Andy Crouch on Why Technology Can’t Cure Loneliness

What if the thing we're craving most isn't more control over our lives, but deeper connection with other people? As Russell takes some time away with his family this summer, we're revisiting a conversation that feels even more relevant now than when it first aired in 2022. Back then, Russell sat down with Andy Crouch to discuss technology, smartphones, social media, and Andy's book The Life We're Looking For. Listening again today, it's hard not to hear something deeper..this isn't only a conversation about screens, but about what it means to be human. Andy argues that many of us have accepted a trade we never consciously chose: more convenience in exchange for less presence, more control in exchange for less connection, more power in exchange for less personhood. Together, he and Russell explore why so many people feel unseen in an age of constant communication, why children often recognize our technological addictions before we do, and how the church can recover a vision of life rooted not in efficiency, but in relationships. This conversation asks: “What is the life we're actually looking for?” And in a moment when many of us feel exhausted by the digital world we've built around ourselves, Andy offers a hopeful answer.

David French on the Last Ten Years

What would the Russell Moore and David French of 2026 say to their 2016 selves? Watch this conversation on YouTube Our friend David French joins for a look back on what has changed since 2016 in American politics and American evangelicalism. Russell and David examine the influence of Pentecostalism, prosperity theology, church-growth culture, the missional movement, and New Calvinism, and how Donald Trump was emboldened by the culture they’ve cultivated. They wrestle with questions of power, certainty, leadership, gender, and why political identity has increasingly become a defining force within many Christian communities. At risk of living only in the past, Russell and David also consider the future. They debate the coming impact of artificial intelligence on law, politics, and society, reflect on whether America’s current culture of cynicism and tribalism can correct itself, and share what they hope future generations will say about this era. Ultimately, the two ask whether renewal is still possible—for the church, for the country, and for a public life. Can we engage in building a culture shaped less by power and fear, but rather character, truth, and neighborly love? Plus: What if David French had run for president in 2016?

State of Emergency

Church planting isn’t for the faint of heart. It requires a tenacity few pastors can fully anticipate when they set out. Healthy planting demands not only clarity of mission and relentless work, but practical partnership, wise counsel, and responsive governance to the changing needs that come with growth. From the church’s beginning, Mars Hill leadership committed to all of these -- a vision of Jesus as senior pastor with elders serving with “one vote each.” But somewhere along the line, the vision shifted. Absolutism and a muscular, aggressive form of governance took hold, a campaign led by Mark Driscoll in the name of church growth. In this episode of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, host Mike Cosper pulls back the curtain to expose the inner workings of church governance at Mars Hill. Guided by careful research and hundreds of hours of interviews, Cosper plots out a story of church growth corrupted by power. Discover a Mark Driscoll you may never have met -- a young church planter with a vision for Seattle and for the world. Watch what happens when the friction between accountability and speed causes church planting efforts to combust. And see how prioritizing “reaching people for Jesus” can mask spiritual abuse without the proper checks and balances. “The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill” is a production of Christianity Today Executive Producer: Erik Petrik Producer, Writer, Editor, and Host: Mike Cosper Associate Producer: Joy Beth Smith Music, Sound Design, and Mix Engineer: Kate Siefker Graphic Design: Bryan Todd Social Media: Nicole Shanks Editorial Consultant: Andrea Palpant Dilley Editor in Chief: Timothy Dalrymple Theme song: “Sticks and Stones” by Kings Kaleidoscope Closing song: "Return My Heart to My Chest" by Joe Day Learn more about your ad choices.

Tribalism, Cancel Culture, and Loving the Enemy

This week, Maine’s Graham Platner won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate despite having a Nazi tattoo on his chest and recent relationship scandals surface from his past. As well, Texas’s Ken Paxton won the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, while having allegations of infidelity and securities fraud. How did these people gain popularity with voters and within their parties? This week on The Bulletin’s summer programming we look at segments that have to do with how tribalism has become ingrained in how we navigate the world, including our church, and what happens when someone steps outside of the lines of their group. The episode includes conversations with New York Times journalist Frank Bruni about his book The Age of Grievance, Mockingcast’s David Zahl about an incident in which David French was cancelled from a polarization panel, and Sharon McMahon about how to view others you disagree with.
