i think apple at its best is to bring creativity into the world. And and also calling institutions to be their best god created self. All human beings, christian or non christian, have some sliver of god's character that they're meant to reflect back out in the world. David Perry: By shining a light on these things, what you're doing is you're providing aid and comfort to a more dangerous enemy.

In the inaugural episode of the Good Faith Podcast, David French and his theological wingman Curtis Chang discuss some of the recent issues at Liberty University and how Christians should think about the concept of institutional sin. Curtis makes the theological case for how human institutions fit into the biblical narrative and that as such, they are both made in the image of God and also capable of sin and brokenness. They also discuss why it is important for Christians to place a high priority on being honest and open about institutional sin in our own ranks, amongst our own institutions.
