Summary

Pastoral leadership in America is under attack, and Christians need to be aware of what's going on behind the scenes! That's why Daily Wire journalist Megan Basham (https://www.dailywire.com/author/megan-basham) returns to talk more about her book 'Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda (https://a.co/d/5hvn1DF)', which exposes how prominent leaders in our pulpits have adopted policies that are directly opposed to the Christian faith. Megan also exposes their tactics to push these harmful agendas onto unsuspecting churchgoers. Issues discussed include:* Why are some pastors and Christian leaders demanding Christians support debatable positions but are squishy on clear biblical teachings?* Are Christians obligated to vote a certain way on climate change, vaccines, and immigration? * Who are the wolves in the church, and is it okay to call them out publicly?* Which political issues should be debatable, and which ones are the more important matters of the law? * Have well-known pastors like Andy Stanley and Rick Warren made compromises on clear biblical teaching about moral issues?* What are the 'Embrace the Journey' and 'After Party' curriculums, and why should churches refuse to use them? Frank and Megan will discuss all this and more as they continue this important conversation on corruption in the American Church.To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, be sure to join our CrossExamined private community (https://community.crossexamined.org/).
