Russell Moore

Russell Moore is Editor-in-Chief of Christianity Today. His new book is Losing Our Religion: An Altar Call for Evangelical America. He invites unmoored and discouraged Christians to step into an uncertain future, letting go of the kind of culture-warring, politicized Christianity that has led us to this moment of reckoning. In Losing Our Religion, Dr. Moore shows how we might steer clear of both cynicism and complicity in order to imagine a different, hopeful vision for the church.Support the show: https://therabbitroom.givingfuel.com/memberSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hometown Stories: California!

Conversations with writers about writing, hosted by Jonathan Rogers.

Jonathan Rogers is excellent at helping listeners get practical and inspirational advice from the writers he interviews. Besides the interesting practical peek behind their writing curtain, he is not afraid to ask questions about how they made hard choices about what to write and for whom to write. The wide diversity of writing styles and purposes these writers represent is encouragement that somewhere amidst so many, there is a way for my own writing voice to find a place. Thank you.

Good for both the mind and the soul

The Habit features a distinguished and diverse cast of writers: academic writers, writers on the spiritual life, novelists, songwriters, playwrights. Each episode is as unique as that week&#39;s guest. The show&#39;s one constant is Jonathan Rogers, who is both genial and incisive as an interviewer. He asks open-ended but probing questions that draw out the distinct personalities of the writers, conducts the interviews with economy, and generally does everything to feature his guests rather than himself. The Habit invariably informs and delights me. I look forward to listening to it every week.

Always a delightful listen
