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.

0:00.0 | Welcome to the Good Faith Podcast. I'm your host, Curtis Chang, and the Good Faith |
0:25.2 | Podcast is a production of redeeming babble, and it's a place where friends who follow Jesus |
0:32.2 | help each other make sense of the world. And joining me today is a good friend, long-time |
0:39.7 | friend, and regular guest on Good Faith, Andy Crouch. Andy, welcome back. |
0:44.2 | Since this is my third time in history, I guess I'm regular at this point. Oh, yeah, for sure. |
0:49.6 | In the lifespan of The Good Faith, that makes me a regular. You're a three-timer at The Good Faith Podcast. |
0:58.9 | So for those of you who don't know Andy, Andy is a writer, a speaker, and a theologian in |
1:05.4 | residence at praxis. And praxis, for those of you don't know, is a really important Christian |
1:12.0 | ministry that is an incubator that helps entrepreneurs launch redemptive ventures in business, |

1:28.1 | praxis program for the business entrepreneurs while my wife Jody was in the inaugural program for |
1:34.2 | philanthropy. And so the Chang family, we are all in our praxis. We're regulars. We're just waiting |
1:43.0 | for you to launch a praxis youth programmer. We'll send the Chang kids through you. |

1:53.9 | have for today. And before I get to that topic, let me do a little setup here. So if you're a long |
2:00.8 | time listener of Good Faith, you know that Good Faith used to be owned and operated by the |
2:08.2 | Dispatch, which is a secular news outlet that David French used to work for. And this was before |
2:15.6 | David left to go join the New York Times. And at that point, it didn't make sense for Good Faith |
2:22.6 | to still be owned and operated by the Dispatch. So the Dispatch was kind and generous enough to |
2:27.5 | basically give us, give redeeming Babel the podcast, which to anybody who's listening, who's |
2:33.6 | part of the Dispatch. Thank you. That was a very generous gift. And what that did has it opened |
2:40.0 | up an opportunity for rethink the business model for Good Faith because the old business model |
