This episode is brought to you by For the Good of the Public, the Center for Christianity

and Public Life's annual summit in Washington, D.C., October 20th through 21st.

Too often, Christian political gatherings feel like they're about the public, but not for

them. This summit flips that script. We gather with joyful confidence to serve our neighbors

and work for the common good.

It's the premier national event for pastors, non-profit leaders, policy makers, educators,

and business professionals who want to learn and act together on issues like poverty, justice,

stronger neighborhoods, and faithful public engagement. Speakers this year include former Governor John Kasich, Justin Gibney of the Annab neighborhoods, and faithful public engagement.

Speakers this year include former governor John Kasich, Justin Gibney of the Anne campaign,

and Gen Z analyst Freya India.

Join us for panels, keynotes, and meals with other leaders.

You'll leave equipped with new ideas, resources, and relationships for navigating public life.
