The Bulletin

Not on Our Watch

Laws restrict pornography access, the Supreme Court codifies its ethics, and pro-life advocates look for what’s next.

This week on The Bulletin, host Russell Moore flies solo while Mike Cosper is in Israel and Nicole Martin is away preaching. The conversation continues with lively engagement around bad behavior and how we can apply all of the gospel to the darker corners of our lives—our unhealthy addiction to pornography, our tendency toward argumentation, and our lackluster support for a truly whole life pro-life ethic. Special guests include Sam Black of Covenant Eyes, Rick Kardos of The Nathan Project, CT’s new political correspondent Harvest Prude, and attorney Kelly Rosati.

He has also edited 16 other books on the impact of pornography and regularly speaks at parenting, leadership, and men’s events across the country. Sam’s deep knowledge and compassionate approach have helped countless individuals and families find healing and hope.

Rick Kardos is the founder and executive director of The Nathan Project, a ministry providing hope, leadership training, and a place of recovery for men who struggle with the compulsive use of pornography and sexual addiction, the spouses and ex-spouses of these men, and the families trapped in the menacing cycle of addiction.

Through The Nathan Project, he builds and oversees For Men Only (FMO) small groups from Pure Desire Ministries International.
