BEST OF: A Conversation with Andrew Peterson

The Russell Moore Show

Show Notes

An early conversation with one of our favorite guests.

This “Best of” episode is from the first few years of this show’s existence–back when it was called Signposts–with a guest we’ve had on many times since, Andrew Peterson. The conversation was recorded in 2016 (without cameras, so you won’t be able to watch this one on YouTube) in front of a live audience. You’ll hear shifting in seats, coughing, and even the sound of soda cans being opened.

The conversation wasn’t centered on a new book or new music or some new project, it was just an agendaless exchange about creating art from seasons of darkness, Buechner (par for the course with Russell and Andrew), burnout in leadership, marriage, and more.

Take a seat, grab a Diet Coke, and enjoy this conversation with Andrew Peterson.

From the Moore to the Point newsletter: We ought to look around at places without keg parties or ketamine hits and ask where our own sense of solidarity is real and where it’s just another prelude to a coverup.

What would we learn if we listened to the people who have left our churches?

Maybe the way to speak with clarity into a loud and angry age starts with learning when not to speak at all.
