The Killing of Alex Pretti, Board of Peace, Ted Cruz Tapes, and The Body God Gives
The Bulletin
Outro
Hosts close the episode, thank Robert Smith, and invite listeners to follow The Bulletin and leave a review.
On Saturday, a US Customs and Border Patrol agent shot nurse Alex Pretti in the street after he stepped between a woman and the ICE agent who was pepper spraying her. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, President Trump announced his new Board of Peace to rebuild Gaza. And on Sunday, recordings of Senator Ted Cruz were leaked to the press, distancing himself from potential GOP presidential contenders in 2028. Mike Cosper and Clarissa Moll discuss these headlines, and Mike sits down with Robert Smith, author of the book The Body God Gives (recipient of Christianity Today’s Book of the Year Award of Merit), to discuss a biblical response to transgender theory.
