Welcome to the conversations that Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. Things do not slow down.

You know, I was planning on taking a little break from the podcast for two weeks, working

on some final papers for the graduate program

I'm in and it's not going to happen.

I woke up this morning, I thought, man, there's a few things I really need to address.

And so some of them I'm addressed kind of briefly.

I was asked to talk about

Mercy Wars comments at the National Immigration Forum, which was I think like a week and a half

ago now, and then the statement that came out of the evangelical immigration table,

and I will talk about that a little bit but there's some really crazy stuff coming out of southwestern Baptist theological seminary lately and there really needs to be more I think investigative journalism I'm going to just

show you what's publicly available as for that I'm aware of and then I'm going to

let you kind of make your own conclusions and and the story I think is going to be developing

but there's some stuff going on that just something's not right and you'll

you understand what I mean when I get to it a couple other smaller items

interspersed throughout the discussion today and then

last but not least I am going to show you a big portion actually of a speech that

I gave at the Stand Against Marxism conference about a month ago in Iowa.

Now I haven't been given permission to give you the whole video or obviously the whole conference,

but it is $19.84 if you want to purchase that video.

And if you become a patron of mine,

like even for a dollar a month,

you can become a patron of mine for $12 a year
