Our Bizarro New World Where Russell Moore Is a ‘Liberal’ + Russell Moore

Katelyn and Roxy talk to Moore about why he left the SBC, how he thinks of his own legacy there, and trying to lead a Christian institution when it’s tearing apart at the seams.




And if Russell Moore is a liberal, then what the heck are we?

Our first guest for season six has us thinking about institutions. An exciting lead for a season opener, you say? It is! In part because this guest now leads an institution, Christianity Today, that both Katelyn and Roxy have some history with. But, not too long ago, he was an SBC bigwig — the president of its Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission — before, well, a lot of things went down. In 2015 … and 2016 … and pretty much every year after that. Check out our extensive coverage at RNS if you somehow missed it all and are curious.

On this episode, we talk to Moore about why he left the SBC in 2021; how he thinks of his own legacy in that world, including the question of complicity; and trying to lead a Christian institution when it’s tearing apart at the seams.
