Summary

Today we're talking all things revolving around the Baptist church. Popular Southern Baptist pastor Matt Chandler announced over the weekend that he's temporarily stepping down from his role as lead pastor of his church in the aftermath of an inappropriate online relationship. We discuss his impact on the church during his rise in popularity and why this seems to be a good example of how a church should discipline pastors. This comes at the same time that the Department of Justice investigates the Southern Baptist Convention. We take a look at this and ask the question: Is this investigation legitimate? Then, we discuss a recent Presbyterian podcast in which one contributor claimed Baptist theology caused transgenderism. We finish off with a quick comparison between Baptist theology and Presbyterian theology. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs — all subscriptions are month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime!

0:05.5	Popular Southern Baptist pastor Matt Chandler announced over the weekend that he is temporarily
0:11.1	stepping down from his role as lead pastor of his church because of an inappropriate

0:46.9	Hey y'all welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. All right. So as you could tell from the
1:01.8	introduction, we are taking a break from news and politics and we are talking about things that

1:28.8	conservatives and really kind of all Americans because it's such an influential and politically
1:33.6	active denomination. It's important for everyone to kind of understand the direction it's going,
1:39.4	what's happening with its leaders. So I first want to talk about this Matt Chandler story. I will
1:47.3	just summarize what happened and then I'll kind of give my personal reaction to it. Matt Chandler,
1:52.1	if you don't know, he's the lead pastor of teaching at the village church in Flower Mountain, Texas.
1:58.3	That's a suburb of Dallas. He is the president of the act 29 network, which is a global church
