Good Faith Weekly

Good Faith Weekly is a weekly conversation about faith, culture, and public responsibility from a progressive Christian point of view. Mitch Randall and Missy Randall host it with a familiar rhythm: a personal catch-up first, then a longer interview with someone carrying a book, ministry, memoir, or public argument into the room. The first half can feel casual and domestic. The second half often asks much harder questions. Recent conversations have covered LGBTQ-affirming Baptist churches, trauma and memory after wartime childhood, conspiracy theory inside American evangelicalism, biblical interpretation, mental health, religious control, and life under movement restrictions in Israel-Palestine. The show’s range is part of its identity. It can move from a missing keyboard key to a memoir about holy disobedience, from a medical errand joke to a conversation about churches that welcome LGBTQ plus people. That movement rarely feels accidental. The hosts use ordinary life as an entry point into moral attention. Guests are given room to explain the stakes of their work, whether that means interpreting scripture, narrating trauma, describing institutional church tensions, or naming the social cost of silence. The show is clearly rooted in Christianity, but it is not interested in a narrow or defensive faith. It prefers Christianity tested by inclusion, freedom, justice, and honest public speech. Listeners hear affection for church alongside frustration with its failures. They also hear curiosity about books, activism, family histories, and the ways private experience becomes public witness. The tone is warm and lightly irreverent, but the substance is earnest. Good Faith Weekly works best for people who want religious conversation that can hold humor, grief, critique, and hope in the same hour.
