I love this show. It’s thought-provoking and defies political polarization. I really appreciate how each topic is looked at for its own sake, from all sides with serious & thoughtful discussion instead of jokey political one-liners & self-righteous naval-gazing like so many shows these...Read full review »

From David French refusing to acknowledge Palestinians, to commentators blaming black people for wrongly desiring justice for Palestinians, this podcast looks to further the Biblical narrative that the only “correct” inhabitants of the Middle East are Israelis. It is both openly and covertly...Read full review »

I downloaded this podcast as it was recommended by another great podcast. I was looking for a Christian but neutral view of the current events. I am not sure I found either. The podcast seems to weekly spend a good portion of time attacking ex president Trump. I am not a Trump fan, his...Read full review »

This is such an engaging and informative podcast. Not to be missed each week! Takes complex news, church and cultural stories and presents them in a clear and understandable way. Highly recommended

Christianity Today has been a voice in the wilderness for me. The christian Nationalist movement has left me as a Jesus follower behind. I am so grateful for Russell Moore’s leadership in this magazine and podcast. It is well worth a listen here. The Mars Hill story was particularly well done!
Carol Cambra Smith via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/24
The show is a voice that cuts through confusion and handles the complex issues of the day rightly and with the dignity of all people in mind. I have a hard time finding thoughtful discussions on the day’s issues with the goal being to glorify Jesus and serve others. This show accomplishes that....Read full review »

I appreciate the podcast and gain insight and perspective in the listening. This particular episode (Reproach Carefully) got my attention in hearing the discussion about the resignation of Harvard’s president. I am so glad Nicole expressed her perspective and experience of POC having the added...Read full review »

The pretense of this podcast is that it is based on Christian beliefs. I’m not sure how you can claim that when one of the hosts isn’t even a Christian. The hosts don’t hold tightly to a Christian worldview and “Christianity Today” should not be willing to offer their platform to this show....Read full review »

*Generally*, the show is really thoughtful and the discussions are nuanced and respectful. Definitely worthy of listening to. No disrespect in this next statement: adding Nicole Martin, I believe, has led to substantive decrease in the quality of the discussions. For as often as she emphasizes...Read full review »

I enjoy the Bulletin pod and find the mix of Mike, Nicole and Russell a good one. I find each one thoughtful and enjoy the discussions. I particularly enjoyed the last “Ready For It” episode. I’m not generally a fan of typical year-end reviews/new-year talk but this was really good and gave me...Read full review »

I look forward to every episode produced by The Bulletin because I know it will be researched and that the discussion will be nuanced, compassionate and as objective as possible. Mike, Russel and Nicole bring perspective to the hot topics rocking our world today and their approach is...Read full review »

I can’t stop updating my review to this show. I friggin love it! So dang interesting and insightful. Nicole Martin is a great addition.
Ben88493930 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/15/23
Finally! A reasonable source of Christian thought that won’t be governed by political poisons and positions from either the right or the left. The CT staff offers much worthy conversation about faith-relevant news for consideration by today’s Christian. It’s so refreshing that this source of...Read full review »

These are the discussions I have been so longing to have but unsure how begin in my community and church family.

This has become a must listen for me.
harry stylerrrr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/23
The “conversations” (can you use this word less??) are often about politics and have little to nothing to do with Christianity. The female host needs to realize that every single time that she says “ummm” or “uh huh” or such that to a listener it is an interruption of the person speaking. ...Read full review »

Mike Cosper’s voice specifically is wise and helpful!
Marquisse W via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/23
I look forward to the new episodes each week! Very refreshing to hear a balanced view of politics instead of the usual, so called, conservative Christian bent. Nicole Martin is new to me but a fresh voice on so many topics. She is one of the most articulate and impressive female voices from CT...Read full review »

Really enjoyed the discussion when it was just Russell and Mike and sometimes a guest they interviewed. Now, it’s just lost it’s depth and I’ve quit listening. Popping back over to Russell’s podcast and anything Mike puts out on his own!
BKD1121 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/23
I like the work that Mike Cosper did on Mars Hill but this podcast cannot compare to that. Fluff topics and some guest can only contribute with "I think" or "I believe" Guests are usually fairly weak on expertise and knowledge. This podcast seldom actually refers to the Bible...Read full review »
Nobody kn22344 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/31/23
I appreciated Cosper’s work on the mars hill podcast and liked this early on. Lately the quality of the episodes has dipped and lacks in depth and doesn’t always inform the listener about the context of topics that are covered. For example when they were discussing Jason Aldeans song I hadn’t...Read full review »

Loved the show early on. Mike Cosper and Russel Moore’s conversations were thoughtful and engaging. That’s not been the case for months.
J Byrd AU Fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/23
The podcast covers a variety of weekly headline topics from a generally Christian perspective. Politics are discussed from a middle of the road to left leaning bias depending on the topic. You will be frustrated if you are politically literate with a lack of deeper political understanding. ...Read full review »

It’s been so refreshing to listen to this podcast weekly and hear balanced, morality and spiritually-charged takes on current events. This podcast is not for those who prioritize their politics over the religion. Rather I’ve found it provokes me to thought and encourages me to be able to better...Read full review »

It is so nice to get current events/ issues discussed from a nuanced Christian perspective that is not filtered through political ideology but strictly through a Gospel view. Thank you CT.
mattandkaramae via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/23
The hosts are clearly biased and hold to leftist ideologies. They enjoy putting the spotlight on specific people and issues without shining that spotlight on ALL that are guilty of the same.
Lifecreatesneed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/19/23
I just tuned in for the first time on the recommendation of a friend and listened to the episode “you’re going to need a bigger ballot” I agree with all your points regarding the treatment of homosexuals as consenting adults in a relationship but the way the Ugandan law read was: imprisonment...Read full review »

Shinnydog234 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/21/23
I thought I would be getting news with Christian worldview, and for many episodes, I feel like I did. But anytime there is any discussion of politics, I feel like I am listening to a CNN panel. All of the views are very biased towards the left. I get the sense that they believe any Christian even...Read full review »
B.A. in BR via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/23
The new female co-host took the Lord’s Name in vain (“Oh my God”). Then, Russ says that, since the civil war, America’s darkest hour was Jan. 6, 2021.
j48howard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/23
I absolutely love the variety of topics and guests! The Bulletin has become a highlight of my week and l'm grateful for the insight and Biblical perspective on current events that you all provide. I have not found another podcast of this caliber when it comes to the journalistic prowess and...Read full review »
Cmatt99 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/23
I find this podcast well presented and thoughtful, honest and engaging, and in the end I feel encouraged and hopeful that these conversations are happening. This podcast serves as a great opposition to what I occasionally feel as the depressing state of Christianity generally along with the...Read full review »
AndrewDarnell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/23
Like many others, my first intro to Mike Cosper was the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. There are so many ways that Mike is willing to lean into the difficult realities of faith in a fallen world that make my concerns feel acknowledged while also pushing me right back toward hope in Christ. This...Read full review »
Kbird219 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/23
I really do appreciate the podcast as a whole; it’s great to have current events discussed from a Christian perspective. However, I will say I very rarely finish an episode feeling encouraged as a Christian. While that could just reflect the status of Christianity in America, I wonder sometimes...Read full review »
Chelsea RP via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/23
Mike & Russell do a great job of thoughtfully looking at current events and suggesting what they mean to a Christian. Entertaining and very informative.
Kadena Joe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/23
I can’t say enough about this podcast- it’s informative, smart, and thorough. It’s clear that men and women that love the Lord and seeking out practical ways to deal with the world we are living in - to be in the world and be the hands and feet of Jesus, but not of the world. May God continue to...Read full review »

I came to this podcast by way of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill. The first few episodes, I was pleasantly surprised by their balanced and thoughtful treatment of current events while also relating it to Christian perspectives and experiences. However, recently I think the hosts have started...Read full review »

I really appreciate the perspective of this, and many CT podcasts.
Ex-Everclear fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/23
Loving the discussion that is willing to examine different points of view against Scripture and from men and women who view current events not as right or left, but as lovers of Jesus.
undignified87 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/23
I have loved listening to this podcast. It is such a refreshing Christian take on our world around us. I don’t always agree with their perspective but it is presented in such a balanced rational way that it challenges me to review where my beliefs are coming from. Thank you for adding your...Read full review »
Juliaelaine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/22
I really wanted to like this podcast more than I actually did, as I think something like this is so needed. If you’re looking for two friends chatting about current events from a Christian perspective, this is fine. If you’re looking for a more rigorous/informative take on politics from a...Read full review »
