Exclusive Dead Men Walking Podcast: Tom Ascol was ready to lead the SBC back in July 2021

Okay, let's move on to the second story. I pulled this from CNN because we love garbage headlines And that's what

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.

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

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

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

But they're also the the conservatism is enduring. We weren't there. I'm not part of the SBC.

We follow it closely I obviously as the largest denomination Protestant denomination in the United States. I know pastor

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

But so pastor, what was your thoughts on that being down in at the convention last weekend?

Yeah, well, I mean I think that CNN headline and what you read perfectly illustrates the folly of so many who are

Trying to lead the SBC right now in thinking that you can appease the world

If we heard it once we heard it ten times during the convention. The world is watching the world is watching

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

There's a God in heaven and he is watching too. And so CNN, you know

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

God who created the world They are opposed to God and anything God says

I've watched a couple of these little talking heads off See CNN over the last few days

Regarding the SBC and it's hilarious to me. Some of them are trying to actually do theology

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

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.
