Not on Our Watch

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.
