Leave a comment in Spotify with your feedback on the discussion—we may even respond! ABOUT THE GUEST:  Krista Tippett is a Peabody Award–winning broadcaster, a National Humanities Medalist, and a New York Times bestselling author. She grew up in a small town in Oklahoma, attended Brown University, and became a journalist and diplomat in Cold War Berlin. After studying theology at Yale Divinity School in the early 1990s, she saw a black hole where intelligent public conversation about the religious, spiritual, and moral aspects of human life might be. She pitched and piloted her idea for several years before launching Speaking of Faith—later On Being—as a weekly national public radio show in 2003. What launched on two radio stations grew to over 400 across the US and has received the highest honors in broadcasting, the internet, and podcasting. She has published three books: Becoming Wise: An Inquiry into the Mystery and Art of Living, Einstein’s God, and Speaking of Faith, a memoir of religion in our time. ABOUT THE BULLETIN: The Bulletin is a weekly (and sometimes more!) current events show from Christianity Today hosted and moderated by Clarissa Moll, with senior commentary from Russell Moore (Christianity Today’s editor in chief) and Mike Cosper (director, CT Media). Each week, the show explores current events and breaking news and shares a Christian perspective on issues that are shaping our world. We also offer special one-on-one conversations with writers, artists, and thought leaders whose impact on the world brings important significance to a Christian worldview, like Bono, Sharon McMahon, Harrison Scott Key, Frank Bruni, and more.
