Summary

The Southern Baptist Convention has undermined its moral authority amid America's institutional legitimacy crisis by adopting progressive agendas, including a multimillion-dollar #MeToo alliance costing over $13 million—featuring the Guidepost investigation—that led to selling its headquarters. This stemmed from a purported abuse emergency based on contested events: Paige Patterson's 2018 firing over remarks and an unverified allegation; the 2019 Houston Chronicle report (with predation rates critics say are below societal averages across 47,000 churches); and Jennifer Lyell's progressive activism framing a 12-year consensual relationship with David Sills as abuse, now unraveling via romantic emails revealed in the Sills' ongoing defamation lawsuit exposing Guidepost's biased process. The episode reflects a shift from biblical standards on adultery to secular frameworks, demanding new leadership rooted in truth for restoration.

0:14.8	Hey, John. Thanks for having me. It's been, what, a month, two months since you were on last time, and we were talking about the third way.
0:22.6	Now we're talking about the Me Too stuff, which I know has been, I think, of all the things you focused on, that's probably like your thing.
0:31.2	You know it inside and out.
0:33.5	I know it a little bit, but not to the extent you do.

0:42.5	is I wrote a substacked article.
0:44.5	We're going to kind of follow the outline of that.

1:08.2	Crazy would have been kind, but yes. You were supporting abuse and
