Hey everyone, welcome to the Conversations That Matter Podcast. My name is

John Harris. I may be doing this podcast in different locations over the next

few weeks depending on where I am and what kind of setup

is available to me. Right now I'm actually staying at my parents house and I'm in their dining room and it's kind of late right now so most of the

houses in bed and so I have a little time to do a short podcast on crew. We've done a few videos about this last week and what's going on

just to bring everyone up to speed. Crew has been going woke over the last few years, really since crew 15, their staff conference.

They were promoting social justice at crew 17 and crew 19.

Many of you know I went through a lot of the crew 19 videos.

That was a conference I watched just about every main session for and man that was a lot.

A lot of social justice, not a lot of gospel.

I think only one speaker I found actually shared even a rudimentary gospel.

But anyway, all that to say, there's been a battle within crew and there was a group of concerned staff members who decided to go to the leadership with their concerns.

They compiled a document that expressed their concerns.

This was not received all that well.

The group was asked to disband essentially,

but then that document was leaked by progressives,

not by the folks in the Concerned Group but by I guess a mole

who had according to a staff member who came out recently who had been part of

the group and they leaked it and so now it's out there and

and so where we're at right now is the Lens's Institute which was one part of crew.

They decided to shut down their North American or their United States.

I'm trying to remember now, I think it's North American office.
