Welcome to the conversations that matter of

podcast I'm your host John Harris here to address these southern

Baptists in the audience that's right more content on the southern Baptist

convention you asked for it and I delivered actually.

I don't know if you asked for it.

I think probably 50% I'm just guessing this is a gut feeling of my audience is Southern Baptist.

That is my guess. I could be wrong on that. It's interesting because when I get

invited to speak at churches, it is rarely ever a southern Baptist church. But I think a lot of the

pew sitters in those churches listen to this podcast. It's just a really interesting

dynamic. But the Southern Baptist Convention is coming up in June and many have

asked me to talk about the candidates who are running for the presidency of the convention.

I do have some thoughts on it and I thought maybe a good way to break into this and I may have

more episodes in the future on it but a good way to start talking about it is to go through some clips from an

SBC presidential candidate forum that was just held recently And I think that a lot of the topics, well the major

topics were brought up that people are contending over. And it's interesting to see the way that these topics were handled by the three candidates.

And so I just want to spend some time with you.

We'll probably do one episode I'm hoping.

I might summarize some things because I don't want to go more than one if if I can avoid it

And we'll just talk about where the candidates stand according to what they said in this public forum on

Critical Race Theory and the Church 2 movement, they didn't use that term, but that's the popular term, and accountability and some of the things that you all who are listening to this podcast are concerned about.

So let's talk about that.

Let's go to that.
