Hello, fellow wayfarers … Where I am this week … How we should talk in this polarized time … Johnny Cash … Books …. This is this week’s Moore to the Point.
CT Moves into the Future
A few weeks ago, we rolled out a relaunched, redesigned, re-envisioned Christianity Today magazine. Now the new website is here too. I love it and I hope you do too. We are in the process of some really interesting changes to it, so I’m going to be a little more to the point this week while the team gets some stuff on the site ready that you’re going to want to see. I’ll be back next Wednesday, as usual.
Listening In to Our After Party
This week on the podcast, you can hear a conversation that David French, Curtis Chang, and I had in Washington, DC, with Ashley Hales, who is moving from The Russell Moore Show to take a new role as editorial director of the print magazine here at CT.
We talk about how Christians can model the way of Jesus in a volatile, angry, chaotic election season and beyond. We talk with each other and then answer audience questions. Take a listen wherever you get your podcasts.
QUOTE OF THE MOMENT
“I wear the black for those who’ve never read
Or listened to the words that Jesus said
About the road to happiness through love and charity
Why, you’d think he’s talking straight to you and me.”
—Johnny Cash

ask a question or say hello
The Russell Moore Show podcast includes a section where we grapple with the questions you might have about life, the gospel, relationships, work, the church, spirituality, the future, a moral dilemma you’re facing, or whatever. You can send your questions to questions@russellmoore.com. I’ll never use your name—unless you tell me to—and will come up with a groan-inducing pun of a pseudonym for you.
And, of course, I would love to hear from you about anything. Send me an email at questions@russellmoore.com if you have any questions or comments about this newsletter, if there are other things you would like to see discussed here, or if you would just like to say hello.
