is a scholar that has worked at the intersection of community organizing, belonging, consulting and the structure of how relationships take place. They are joined by John McKnight who is both the innovator and founder of Asset Based Community Development and speaks with specificity about the ways place, relationship, and giftedness show up in our communities.In this pilot episode, Walter, Peter and John discuss their own unique contributions and explore the concept of "dancing with the devil."You can learn more about the works of Walter, Peter and John, as well as the Common Good Fellowship and the daily email at commongood.cc Common Good Podcast is a production of The Hive - A Center for Contemplation, Art and Action (cincyhive.org) and Common Change - Eliminating Personal Economic Isolation (commonchange.com).
