Been listening for years and will continue to listen for many more. Only complaint is that Al’s volume needs to be turned up. Intro music is loud but Al is quiet. Then when my next podcast comes on it blows my ears out. lol.

Greedy, godless Albert Mohler rolls around Louisville in his giant car running his ugly mouth about how terrible everyone is. No Gospel, no Grace, no Great Commission. Just another vengeful old man who doesn't feel great so he's taking it out on us--just like my abusive father. Go swim the Ohio River you godless bigot.

I’ve been a listener of The Briefing for probably about 12 years. Early on it was a fantastic source of news and worldview analysis. But over the last several years, Dr Mohler has mostly turned a blind eye to violations of God’s Kingdom taking place on the Right. Please continue to call out the problems on the Left! But can we at least hold at least the Right to the same standard? (And the Church should be held to an even higher standard!). Signalgate would have been pounced on during the Biden presidency. We’ve heard nothing about it here. Integrity is lacking here, and it could maybe even be corrected by going back and listening to The Briefing circa 2013-2016. As an evangelical Christian who takes the Scriptures and the Kingdom of God very seriously, this podcast is mostly a significant disappointment. It doesn’t have to be this way! I’d recommend the Rebuilders podcast for a much more holistic, Kingdom-minded, Gospel-focused, and hopeful take on what’s happening in our world.

As a evangelical Christian who has followed your ministry for some time, I am deeply concerned about your one-sided criticism and hyper focus on only a few Christian concerns of our age. I take no issue with your criticism of abortion, gender-fluidity, or DEI mandates, however it is quite clear that you only focus on these concerns, neglecting many other weighty matters. It is partisan: sins of the Democratic Party are called out and focused on, with a pronounced absence of those in the Republican camp, except for an occasional soft-ball. But the reality is that the sins being committed by Trump and his loyalists are not little-league—they are destroying and endangering the very fabric of our democracy and world peace. Matt 23:23.

This podcast is the best ever. Dr Mohler covers so many topics. I listen to the Briefing every night before I go to bed. I really enjoy listening to the Briefing. Dr Mohler does a phenomenal job.

Love it ssooo much!! It is helpful to see the world news in a Christian perspective!!❤️❤️

I’ve been listening to this podcast on and off for a few years now. I sometimes enjoy a different perspective on the world news. As someone who was raised Christian, I remain interested in the Christian worldview as it pertains to current events. But at this point in 2025, the extreme political bias is just wild to me. There are massive stories occurring within the Trump administration on a near daily basis and it seems that this podcast is fine with turning a blind eye and not attempting to give an account of the monumental impact the administration’s executive orders are having on people’s lives….unless of course it has to do with the LGBTQ agenda or abortion. Those seem to be the primary stories this podcast covers. If Albert Mohler believes these are the most important issues to cover, so be it, but it does a disservice to the audience to completely ignore other major life-altering world events.

Al Mohler has got to be one of the busiest humans on earth to do a show like this every day and still fulfill all his other leadership roles. Every morning there is thoughtful and relevant content that challenges listeners to think biblically in light of the current news and events. My only complaint is he tends to fixate on certain topics such as abortion and LGBTQ (important issues for sure) but can ignore other stories. This can make listening feel redundant some mornings. However, Overall this show is a real blessing to so many believers!

The Briefing gives me a view of national and world news with a perspective that we never hear on main news outlets. Rather than just being frustrated by some events, I love being reminded that this world indeed is not my eternal home. I should not be surprised when the culture around me is counter to God’s ways, & I’m helped to respond in truth and in love. Thank you, Dr. Mohler!

Ok, two things 1#God bless you your news coverage is amazing. 2# this is the greatest podcast in history I’ve never listened to a better podcast

I’ve been listening to The Briefing off and on over the last several years, primarily to see if I’m missing anything from my “Christian worldview” by listening to Church Politics, Means Morning News, and the mainstream news. The Briefing always disappoints. The “Christian worldview” Dr. M preaches is almost perfectly inline with the Republican Party at every step. Nearly every issue is black and white, with “clear worldview implications,” whether it’s abortion, war, or media coverage. The elites are woke, the feminists are evil, and the Republicans are your flawed but hardy champions. I believe this podcast is misleading, narrow-minded, and heavily extrabiblical, but that’s for you to discern on your own. At a minimum, please seek the whole story from other sources (not WORLD news, also run by Mohler) for issues that really convict you. God bless.

Outstanding coverage of news stories with a great deal of context and depth as needed. Effective communication without the drama of Megyn Kelly or classical repetition of Victor Hansen.

Great podcast. Can get a little into the weeds and repeat the same theme, but very informative and makes you think about your world view.

Extremely informative, well stated and very helpful.

Albert Mohler has been an honest Christian commentator on current events—he unashamedly explains things from a Christian worldview.

Yes personal autonomy only will fade as believers Acts 17:8 (LSB) And they disturbed the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things. Acts 17:11 (LSB) Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. What are we now Free FOR? Salvation of the ones close and revival in great numbers will ever cause the surrender necessary for AUTONOMY to deminish?

I have been listening to this podcast on my way in to work, and it has been refreshing to hear the headlines with the commentary and Christian perspective. I feel calm, informed, and better equipped to pray for relevant situations happening in the world each day. I also truly enjoy the listener questions and Al’s straightforward, Biblically grounded answers. (For example, someone just asked how to properly dispose of an old Bible, which I’ve often wondered about) I’m so grateful for this podcast!

Al Mohler is an excellent source of trustworthy information and insight from a Christian worldview. I listen to The Briefing daily, and usually the second thing in my day.

Dr. Mohler presents the daily news in a scholarly and intellectual way with a Biblical worldview. He is not political, he is Biblical and that is a critical distinction. If a politically conservative person says or does something unbiblical, Dr. Mohler will call that out. I love the historical analysis that Dr. Mohler brings to topics too.

There are 911 calls regarding the pets and such being eaten. Your description of no such proof is simply wrong. Yes there is allot of internet trash regarding this situation. But to make a blanket statement that this is an internet phenomenon is simply incorrect. It is looking more and more as if it is,at least, a real possibility. I do expect some sort of adjustment of your statements on 9/16.

Great podcast!

A must listen! Dr Mohler discusses world events in light of the Gospel!

I’ve listened to Dr. Mohler regularly and I so appreciate his wisdom and helping us view what’s going on in the world with a Christian worldview. I trust his wisdom because it’s always based on the Word of God. Every Christian should view and evaluate politics through the lens of their Christian faith and Dr. Mohler helps you do that.

Dr M is so trustworthy. I believe and trust what he has to say. I start my day with him

Love, listening to Al Mohler, he has such great insights and much detail.

Dr. Mohler discusses news almost as it’s happening from a Biblical worldview. I trust his insight, appreciate his style and recommend listening daily!

I appreciate Mohler’s Bible saturated perspectives. Keep up the consistently challenging work you accomplish each day.

I’ve been listening to The Briefing for many years now and I find Dr. Mohler’s commentary so refreshing, informative, thoughtful, and distinctly Christian. He has a good eye for the most important issues of our day, and has such an organized and clear style that I have enjoyed listening to him on my daily commute or even in the shower! (A high honor, to be sure) Even in the very few times that I have disagreed with one of his conclusions, he is so wise and thoughtful, I have found it hard not to respect how he arrived at his conclusion. I also greatly enjoy his answers to questions on Fridays! He is so genuinely kind and personable to each listener, he presents as a very loveable, virtual, spiritual father. Thanks Dr. Mohler and team for such a quality, daily publication at such a crucial time for Christianity!

Mohler postures himself as an expert on Christian morality but he is eager to abandon Christian principles to push his Republican values.

Even if you are not a Christian, if you want clear, organized, and thematic, yet unscripted, daily commentary on the most important news of our time - analyzed logically and illuminated by history, theology, and philosophy with a story time feel, you've come to the right place.

I have to say that I agree with a lot of the assessments made on this show, however, when it comes to comparing political candidates moral lifestyles, it must be said that we have no idea who is moral or immoral based on the outer man or accusations not proven true. I believe this show has not been fair when discussing accusations against political figures. Accusations are not truth and neither is a pious front. Please make sure that this is said. Thank you! God bless!

This podcast has helped me enormously in thinking through issues from the proper biblical lens.

Listen daily!

The Briefing never disappoints with providing in depth Christian analysis of current events. Dr Mohler is always so well prepared, kind, intelligent and roots all of his views in Scripture.

Great show I really enjoy listening to it!

Of women who elect to terminate a pregnancy left this Christian slack-jawed. The cruelty of that fat drag queen really has consumed the Evangelical movement.

Hi my name is Rilynn. What is Calvinism and do you believe it? also, can you break down the different beliefs like Catholic, Mormonism, etc. also, what are the main ideas of the GOP and Democratic Party. I’m 12 years old and I am home schooled and I go to Classical Conversations in Rocky Mount NC

This podcast heavily relies on Christian principles and applies it to modern ethical issues. This is a podcast every evangelical should listen to! Great stuff!

My favorite podcast! Thank you for your wonderful insights. So helpful as I seek to follow the Lord each day.

We listen to the program on the way to school every morning with my middle school kids and now my high schooler listens on his own. Thank you for the Christian world view.

I was looking for a show that covers important political news, from a Christian worldview, but doesn’t stoop to name calling. Other conservative shows cause me to get angry, and forget to see all people as made in God’s image.

If you like a good and positive start to your day listen to this podcast. It is interesting information and always reflects off the Bible. When I started listening to this I was impressed how intriguing it was. I think that you can really get locked in with the Bible and cool information. It is great for all accessions (especially when your bored) and always consider this podcast.

So thankful for Albert Mohler’s daily analysis of news from a Christian worldview. Excellent, intellectual, historical, biblical … I have learned so much from The Briefing.

Love hearing the daily news and how the Bible says that we should look at these world issues. Totally go into withdrawal when they take their much deserved time off. God bless and keep up the good work!

It was chill kinda confusing though

I’m incredibly thankful for Dr. Mohler and his daily analysis. This podcast has dramatically influenced me.

Dr. Mohler provides daily analysis of the news from a decidedly conservative Christian perspective. He is always well-reasoned and has done his homework for each Briefing. This isn’t just a stream of his thoughts… It is clear he spends time to research each topic and bring deep insight. Very enjoyable.

Thanks for showing me how to think critically as a Christian.

What a great combination of historical analysis and biblical wisdom! Dr. Mohler’s insights into the issues of the day, historical developments, and the worldview implications are such a blessing to understanding the long-term ramifications of daily occurrences in our world. Where else could you find incisive and interesting discussions of the Emmys, the Honeymooners, the Chevron deference employed by our courts, as well as Gaza, Ukraine, other world events all in the course of a typical week for The Briefing. Bravo!

Dr. Mohler, thank you for sharing your insight with us daily. My husband and I turned off the TV news years ago and never looked back. Listening to you, WNG and other Christian news podcasts is an everyday education on world events. We deeply appreciate you... In His name, Patrick and Ellen Campion Spanaway, WA
