R-Soul: Reclaiming the Soul of Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice
When the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a death blow in 2022 to federal abortion protections offered by Roe v. Wade, a gruesome patchwork quilt of abortion regulations covered the nation, creating drastic gaps to abortion access from state to state. Three years into this new “normal,” Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams talk about what life is like now that nobody got what they really wanted from the U.S. Supreme Court. Focusing on the impact that confusing abortion laws and vague, ever-changing repro rights restrictions have on patients seeking care, Kelley and Terry frame the present as a prelude to what's possible through religious freedom protections, communal resistance, and effective organizing in the coming years.

I've been away, not out of apathy, but because I've been growing, studying, lamenting, rebuilding—and finding my center. I've spent that time preparing, and now, I'm coming back with a plan, a purpose, and a clarity I didn't have before. This episode lays out the foundation for everything that comes next. I'm introducing a new, methodical cycle—a rotation of the most urgent and interconnected issues of our time:Gaza and the global fight against genocideThe rise of fascism in AmericaWhite supremacy and systemic racismFailures and complicity within the Democratic PartyNuances within the Black communityWhy Christianity and capitalism are fundamentally incompatibleEach topic will be revisited regularly. This is not headline-chasing. This is strategic, educational, and mobilizing work—meant to build a body of knowledge that equips us for the fight ahead. I also want to be clear about this shift: I'm leading more publicly with my faith now—not as a means of exclusion, but because it's the source of my clarity and conviction.That said, this space has always been and will always remain rooted in unity—centered around The People of Good Faith. That means you—whether you're Christian, atheist, Muslim, agnostic, Jewish, spiritual, or none of the above. If you yield to truth, if you are committed to justice, if you're willing to confront inconvenient facts for the sake of collective liberation—then you are welcome here. You are needed here.I talk in this episode about why I'm moving to daily audio, how social media algorithms have suppressed this work, and why I'm no longer waiting for perfection to speak truth. I ask you—if you've ever stood with me—to show up again. Share this episode. Commit to listening. Reconnect. Because the best of what's coming won't be possible without you. This isn't just a podcast. It's a strategy. A community. A movement. And it starts now.

New York Times columnist and Good Faith contributor David French joins Curtis Chang to reflect on what a year of teaching college students taught him about faith, over-parenting, and the future of American democracy.

When an insurance company is accused of acting in bad faith, it's alleged that they failed to act fairly and reasonably in handling a claim -- often related to not agreeing to a reasonable settlement when the financial risk to the insured at trial was known to be substantial. In this episode, host Dr. Gita Pensa talks with Florida attorney Dale Swope about his decades of experience with bad faith lawsuits. Mr. Swope emphasizes that some liability insurers are more reliable and fair-minded than others, so it's important to consider an insurer's reputation. Just as an adverse medical event doesn't always mean malpractice, an unfavorable legal outcome doesn't automatically mean the insurer acted in bad faith. However, insurers do have obligations to their policyholders—and if those obligations aren't met and there's a negative legal outcome, it can lay the groundwork for a bad faith lawsuit. Mr. Swope also makes starkly clear the importance of knowing who you're really working for when you're working for a mega-group. (You'll want to check the name on your W-2 immediately.) Dale Swope is managing partner of Swope, Rodante P.A. which is the development of the solo firm practice he founded six months out of law school, in 1979. In his more than thirty years of service as a Board-Certified Civil Trial Specialist, and previously a Board-Certified Business Litigation Specialist, Mr. Swope has won many awards, and holds a reputation as one of the preeminent attorneys practicing in Florida in the area of insurance bad faith.

What is Advent peace? Does it mean inner peace, world peace, or maybe peace with God and others? In this second episode of the Good Faith Advent series, Curtis Chang is joined by Good Faith contributor and author Andy Crouch to explore the true meaning of the peace promised by Jesus' coming. Together, they challenge common assumptions about peace, examining familiar Christmas messages through the lens of Scripture and the historical context of Christ's birth. By reexamining some familiar hymns and traditions, Curtis and Andy invite listeners to consider an Advent peace that acknowledges suffering and speaks into the hard realities of the holiday season—and everyday life.
