Episode notes

Sally Kohn: At a time when American life is so dominated by animosity, this is exactly the moment when a spirit filled fruit of the spirit animated Christian community should be blazing forth. She says Christians are often extremely interested in doctrine and not at all interested in kindness. "In many ways, we actually turn our back on justice itself in our interactions with others"

Host Curtis Chang and regular guest David French discuss what young Christians need to be formed for thriving. In this far ranging conversation, they explore negative partisanship, the fruits of the spirit, the revival at Asbury, and how Christians should best interact with the world through politics. Also, Curtis describes how anxiety is a surprising underlying cause of the political acrimony and divisiveness that plagues our culture today. This special Good Faith podcast was recorded in front of a live audience at The Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, a higher education association of more than 185 Christian institutions around the world.
