The Bulletin

Love’s in Need of Love Today

GOP responses to the Trump verdict, D-Day celebrations, and famine in Sudan.

This week on The Bulletin, Russell Moore and Clarissa Moll welcome Michael Wear back to the show to discuss the GOP’s response to the guilty verdict for former president Donald Trump. Then, historian Kurt Piehler joins to acknowledge the 80th anniversary of D-Day and how World War II affected the Greatest Generation—who are quickly dwindling. Finally, we turn our eyes to the hunger crisis in Sudan amid a violent internal conflict, and ask Eugene Cho how Christians might respond to the need.
