Podcasts about Common good

How do we position ourselves to receive more of the Holy Spirit? In Part 3 of our More series, Pastor Brandon teaches from 1 Corinthians 12 and unpacks two key areas that often keep people from experiencing everything God has for them. From understanding biblical generosity to overcoming misconceptions about spiritual gifts, this message challenges us to pursue God above experiences and to discover the unique gifts He has placed within each of us for the good of the Church. No matter your background or previous experiences, God has more for you.

Phillip Munoz discusses what the Founding Fathers believed about the Common Good.

This reflection on Pope Leo XIV's Magnifica Humanitas considers truth as a common good in the age of digital platforms, AI, and disinformation.

In this era of polarization, how can Americans embrace statesmen who find common ground and move the country forward?     The United States has thrived for 250 years despite constant and evolving political differences. But does today's political and civic environment reward the leadership qualities essential to a robust democracy?     Join David Young and guest Rep. Don Bacon, R-Nebraska, to explore how the Founding Fathers would react to America in 2026, why politicians should spend less time on social media and more time with constituents, and why we need more statesman willing to compromise for the common good.     For more from The Conference Board:  250 Years Forward: Strengthening an American Future  America at 250: How Can We Move Past Political Deadlock?  The CEO Center Q2 2026 Impact Report 

In 2012, Connecticut voters chose Chris Murphy as a replacement for retiring senator Joe Lieberman. He was the youngest U.S. senator serving at the time. And in the years since, his national profile has grown. He's been a vocal advocate for gun reform and become a high-profile critic of the Trump administration. But most recently he’s been talking about a different kind of crisis. It's the subject of his new book Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America.

Sean talks with Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy about the crisis lurking beneath America's political dysfunction. Murphy's new book “Crisis of the Common Good” argues that the country is suffering from a collapse of connection, belonging, and purpose. They discuss loneliness, powerlessness, liberalism, democracy, Trumpism, corporate power, social media, and why so many Americans feel disconnected from their communities, their institutions, and each other.

Send us Fan MailIn this new episode of the Two Kens, Ken Fong and I explore a growing movement that claims white Americans have become an "unprotected class" in modern America. Sparked by the ideas of author and Claremont Institute fellow Jeremy Carl, whose book The Unprotected Class argues that anti-white discrimination is widespread, we examine the resurgence of white identity politics at a moment when DEI initiatives and anti-racism efforts are facing significant backlash.We discuss the concept of racism as a perceived zero-sum game—the belief that gains for minorities necessarily mean losses for the dominant culture—and how that narrative is shaping today's political landscape. Along the way, we ask a surprisingly complicated question: What does it mean to be "white" in America? We contrast the emerging politics of white grievance with Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of a color-blind society and consider whether America's future lies in competing racial identities or in a renewed commitment to common dignity, solidarity, and the common good.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

“The fight,” Senator Chris Murphy tells Harry, “shouldn't just be to get rid of Trump. The fight should be to create a different economy and a different culture.” That's the message of the senator's new book—Crisis of the Common Good—which offers a host of provocative ideas for fixing the cracks in our society through which Trump crawled his way to power. After the two look at some of the latest Trump-induced crises, like Iran and the slush fund, Harry digs into the book's many big ideas. He closes by asking the senator about the steps any American can take toward a happier life and a healthier democracy.

Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut believes there is a “spiritual rot” festering in the country – and he wants the left and right to come together to resolve it. His new book Crisis of the Common Good argues the United States worships profit over people. In it, he takes aim at corporations, billionaires and super PACs. In today's episode, he speaks with Morning Edition's Leila Fadel about addressing financial inequality in the United States and what Democrats can learn from Donald Trump about messaging.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedaySee pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

On this episode of The Common Good, hosts Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse dive deep into a news cycle defined by manufactured distractions and hidden influences. The conversation begins with a sober look at the geopolitical landscape, tracking the continued danger radiating from Iran as regional instability threatens to boil over. Yet, while critical national security concerns demand the country's full attention, Donald Trump remains hyper-focused on an entirely different kind of swamp: the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The hosts unpack the administration's bizarre obsession with the botched "American Flag Blue" renovation—now a peeling, algae-ridden public relations disaster—and the outright lies and wild conspiracy theories being spun to deflect from executive incompetence. Finally, the discussion turns to the bombshell investigative reports surrounding Tulsi Gabbard following her sudden exit from her senior national security role. Doug and Robb unpack the disturbing evidence detailing her deep, long-standing ties to a secretive religious sect. They examine how the group's leadership actively worked behind the scenes to dictate her policy positions, raising critical questions about autonomy, judgment, and the quiet forces shaping American political power. For a deeper look at the breaking investigations into these behind-the-scenes dynamics, you can watch this report on Tulsi Gabbard's ties. This investigative video breaks down the specific internal memos and confidential communications that detail how outside spiritual guidance directly shaped her congressional career and legislative decisions.

In this conversation, Amar Peterman and I get into the slow, local, unglamorous work of becoming neighbors across real difference. We talk about the table as the place where the common good gets built, and why so many of us are far more comfortable playing host than being hosted - flinging our doors open without ever considering who actually walks through them. We get into hospitality as displacement, an accompaniment that refuses to leave, Thomas learning you can't reason your way to resurrection, and an imagination that can see life where everything around us insists there's only division. Here's the challenge: we have to learn to receive before we can ever give, to love people beyond their labels, and to start right where we are, with the one neighbor in front of us.Amar D. Peterman is a constructive theologian working at the intersection of faith and public life. He is the founder of Scholarship for Religion and Society LLC and the former assistant director of civic networks at Interfaith America. Peterman holds an MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary and is currently a PhD student at the University of Chicago Divinity School. His writing and research have been featured in Sojourners, Christianity Today, The Christian Century,The Fetzer Institute, The Berkley Forum, and more.

I've always supported small business, including having my own little media operation that has long allowed me to run my mouth for a living.One of the greatest aspects of being small – as opposed to corporation, conglomerate, or chain – is that you're the boss. I don't mean bossy, autocratic, “The Big Jerk.” I mean you have the flexibility to shape the enterprise according to deeper values than selfish profit and business “efficiency.” Concepts like fairness, integrity, community, diversity – even fun – come to the fore.Despite today's corporatized, politically-rigid economic order, such value-driven small business mavericks flourish all across America. For example, P. Terry's Burger Stand here in Austin. Started 20 years ago by Patrick and Kathy Terry, it's a small local chain of 38 restaurants embracing the down-home ideals of quality, affordability, and community support.But they also nurtured a core element of good business that is too often disregarded: Employees. As Kathy put it: “We believed that taking care of people – and building a great business – were not competing ideas.” Fair wages, basic needs, respect, belonging, advancement, happiness – these are the “inputs” that actually matter to the people who do the work and, through them, generate business success.Now the Terry's are taking two big steps to expand their ideals. One, they've set up a company-wide profit-sharing system so their 1,800 employees get a share of business income in addition to their paycheck. And two, they've created a special trust to provide employee ownership that can carry the values into the future.To learn more about businesses that live up to such progressive ideals, go to the National Center for Employee Ownership: nceo.orgJim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

A conversation with Mark Hoipkemier about his recent book "The Price of the Common Good: Markets, Corporations, and Political Economy" (Notre Dame Press).

Send us Fan MailWhat We Love, What We Fear, What Comes NextAs America approaches its 250th birthday, Betsey Newenhuyse and I take some time on Beach Talk to reflect on what we love most about this remarkable and complicated nation. We talk about the ideals that have inspired generations of Americans—democracy, freedom of conscience, a free press, equal rights, and the ongoing work of building "a more perfect union." Along the way, we share personal memories, from patriotic songs and high school choir performances to family stories and reflections on the values that continue to shape our lives.But this conversation isn't just nostalgic. We also explore some of the deeper challenges facing our country today. Why have so many evangelicals embraced Donald Trump so enthusiastically? What does that reveal about the relationship between faith, power, and leadership in America? Drawing on the insights of writers and thinkers such as Pete Wehner, Kristin Kobes Du Mez, David Gushee, and others, we examine the rise of Christian nationalism and the choices facing American Christians in this cultural moment.We also discuss the importance of strong institutions, higher education, religious liberty, and the freedom to worship according to one's conscience.

In this episode with Aaron Cline Hanbury, we think through how we relate to technology and the things we make. We tackle the question underneath the whole AI moment: not just what it means to be human when machines can do more and more, but what it means to be alive. We get into whether any technology is really neutral, where our attention is going and who's buying it, raising kids in a screen-saturated world, and what it takes to stay awake to wonder.Aaron Cline Hanbury is a writer and editor whose essays and profiles have appeared in various publications, including The Atlantic.

The Democratic Party is in the middle of a rupture over foreign policy – with Israel and Palestine at the center. In recent weeks, the Democratic senators Brian Schatz and Chris Van Hollen both called for a break with the Biden administration's policies toward Israel. Schatz said the next administration needs “a whole new crop of foreign policy staffers,” while Van Hollen went further, accusing Biden's senior decision makers of “complicity.” And Gaza has become a central issue splitting Democrats in primaries around the country. It's become such a profound fault line, it reminds me of how the Iraq war remade the Democratic Party years ago. And Democrats face huge foreign policy questions beyond Gaza, too. Trump has taken a wrecking ball to the rules-based order, and the American public has become increasingly cynical about U.S. interventions abroad. Do Democrats want to try to restore what came before Trump? Is that even possible? Or is there a vision for something new? Matt Duss is at the center of foreign policy thinking on the left. He's the executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, previously served as Senator Bernie Sanders's foreign policy adviser and is currently advising Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. So I thought he'd be the perfect person to ask: What would a left foreign policy actually look like? What would it try to do in the world?Mentioned: “The Hard Truth My Party Needs to Face” by Chris Van Hollen “Democrats Can't Avoid a Reckoning With Gaza” by Matthew Duss “Why We Need a Progressive Foreign Policy” by Chris Murphy “Congressman Jason Crow's New Vision for American Foreign Policy” by Jason Crow Book Recommendations: Crisis of the Common Good by Chris Murphy From Life Itself by Suzy Hansen Book of Mercy by Leonard Cohen Thoughts?

Should it be about the pre-distribution, rather than re-distribution, of wealth? Will that create an economy with fewer billionaires? How would it work in practice? Is it even possible given the balance of power lies with the rich? Leading economist Professor Mariana Mazzucato is back to tell us why her theory on ‘The Common Good' is a game changer for Western economies. Plus does she think Gabriel Zucman's wealth tax on billionaires is a good idea? Robert and Steph find out. The Rest is Money is brought to you by Octopus Energy, Britain's smart energy pioneer.

Work is not merely a way to make a living. It is also one of the primary ways we love our neighbors. Whether you lead a company, teach a class, manage a home, serve in your church, care for children, volunteer in your community, or invest resources for the future, God has entrusted you with influence. That influence is not accidental. It is part of your stewardship. We often think of stewardship in financial terms—and rightly so. But God has given us more than money to steward. He has also entrusted us with skills, relationships, opportunities, knowledge, experience, and influence. Dr. Amy Sherman has spent years helping Christians see their daily work as a means of seeking the common good and participating in God's redemptive mission in the world. She calls this vocational stewardship—the faithful use of our work and influence to reflect God's character, serve others, and contribute to the flourishing of the world around us. What Is Vocational Stewardship? Vocational stewardship begins with the recognition that our work is a gift from God. He has given each of us certain abilities, opportunities, networks, and positions of influence. Some of those gifts are expressed through paid employment. Others are expressed through volunteering, homemaking, caregiving, mentoring, leadership, or service. In every case, the question is the same: How can I use what God has entrusted to me for His purposes? Our work is not simply a platform for earning income. It is a platform for reflecting the kingdom of God. It is one of the places where discipleship becomes visible. That means vocational stewardship is not limited to pastors, missionaries, or people in explicitly ministry-related roles. It applies to business owners, teachers, nurses, engineers, artists, parents, retirees, tradespeople, administrators, and everyone else seeking to serve God faithfully where He has placed them. Wherever we are, God invites us to ask: How can my work help others experience something of His goodness, justice, beauty, compassion, and care? More Than Integrity at Work Faithful work certainly includes character. Christians should be honest, dependable, compassionate, and hardworking. We should do our work with integrity, humility, and excellence. But vocational stewardship presses us to go a step further. It asks us not only to consider how we do our work, but also what our work contributes. What does my work make possible for others?  How does it affect employees, customers, clients, families, communities, or creation?  Does it contribute to healing, order, beauty, justice, provision, or human flourishing? Does it help people experience a small glimpse of what God intends for His world? These questions help us see work as part of God's larger redemptive purposes. A Foretaste of God's Kingdom Scripture gives us a beautiful picture of the future God is bringing about—a renewed creation where there is no more suffering, corruption, injustice, or death. God's kingdom will be marked by peace, wholeness, abundance, community, intimacy with Him, and restored relationships. Vocational stewardship asks: How can my work today offer others a small foretaste of that coming reality? That may sound lofty, but it can become very practical. A business owner might create flexible schedules for employees who are single parents, allowing them to care well for their children. An architect might help clients choose safer building materials and energy-efficient designs that promote health and care for creation. A teacher might create a classroom where students feel seen, challenged, and encouraged. A manager might cultivate a workplace marked by fairness, dignity, and trust. These are not small things. They are glimpses of God's kingdom breaking into ordinary places through ordinary faithfulness. Every Vocation Matters You may be working full-time, raising children at home, caring for aging parents, leading a company, serving in retirement, or volunteering behind the scenes. Whatever your situation, you have been entrusted with something. You have skills, wisdom, relationships, experience, and influence. Vocational stewardship is not about having a certain title. It is about asking, “Where has God placed me, and how can I use what He has given me to serve others?” That question can change the way we see daily life. Work becomes more than a task list. Leadership becomes more than authority. Parenting becomes more than a responsibility. Retirement becomes more than leisure. Investing becomes more than preparation for the future. All of life becomes an opportunity to reflect Christ. Investing as Vocational Stewardship Vocational stewardship also affects the way we think about money—especially investing. Many people view investing primarily as a way to grow wealth and prepare for the future. Those are legitimate concerns. Wise financial planning is part of good stewardship. But investing is also about deploying capital into companies that shape communities, culture, and the marketplace. When we invest, we are helping determine which companies grow and thrive. That means Christians can ask deeper questions about what their investments support. What does this company produce? How does it treat employees? Does it contribute to the well-being of communities? Does it view profit as a means of serving people, or as the ultimate goal? These questions do not eliminate the need for wise financial analysis. But they do remind us that investing is not morally neutral. Our financial decisions can reflect what we value and whom we seek to serve. For someone new to this idea, the first step is simple: become more aware of what you own. Look at the companies represented in your portfolio. Over time, consider whether your investments align with your values and contribute to the kind of world you believe honors God. Work as a Place of Discipleship God deeply cares about our work. Since we spend so much of our lives working, our discipleship must show up there, too. Our workplaces, homes, investments, and communities are not separate from our faith. They are places where we are formed into the image of Christ and where we can embody the good news of the gospel. That does not mean every workday will feel spiritually significant. Much of faithful stewardship looks ordinary: answering emails, making decisions, serving customers, preparing meals, managing employees, helping a neighbor, or showing up with patience when the work is hard. Every act of honesty, compassion, creativity, courage, justice, and service can become a way of reflecting God's character. Faithfulness Where God Has Placed You Your work matters to God. He has placed you where you are for a reason, and He has given you work to do—not only for your provision, but also for the good of others. Vocational stewardship invites us to see our influence differently. Instead of asking only, “What can I earn?” we begin asking, “How can I serve?” Instead of viewing work only as a source of income, we begin to see it as a calling to love our neighbors. And as we do, even our ordinary work can become a glimpse of the world God is making new. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: My father-in-law has EE savings bonds that matured in 2023 and are no longer earning interest. Because he has a substantial income, he's considering giving us the bonds so we can cash them in and take on the tax liability instead. Is that allowed, and is it the best way to handle the bonds given his income and tax situation? My company is allowing us to move some 401(k) funds to private investment firms. I have about $1.1 million in my 401(k), and my advisor would charge around 1.99% to manage the funds. Would it be wise to move part of the money to my advisor, or should I keep it in the current 401(k) funds?

John welcomes back Democratic Senator Chris Murphy to discuss his new book “Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America.” Murphy lays out his book's argument that America is in the grip of a set of interlocking cults (the Cult of Profit, Cult of Everywhere, Cult of Technology, Cult of Consumerism, Cult of Credentialism, and Cult of Corruption) that have undermined our culture and democracy—and suggests creating a Cult of the Common Good to remedy what ails us. He also weighs in on the diplomatic quagmire in Iran and Donald Trump's wildly prolific, deeply suspicious penchant for day trading.

This week at Central Vineyard, Dan continues our series The Gift and the gifts as we turn from the Gift of the Holy Spirit to the gifts the Spirit gives. Exploring the New Testament's teaching on spiritual gifts, Dan frames the gifts of the Spirit as “gracelets” — little manifestations of God's grace, given for the common good. These gifts are not labels to possess, platforms to build, or performances to admire. They are graces received from God, practised in love, developed through use, and matured in the way of Jesus. From words of revelation, to works of power, to acts of mercy and service, the Spirit gives gifts widely across the whole body so that everyone can participate in the life and ministry of Jesus. The invitation is to ask, “What grace is God giving me, and how can I pass it on?” The talk closes with a simple prayer practice, inviting us to behold someone in love and ask the Holy Spirit what grace might be needed for them — a word, a prayer, or an act of service.

Senator Chris Murphy joins Sam to talk about keeping plants alive and why he's been walking across the state of Connecticut for ten years, now with titanium screws in his knees!They discuss his new book, Crisis of the Common Good and debate whether it is a sequel to Heated Rivalry (he is adamant it isn't). Senator Murphy explains why Americans are lonelier than they've ever been, and why President Trump is richer than he's ever been before. They talk the skyrocketing pay of CEOS, and why those CEOs are building secret bunkers because they know their products will destroy the world. They both insist they will never become part of the gerontocracy and unpack why there are so many young people in the Connecticut State House.  Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and X.

E. Jean Carroll, the woman who won two civil suits against Donald Trump to the tune of $88+ million, is now the target of a Justice Department investigation for perjury. The DOJ probe is viewed by many as yet another example of the president seeking retribution from his perceived enemies and critics. But in his new book “Crisis of the Common Good,” Democratic Senator Chris Murphy argues that Trump is not the root cause of America's troubles, but the product of a much deeper crisis. He joins Christiane from Chicago.  Also on today's show: former Costa Rica VP Rebeca Grynspan, now Secretary-General of UNCTAD; historian Jill Lepore on her new book "We the People"    Learn more about your ad choices.

America used to value things — youth sports, local businesses and accessible healthcare, for example — simply because they were good for communities. That's according to Sen. Chris Murphy, who says over the past 50 years the United States has seen a shift away from common goods in favor of profit, disconnection and unhappiness. We speak with the Connecticut Democrat about his new book, “Crisis of the Common Good,” and the values he believes could unite America — or at least the Democratic Party.

What are we building? Pope Leo XIV puts that question to us in his new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence. The title itself echoes Mary's Magnificat — the song of a humanity whose grandeur is recognized in being lifted up by God, not in seizing heaven for itself. That grandeur, the Pope insists, is revealed in its fullness only in Christ, and threatened today by new forms of dehumanization.The encyclical takes its bearings from two biblical images: the Tower of Babel, where a unified language and a unified technology serve a project that aspires to reach heaven without God; and the rebuilding of Jerusalem under Nehemiah, where a city is reborn through prayer and the shared responsibility of all. Pope Leo asks us which of these we are building. Technology, he reminds us, is never neutral. It takes the character of those who devise, finance, and deploy it.Brett Robinson joins me today to help us read this encyclical. Brett is my colleague here in the McGrath Institute for Church Life, where he leads our efforts in Catholic Media Studies.Follow-up Resources:Magnifica Humanitas, Encyclical Letter of Pope Leo XIV"Dilexit Nos – Part 2, a conversation with Abigail Favale and Brett Robinson," podcast episode via Church Life Today"Edge of Belief: UFO's, Technology, and the Catholic Imagination, with Brett Robinson," podcast episode via Church Life Today"AI, Ethics, and the Common Good, with Adam Kronk," podcast episode via Church Life Today"AI, Education, and Doing Hard Stuff, with Adam Kronk," podcast episode via Church Life Today"The Next Wave of Artificial Intelligence and Our Humanity, with Stephanie DePrez," podcast episode via Church Life Today"Dilexi Te: On Love for the Poor, with Fr.

In the coming weeks, months and years we will see more and more talk of “the common good” as the solution and guiding principle for bringing order to the world. But the life of Christ and the teachings of the bible actually testify against this way of thinking, because it is fundamentally antichrist. That may seem like a bold claim, but today we will see what the bible actually has to say about the common good. * 00:00 - Introduction* 03:59 - What is the Common Good?* 13:55 - The Common Good as a Counterfeit of the Truth* 24:23 - What the Bible Says About the Common Good* 1:00:40 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

Trump Has Gone Full Mob Boss and  Acts Like a Don Trump isn't just bending the rules anymore — he's desteroying them for his own benefit, and daring anyone to stop him. On this episode of Common Good, Doug Pagitt and Robb Ryerse dig into what happens when the most powerful office in the world gets treated like a family business and a protection racket rolled into one. We're talking about a president who has turned the federal budget into a personal slush fund, steered contracts and influence toward his family and allies, and governed with the kind of impunity that used to be reserved for the untouchable. This isn't politics as usual. This is something different — and it deserves to be named clearly. From the deals that benefit Trump Tower to the policy moves that pad the pockets of people closest to him, the pattern is impossible to ignore. The mob boss doesn't need to break the law if he gets to write it. And right now, he's writing a lot of it. Doug and Robb don't pull punches on this one. If you've been feeling the weight of what's happening and wondering whether anyone is willing to say it out loud — this episode is for you. We believe government should serve people, not enrich the powerful. We believe the common good is worth fighting for. And we believe the first step is telling the truth about what we're actually dealing with. Listen. Share. And pass it along to someone who needs to hear it.

In America's frontier days, anyone diverting a town's creek water to their private, profiteering purpose was not merely considered wrong, but guilty of Biblical-level immorality.That was BBE, however – “Before Billionaire Ethics.” Today, a cohort of über-rich hucksters – including Bezos, Altman, Musk, and Zuckerberg – have unilaterally decreed that they are above such moral fussiness, entitled to exploit the scarce water resources of millions of Americans, especially in rural areas.They're not irrigating crops, but continuously spritzing hundreds of thousands of the super-computers they're “planting” in the hyperscale AI data centers being built across the country. These are “computer ranches,” digesting and constantly spewing out electronic data to run artificial intelligence bots that the tech billionaires are creating to replace us human workers.Jobs aside, each of these concrete complexes is a massive water hog. Amazon, Meta, and the rest use millions of gallons a day of fresh, unrecycled water, just to keep their computers cool. Hello – states like Texas face recurring drought, yet billionaires insist on draining our aquifers and rivers to water their computers! In Texas alone, more than 400 of these sprawling data centers have already been built or are under construction.Meanwhile, a grassroots “What The Hell” movement is spreading across the country. But don't expect billionaires to show even an iota of respect for the Common Good. Indeed, they're now funding an all-out PR blitz and political campaign to demonize these local rebellions. Worse, they are doubling down on their plutocratic power grab, demanding that Congress pre-emptively outlaw state and local officials from regulating, much less barring, these invasive schemes.To help battle these profiteering b******s, go to www.mediajustice.org/tools.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.
