Russell Brand: The only reason I'm on the stage to talk about this project is because of friendship. We're doing this as three friends, and we have that among us, a network of friends who we feel we can call on to that. That's what sustains our ability to be in this for the long term with faithfulness, with faithfulness. And so there's a way in which friendship over time, to suppose sustains the outward influence we might have in the world,. But also stains each other in terms of our fidelity and faithfulness to God versus the idols.
Andy Crouch returns to the podcast to question the widespread preoccupation with “making an impact.” Andy and Curtis talk about the limitations, drawbacks, and even potential idolatry involved when institutions and individuals are so focused on this definition of success. They then explore an alternative way to conceive of Christians’ role in the world, one that is rooted in the surprising model of Jesus.
