Long before before being called to lead it on the Dead Men Walking Podcast back in July of 2021.

- Okay, let's move on to the second story. I pulled this from CNN because we love garbage headlines And that's what
- 00:05
- CNN gives us because they always give us something slanted because they're supposedly pure journalism But let's see Southern Baptist Convention can dodge a schism, but not its own history.
- 00:14
- Ooh, where's our where's our? We got a job for it I'm just gonna read the first paragraph or two because I can't stomach the rest the
- 00:24
- Southern Baptist Convention in Nashville this week nearly elected A less hardline leader in Ed Litton But don't be fooled this meeting largely confirmed that the victory of what the
- 00:33
- SBC calls the conservative resurgence of the 1980s Endures so CNN's kind of playing both sides are saying well, we think they got a more moderate leader
- 00:41
- But they're also the the conservatism is enduring. We weren't there. I'm not part of the SBC.
- 00:47
- We follow it closely I obviously as the largest denomination Protestant denomination in the United States. I know pastor
- 00:52
- Tom was there Do you have any comments and and we I've been following Rod Martin who's been on the Online Thank You Rod Come back on anytime
- 01:13
- But so pastor, what was your thoughts on that being down in at the convention last weekend?
- 01:19
- Yeah, well, I mean I think that CNN headline and what you read perfectly illustrates the folly of so many who are
- 01:27
- Trying to lead the SBC right now in thinking that you can appease the world
- 01:32
- If we heard it once we heard it ten times during the convention. The world is watching the world is watching
- 01:38
- You know, we've got to be nice. Don't don't say these divisive things. The world is watching and it's like we've forgotten
- 01:43
- There's a God in heaven and he is watching too. And so CNN, you know
- 01:49
- We want to come across nice to CNN. There's just no way there's no way because they're operating off of a completely different Understanding of the world they deny the
- 01:59
- God who created the world They are opposed to God and anything God says
- 02:04
- I've watched a couple of these little talking heads off See CNN over the last few days
- 02:10
- Regarding the SBC and it's hilarious to me. Some of them are trying to actually do theology
- 02:17
- In this quoting Bible verses and I just want to respond to they look guys I will not try to do fake journalism if you will try
- 02:27
- Disappointed that some of our SBC leaders are buying into that and they're just being played by that They think they can placate the world.
