Welcome to the conversations that matter

podcast. My name is John Harris. The theme for today's episode is

fighting back in full speed ahead. Evangelical elites, especially

Southern Baptist in the last few weeks have employed a new range of tactics

in responding to so-called discernment blogs even people like myself who make videos

for my wife's laundry room responding in part to social justice infiltration and evangelicalism.

And the irony of this whole thing is they become more aggressive

but yet they are the ones in every case who hold more privilege as far as denominational positions,

seminary professorships, all the bells and whistles that come with being part of these institutions.

They get the paycheck that comes along with it and yet they're very adamant right now about

stomping out any kind of resistance against the social justice movement

that they are involved in and employing and introducing to these institutions.

So I think we can have a good laugh about that in a way, but it's also sad because it's so

contradictory. And I think it's important for us to know how to identify and respond to the new

tactics that are being used and look this is a

food fight and these these tactics will continue to be used and the heat will

really be turned up I think it's things are going to get ugly before the Southern Baptist

Convention this year. So let's just be mindful and let's do it with a cheerful

disposition. We know Christ is our Lord and I need to remind myself of this because it can get discouraging out there sometimes, but Jesus is king and we are fighting for timeless values, the sufficiency of scripture, the DNA of of repentance all the doctrines that the social

justice religion because that's what it is challenge we are standing in opposition to

that movement in favor of something it we are positive we are in favor of biblical Christianity and as it's been

Orthodox for the past 2,000 years. So that's what we want to do. And so I'm looking forward to showing you some of these examples that I'm speaking about and getting into the nitty gritty also.
