For the last year I’ve tuned in to The Bulletin, grateful to have found voices informed by Christianity to help digest and guide listeners through some of the real social and political complexity we face today. When Mike Cosper left the show I was gutted - he was such an essential part of the conversations and a thoughtful and clear headed interlocutor. But now without Clarissa Moll to host I truly wonder what will become of this program. I hope there is a future for The Bulletin. It has been a huge blessing to me.

I was sad to see Mike Cosper go and now I’m sad that Clarissa Moll is also leaving. I have loved listening to this podcast for the last 5 years. Mike, Clarissa, Russel, and Nicole have been welcome voices from my truck speakers reminding me that there are people in the world who haven’t gone crazy. I hope the podcast continues to speak truth from a Christian perspective and whoever the new hosts are have the same wisdom and candor as past hosts.

This podcast encourages me that there are still good people of integrity in the world.

Solid facts, hope, and a Christian perspective. It’s so hard to find all of those things in one place these days, and especially when handling political information! The Bulletin was recommended to me by my brother at a time when I felt like I had lost my footing as a conservative Christian who no longer identifies with the GOP and listening made me feel sane again.

I really enjoy listening to the expert guests. I just need thoughtfulness and The Bulletin does that.

I’ve been very grateful for the Bulletin’s wise and Christ-centered perspective, especially over the last few years as the discourse around American politics, antisemitism and Israel has gotten increasingly toxic. Thank you to Mike Cosper for his wonderful work and reporting.

Simply put, it’s sanity amidst insanity.

As a follower of Jesus, I appreciate you speaking the truth of the gospel as it relates to what is happening around the world. It is so refreshing to hear the truth spoken boldly and unapologetically. Thank you.

Mike, thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to journalism with integrity and thoughtfulness. Wish you the very best in your next venture.

I appreciate hearing thoughtful Christ followers offer viewpoints on current issues each week. Especially Russell Moore’s well thought perspectives are a relief to hear, and Clarissa Moll’s questions and contexts are carefully crafted and well placed. Solidly politically center-right—all of the reviewers calling this a liberal or leftist podcast must use those labels for anyone who doesn’t bend the knee to MAGA.

Not sure where else to send feedback, so I thought I would do it here. I’ll update my review if I see changes. You just ran an ad from Meta about Instagram team accounts. It landed right before the story about the $3 million lawsuit against Meta. To me, this is somewhere between ironic, tone deaf, and upsetting. I’m confident you would not run ads from porn hub about teen safe romance influencers or from American tobacco about teen smoking smoking products that are not as addictive. My point is you would draw the line somewhere. Is it time to start drawing the line on Meta? How much money are they giving you for those ads, and is it worth communicating to Christian parents that these team accounts are good and safe? Secondly, I would like to see more balance in your guests, and perhaps some good faith debates. For instance, when you bring on an intelligent intellectual, like David French, consider bringing someone who disagrees with him to provide different viewpoints. I really do enjoy the show, and it makes me think. I would just like to see more balance, and even some honest debates. What if your podcast could be a Christian version of something like Honestly from the Free Press? Thank you for what you’re doing. Thank you for your commitment to Christ and to quality journalism. Thanks for taking the time to read these comments.

Love how informative this podcast is and how they thoughtfully apply Biblically principles to their conversations.

Some of the worst takes on any podcast I’ve ever heard. The most democratic partisan takes masquerading as “faithful Christianity” aimed at 50+ year olds who are out of touch with culture and society, as well as the current state of evangelicalism. Looking at specks in culture and society and the church while ignoring the log in their own eye. They pick and choose what to talk about which is usually something trivial and meaningless and FAIL to talk about the larger more important at issues. They are masters at this. And it is utterly exhausting to listen to. Do better. Billy Graham would be ashamed of what this magazine has become. When led by Mike Cosper and Russell Moore however, it’s par for the course.

I am so thankful I found you! After many years of reading World magazine and then it shifting worldviews, I did not know where to turn for news that I felt was reliable. I trust Christianity Today, which was part of my life growing up, and now is my mainstay for current news along with the New York Times. (They do have wordle.) I love the interviews and commentary on this podcast! I could hear from you daily and be very happy!😊

I don’t agree with all of your viewpoints and insights but they usually make me think. The comments regarding Marco Rubio are just a stretch too far. Or, we were listening to different speeches. You would never guess by his speech that his parents fled persecution Cuba.

My top news podcast! I love the gentleness of hosts and the attempt to present a truthful yet gracious stance on the news of the week. A blessing for my ears and mind.

I really enjoy the bulletin, it gives just enough of the week’s events without being too wordy like a lot of pods out there. I think a lot of the negative reviews are misguided, and written by folks who aren’t willing to be open minded, and misconstrue a moderate viewpoint for a left wing one. People wait for the first hint of something they disagree with and then rate something negatively. This is no way to take in news.

Refreshing to hear about current events and Biblical views from this team. Listening to other news outlets always leaves me feeling hopeless, angry and stressed, but The Bulletin has found a way to shine brighter in the darkness during these difficult times.

Solid Thinking I didn’t even know there was another podcast from CT. I love the one from Russell Moore and now will follow this. As a devout Catholic I follow the deep thoughts of our new Pope and the deep thoughts of our Protestant brethren.

This podcast is occasionally enlightening and the one star I gave goes to Mike Cosper for being a good host. I just listened to the Jan 6, 2026 episode about the deposing of the dictator (not president) of Venezuela and man was it tone deaf. It might help if you did a follow-up episode with at least one guest who isn’t a sworn enemy of the sitting President of the United States. CT is more and more becoming just another arm of the Democrat controlled left-wing media. So disappointing to see Billy Graham’s legacy tarnished in this way. It’s really shameful.

This Podcast helps me think as a Christian about major events and contemplate them with a Christian lens.

Although a CT subscriber, the 2025 episode was my first listen to The Bulletin. The discussion of light, darkness, and hope deeply resonated. I look forward to your content in 2026, helping me reflect, reframe, and respond from a biblical perspective.

Thank you for your clear and concise wisdom related to current events. Very much appreciated!

I’m a weekly listener and deeply appreciate their updates and commentary on what’s happening in the world. The show is firmly grounded in the truths of Scripture. As a young professional who listens to a wide range of both secular and Christian podcasts, I’m consistently struck by how, even when the headlines are heavy, the show will leave you with the hope of Gospel.

Would love to hear Peter Beinart on your show discussing his book: Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza. It would be great if you gave another view some airtime.

I’m a non MAGA Conservative. They are not. I won’t compromise and follow or vote for the Democratic Party just because I don’t like the current republicans. I look at the policies and pick those that most closely align with a true biblical stance. This podcast is nothing more than a progressive, leftist ideology masquerading as Christian Conservative.

We’re done with “The Bulletin”. Appointing Nicole Martin as President/CEO was the last straw. With her biased focus, the show will unfortunately be unable to maintain any sense of balance. Thanks for the memories.

You cannot baptize evil though you may try. Where are you today Christianity?

I gave one star because I am hopeful the remainder or the episode improved but I turned it off during the justification of the pomp and circumstance for MBS. While some may hope this effort on behalf of the US was to court Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, many more realize it was likely an effort to further the Saudi’s investment in Trump’s crypto scheme. It was a disgusting acquiescence to a brutal murderer.

Incredibly moving piece. By the end of the show I was crying. Thank you for opening my eyes!

Although I donot agree with all of CT’s opinions/ views. I can ALWAYS know they come from a stance of truth; humbleness and desire to follow Christ before everyone else.

I look forward to every episode of the bulletin. I find the content very helpful and relevant, and I enjoy the kind and supportive relationships of the podcasters and the dignity with which they treat their guests.

It’s a high-quality program that takes the necessary step beyond the headlines, and asks, how should Christians be thinking about the things we see happening in the world each day? Not to imply that the way they answer the question is the right way per se, but to ask a question in the first place is valuable for the Christian.

We listen to The Bulletin faithfully each week to help us reflect on how followers of Jesus can provide witness in the complicated issues facing our country and our world. Thanks for helping us navigate difficult times.

The Bulletin provides thoughtful discussion on current events and I am grateful! I appreciate the awareness you bring to issues and the invitation to be more than a cultural spectator. I also wish y’all could release more than 2 episodes a week! Thank you for the work you do and may God bless you all!

I enjoyed listening to Russell Moore but Mike Cosper’s interest in excusing Israel’s political leaders, no matter how many innocent women and children are killed and starved in Gaza, caused me to unfollow this podcast. Listen to The Russell Moore Show instead.

The talking points come across as leftist. Couldn’t listen through one podcast. Bye

The Bulletin is a bright spot on the internet, highlighting news stories that concern all people, while also being a beacon of hope. Their thoughtful approach, looking through the lens of scripture, is refreshing and honest. I always look forward to hearing their take on current events. Thank you, CT!

After listening to the long form of the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, I stumbled into more of CT’s shows including the Bulletin. It’s now become a staple in my weekly routine. I deeply appreciate the thoughtful journalism as well as practical discussions of ‘How Christians should respond’ that I think creates an accountability and push for agency. In this most recent episode I really enjoyed the discussion of this theme of warrior/servant and the intersection of the two. I look forward and hope for a continued dialogue around it. Thank you CT.

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 belief in one G-d who promises as much, who is not everyone’s G-d does not justify oppressive colonialism. This is the one topic where the producers never bring a topic not in line with Michael’s. Would love to see a broader panel of commentators and voices!

Until Cosper tried to excuse Brian Kilmead’s call to euthanize the homeless on the 9/16 episode.

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 wanting to write a letter to the editor pointing out the thinking errors and factual inaccuracies that are frankly rooted in ignorance and lack of relevant expertise. Their commitment to specific positions on Israel, Ukraine, abortion, etc. really limits their ability to engage in sincere and open discourse. Even when I agree with some of their conclusions, the path taken to get there is infuriatingly riddled by cherry-picked facts. This isn’t journalism, it’s partisan commentary with the veneer of commitment to Biblical truth. They could remedy this by having on actual experts, which they do on occasion, but the logic by which they are selected is confusing and the conversation is always carefully steered toward the right conclusion. Case in point: Why invite a pastor to speak about violence in Chicago and choose a person who doesn’t even live in Chicago, but in the suburbs!? Wild.

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 a disappointment.

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 than those who host it, and that’s absolutely fine. My favorite part about the show is the lengthy, thoughtful discussion between my wife, with whom I also have disagreements, and I that follows each episode And I must say: specifically Russell Moore’s comments often, while I’m not always aligned, genuinely refresh my heart and spirit for evangelicalism, which I feel has become like a crazy uncle to me in recent years.

In my opinion, Mr. French has lost a tremendous amount of credibility after his very public promotion of choosing to vote for KH and his mental gymnastics and what felt like desperate reasoning and compromise, therein. It was totally counter to his "character commiserate to the office they are seeking" qualification and stance. Since then, I have listened to him on Holy Post, The Dispatch, and today's Bulletin episode. Biased and/or reactive drivel, frequently proven incorrect within short order. Today, I stopped listening within five minutes of his whole Maga big Epstein little Epstein conspiracy theory theorizing presented in a way as if to imply one must be conspiracy minded or extremist right MAGA for this issue to be of concern. Ridiculous. In my opinion, although he has windows of insight, the only platforms he has remaining and consistent credibility are Advisory Opinions and Good Faith. On those two podcasts, his input and insight has a grounded and or returning ring of substance and truth, with increasing glimpses of humility.

The Bulletin has quickly become one our my “go to” podcasts. They cover current cultural events from a thoughtful perspective. A wonderful tone compared to other Christian podcasts. Clarissa Moll is a winsome and skilled interviewer and the discussions on The Bulletin are intelligent and faith filled and yet willing to ask the hard questions and call out the extremist views in many evangelical streams.

I have been a huge fan of Christianity Today from the days of ‘Quick To Listen’ almost a decade ago. I have always appreciated the ability to talk about current issues from a Christian-centered lens. That being said, I am concerned of the apparent bias towards Israel, for a program that is unequivocal about what’s right and wrong, the tendency to rationalize or excuse Israel’s conduct regarding the Gaza war is extremely concerning. It would be refreshing to have a Palestinian voices since they are the vulnerable group in this war. All in all, I appreciate this program and hope it can continue to be a valued resource for Christian insights on social and political issues

The Bulletin makes me feel less alone as a politically homeless Christian. I appreciate the commentary that doesn’t toe the party line for either side.

Completely a liberal infected Christianity. Do not listen to the propaganda.

It’s a shame Christianity Today is Christian in name only. Pandering to the lefts agenda is this podcast’s clear objective. They are definitely not seeking godliness. And Russell Moore may be one of the most disingenuous, untrustworthy people I have heard.
