    Such goodness to learn with you and your guests Dr. Moore. Thank you.

  • Bisagnibus
    Why the silence on the issue of abuse in the church?
    In the episode on prediction of the future Church, I’m curious as to why spiritual abuse and the sexual abuse cover-up was never mentioned as an issue in waning church attendance. Broken trust between leadership and congregants weakens a congregants loyalty, knowing that when they need help the most they’ll be betrayed and abandoned, or attacked as a threat. When church leaders care more about protecting themselves and their system than they do about protecting those in their care, it gives people nowhere else to go. When the church becomes a country club, it loses its appeal for those who have suffered trauma.

    Thoughtful
    Enjoy the thoughtful conversation each episode.
  • MusicCityEngineer
    Love the show, hate the intro music
    Russell is a generous, gracious host who asks his guests thoughtful and insightful questions. His yes are generally interesting and thoughtful people as well. Now, if we could only get rid of that intro music. To me it seems to go on for an eternity.

    My Yet-To-Read List Keeps Growing
    I have yet to come across a book via this podcast that I haven’t read but want to after listening to his dialogue with authors. Very much appreciate not only the guests and their perspectives, but also the way Dr. Moore models how to converse charitably with someone who he disagrees with on small and big things.
  • Rachereview

    Thank You Russel for sharing your insights and for interviewing so many great guests.
  • LewLHIV
    Appreciate the perspective
    I don’t always agree with Russell but I appreciate his heart and viewpoints and willingness to see things from a different perspective. He has paid professionally and personally for what he believes and yet doesn’t back away for personal benefit. His latest book is also worth the read!

    Living in a christian utopia!
    This guy doesn’t seem to live in reality women are looking at porn and are masturbating as well . It like he is set in the 70’s and the fact he thinks kids d do better a church setting then not isn’t true at all I have seen kid from my youth group grow up to be heathens because of there own decisions .

    Truth and Faithfulness
    Russell Moore has been such a steady and faithful man of God through so many ups and downs. The wisdom he shares through his books and podcasts has blessed me immeasurably, and despite being treated horrifically by many in the church, he has been a constant loving and calm presence. He is a genuine example of what it looks like to live out the Fruits of the Spirit. I’m so very thankful for his faithfulness.
  • C. R. Imes
    Moore is terrific for our times!
    This is a terrific podcast for everyone but especially those of us who see troubling trends in our churches & politics. His logic is biblical & with common sense. He has been consistent for years which makes him even more trustworthy. Thanks for this interesting, timely podcast.

    Refreshing Christian Podcast
    I’ve been listening to this show for some months now and continue to enjoy each episode. I love the addition of Ashley’s voice and perspective. Keep up the good work!
  • My Side of 50
    One of my favorite podcasts on current issues
    Love hearing Russell Moore discuss current issues facing the church with his guests. Conversations filled with wisdom, respect, good questions & humility.

  • NerdyScholar
    Edifying!
    I feel so edified and encouraged after listening to this podcast. Thank you Russell Moore!
  • JMDworak
    My favorite podcast!
    My favorite podcast! Russell Moore is so great to listen to and I appreciate his humility to learn more when he has guests on, and it’s such a calm podcast that I can listen to on commutes! Especially loved his episode with Tim Keller on forgiveness. Thank you for this podcast!! Highly recommend.
  • zerbintheholler
    One of my fave pods
    I have so enjoyed listening to this podcast, and I appreciate the positive perspective that is brought to nearly every topic. I’m going through a season of drought, however, since the streams seem to have dwindled to less than a trickle over the recent months. :(
  • wisdom chaser
    Thoughtful, informed, biblical, engaging
    Russell Moore is one of my favorite and most helpful commentators. He is honest in probing relevant issues without being polemic or mean spirited. He has mastered the art of podcast conversation with both truth and grace.

    Bill McKibben
    Thank you for introducing me to Bill McKibben. I appreciate his insight on climate change and his Godward way of framing it! Also your example (and his) of interacting and even potentially learning from those you might disagree with

  • Travelor Pick
    Listener Questions on Abortion, Salvation and Virtual Church
    I’m a long line admirer of RDM’s thoughts on whatever subject in which he opines. This may be my favorite. Especially the way he dealt with Calvinism and Arminianism and the explanation of what actually takes place in corporate worship and it’s purpose.

    Guest Selection
    I find it wonderful and refreshing for a Christian program to include guest from outside of the faith and guests inside the faith with differing views. I believe we are called to love all people, and we can even learn from those that think differently from us. This podcast shows that this is possible for everyone, including Christians.
  • Dstratts
    Thought provoking

    Thoughtful and Courageous
    Clear, insightful and well-spoken from a biblical perspective. Russell Moore has been a courageous Christian voice during a confusing and contentious period in our country. Thanks for the excellent discussion with Adam Kinzinger, who has also shown real courage and conviction in the political realm - highly recommended!

    Straight Talk in Contentious Culture
    In our contentious cancel culture era where people from various perspectives are tuning out or boycotting people with opposing views and hunkering into silos Russell offers a refreshing conversational podcast with and for people who find themselves in this place between a radical right and a conservative center.

    An oasis
    I’m thankful for Russell Moore’s faithful public witness. This podcast is like an oasis for Christian discussion amid the current cultural mess.
  • C_Shen
    Gray Areas
    I’m emerging from a cocoon of raising children in a pandemic. Didn’t know how angry everyone seemed to be around so many topics since I have no social media. I’m now trying to pick up the pieces and form a picture of where we are today. Dr Moore is also perplexed but is an excellent guide for us to learn how to love our brothers and sisters in Christ steering into, away from, and through these thorny “culture war” topics. I do not solicit people’s opinions when I speak to people in person and yet they share their opinions so freely. My pastor has advised me to weep and pray over these many rifts and to have hope Christ will (and always does) prevail.

    Russell Moore is a great interviewer and approaches all of his conversations with such humility and desire to learn. Exactly the modeling we need in this time.
  • JMD/MDD
    So encouraged by this show!
    Dr. Moore & his guests are a voice of truth and reason in these crazy times. I always come away encouraged and hopeful!
  • Robbie Crewfan
    So helpful
    Dr. Moore is so often a voice for loving, biblical, gospel-oriented thoughtfulness.
  • NebuchadnezzarBelshazzar
    👎
    The January 6 storming on the Capitol was wrong, and an affront to democracy. But equating it to 9/11 is wicked. Scores of lives were lost and hundreds of families devastated as a result. It’s an insult to the 9/11 victims to compare it to the January 6 riots.
  • WexfordPrairie
    Thank you for this…
    I am immensely thankful for Russell Moore and those who work with him for providing a space for intelligent, open and often challenging discussions. In a time where disrespect for others seems to reign, opportunities to hear thoughtful discourse about challenging topics are tremendously appreciated.
  • Smith-Mac
    Andrew Peterson interview
    Thank you Russell and Andrew for such an enjoyable and encouraging interview. Also, thank you Russell for a great podcast in general. Keep up the thoughtful show and great guests. May God Bless you and your family during 2022 - Sharon Smith, Memphis, TN

    You can’t have a better guest than Andrew Peterson but the real coup was to wangle the interview in The Chapter House! I could hear the fire crackling !
  • SeekingShalom
    Refreshing and Relevant
    Gracious and humble, intelligent and discerning, Russell Moore’s new podcast is a breath of fresh air bringing information and insight to the questions Christians share in this day and age.
  • Jasonk98
    Instructive and unique- even in Christian circles
    I’m thankful for Dr. Moore’s ministry and in particular how thoughtfully he addresses issues. I’m most grateful for the “tell me where I’m wrong” segments. In a time where disagreement in the church is seen as division and disagreement in the culture at large is seen as hostility, it is refreshing to see how Dr. Moore can cordially and respectfully discuss topics with guests. May we all learn to listen to others with as much patience and respect.
  • homeschool mom of 6
    Something new
    I absolutely love this new podcast. I especially love the “tell me where I’m wrong” series. I appreciate the way guests are treated with honor and an example is set for how we can respectfully disagree. This is breath of fresh air in this combative world.
  • Willy Dale
    Jesus and John Wayne
    Excellent conversation and thanks Kristin for framing the evolving definition of evangelicals … unfortunately it is how society, news, and politics have re-defined that “tribe” with which I once self identified. Now, I almost violently distance myself, electing to be known as “mere Christian” (thx C.S.). As my mother-in-law says, I really am unhappy that some words can no longer be used because now they define groups rather than their original intent.
  • Lwasko
    Jesus and John Wayne
    Fantastic listen. Modeling charitable discussion and real listening.
  • James Veverka
    Sound thinking, Christ like heart
    I have only listen to a few episodes. I’m a big fan of Russell Moore. He is a person I enjoy listening to, even if I disagree with him. I find myself in a very confusing time. I’m glad for this voice of reason.
  • Grateful Hearer
    Sanity!
    Praise God for the maturity, wisdom, dignity, respect and goodness found here! SO lacking in the Body, yet SO needed! Thank you.
