  • Appreciate it, don’t love the Israel bias

    I appreciate this podcast a lot. Although I don’t always agree with their perspectives, I appreciate the thoughtfulness behind the chosen topics and the discourse. My only beef is the constant bias toward Israel. Let’s not forget that conflict in the Holy Land began when Abraham was called by G-d to colonize it. Millennia of violent conflict ensued and is still perpetuated by the modern state of Israel. The Semitic people have and never will be the original people of the Holy Land and a bel... more

  • Non-experts speaking beyond their expertise every time

    I occasionally listen to hear what the non-MAGA conservative evangelical takes are on current events. I can handle difference of opinion, but hate listening to people talk with authority about issues they don’t really understand - their discussion makes it clear that these guys’ expertise comes from leadership in ecclesial settings and they don’t have relevant expertise in politics, social science, economics, or even religious studies — beyond their narrow SBC view. I finish every episode wantin... more

  • Just meh

    I want to like the podcast but it’s just meh. The host is honestly the worst part. She always defers to the men. Gross. Why does she insist on always referring to Trump as “Mr Trump”?? It’s just super weird and leaves me asking why a woman would do this??

    Russell Moore is likeable, and knowledgeable but his ultimate answer is always, the Bible says… we differ theologically, so I’ll give him a pass, but consider your wider audience.

    Idk. It’s just ok. I always hope it’s better, but it’s usually ... more

  • Open-Minded, Christ-grounded

    I have consistently had my mindset challenged or reframed, if not reinforced through disagreement, by listening to The Bulletin. And I think that’s the point: I don’t have to agree with the commentators and cast, I just want to sit at the table and hear what’s going on with the news, preferably from a perspective that is relevant to my personal metanarrative, and then think about it. I can listen to what’s being talked about from a gracious perspective, and also still end up at a different spot ... more

Protests in Israel, GOP Senate Primary in Texas, and Attitudes About Divorce
Q: Mike, how do you notice that Texans are responding to this matter of the Ten Commandments in schools?
Responses are mixed, with some seeing it as an important moral stance, while others believe it's a distraction from Paxton's issues.
Protests in Israel, GOP Senate Primary in Texas, and Attitudes About Divorce
Q: Russell, as we hear that kind of plea from former hostages, do protests ever really change anything when it comes to speaking back to a government like this?
Protests can change things over time, especially as they bring concerns to the forefront and affect public opinion, although sometimes they might initially appear as a symptom rather than a catalyst for change.
Protests in Israel, GOP Senate Primary in Texas, and Attitudes About Divorce
Q: Mike, could you give us just a briefing on why these protests are happening, who's showing up in the streets, and what's their end goal?
The protests are happening because there's a broad swath of Israelis showing discontent towards the ongoing war and the government's handling of it, particularly regarding the lack of tangible results like bringing hostages home.
Reclaiming Patriotism with Mona Charen
Q: How would you distinguish between patriotism and nationalism?
Charen explains that patriotism is love for one's country while nationalism centers on dominance over others, often involving aggressiveness.
Reclaiming Patriotism with Mona Charen
Q: Could you define for us, what does patriotism mean to you and why do you think that's a value or a virtue that we should be preserving?
Mona Charen differentiates between basic love for one's country and 'enlightened patriotism', which embodies gratitude for America's uniqueness and a recognition of its flaws.
