Russell, Mike, and Clarissa are joined by David Zahl (Mockingbird Ministries) to talk about the Democratic National Convention—what happened and what opponents and “those on the outside” are saying about the Harris-Walz ticket, and what Christians who feel homeless can do about political involvement. Then Katelyn Beaty joins us to explore the trad-wife social media movement and why both men and women deserve something better.

The Bulletin is a weekly (and sometimes more!) current events show from Christianity Today hosted and moderated by Clarissa Moll, with senior commentary from Russell Moore (Christianity Today’s editor in chief) and Mike Cosper (director, CT Media).

We also offer special one-on-one conversations with writers, artists, and thought leaders whose impact on the world brings important significance to a Christian worldview, like Bono, Harrison Scott Key, Frank Bruni, and more.
