Hey everyone welcome once again to the Conversations that matter

podcast I'm your host John Harris as always want to talk about a bunch of

stuff it's kind of some unrelated things in a way I guess so there's not like a

common thread today but I want to talk about

Todd Banquet and his appointment to the sexual abuse task force in the

Southern Baptist Convention so some Southern Baptist news for all of you I know some of you are turning it off right now. I don't

want to hear about that denomination. Well, that's not all there is though. We're talking about

Marvin Alaski, who wrote The Tragedy of American Compassion, I believe. He was the one that I think helped craft

George W Bush's compassionate conservatism but more recently he was the the

chief editor at World magazine and the New York Times has a take on him that is much different than I think the reality.

And so I want to, I just want to show you kind of what's being said.

There's some things that came out about him recently and then Glen Youngkin, Governor of Virginia, I just want to, since I did kind of take a stand against Glen

Youngkin in the primaries in Virginia, I wanted to let you know kind of where in some ways on social issues especially where things

ended up because Christians in Virginia voted for him on the basis of well he says

he's a good Christian he speaks the language we have got to be way better at vetting. We have got to be way

better at researching our candidates. If we spent, if you spent like half an hour online

or less, and I realize not everyone has that time, but even 10 minutes of just doing some research on Glenn Young can. I think you'd find, wait a minute, does this add up?

And unfortunately, a lot of the things that I said are coming true. A lot of the things that I

warned about are happening. So it's an example. So anyway let's start here. I'm going to

start by playing a video for you.

Todd Benkertz is with SBC Voices.

And it's an outlet, I would say more to the left in the SBC for sure.
