Welcome to the conversationsations that Matter Podcast. My name is John Harris. We are

going to talk today a little bit about the crisis over women pastors and

preaching in the Southern Baptist Convention. I think it's going to be one of the

things you're going to want to know about when you go into the Convention if you are

a messenger this year in June. But if not, I think it's still interesting to see

kind of the cracks that are taking place in the

foundation right now because I realize some of you listening your

denomination may allow for women preaching or women pastors or something similar

to that but here's the thing if you're in the Southern Baptist

Convention these issues have been defined and I if you do a search on my

YouTube channel page you'll find I've given my position on this as well so I'm not going to

go through all the scripture or anything like that. I'm more want to talk about the

politics of this because it's interesting to me. cracks are in the foundation, clearly, people are disregarding what the

Baptist faith message says, churches are, and this is happening it seems like more and more and

more and people are becoming more brazen about it.

And Al Moler, who has let so many things happen on the, in regards to critical race theory

and in some ways also the normalization of

homosexuality etc. This is the one issue it seems like he has been fairly consistent on now I know before he took charge of southern

seminary when he was a young man he was more egalitarian and he's he switched and that surprised people

when he became the president of Southern but

but since that point he's been this is one of the issues I think he's he's gonna come out hard for the conservatives on this.

And I don't, I can't get inside his head.
