Common Good Conversations
A few years ago brothers-in-law Nick Brock and Shawn Skinner started doing the unthinkable at family gatherings – talking about politics and faith at the dinner table. While at times tense and cautious those conversations were filled with curiosity, nuance, grace, and humor. Wanting to lean into that experience they decided to start a podcast. Common Good Conversations is a weekly opportunity for Nick and Shawn to talk about the politics and faith of West Michigan by being curious, nuanced, grace-filled, and humorous; perhaps they’ll learn something along the way.

Meet Common Good Candidate Mark Northrup of District 5 running to defeat Ottawa Impact
Hey, Everybody!
Nick and Shawn had the privilege of being in conversation with Mayor Mark Northrup of Hudsonville. Mark is running to defeat Commissioner Board Chair and leader of Ottawa Impact Joe Moss in District 5 during the August 6th primary. And if you know anything about Ottawa County politics the primary election is where more often than not local elections are decided.
In this episode you'll learn about the finer things in life such as bourbon, cigars, and crunchy peanut butter. You'll also learn about what's going on with the Ottawa GOP, what it means to be a Republican running against Ottawa Impact, and why Mark decided to become a Common Good Candidate.
Enjoy.
