Summary

Could your favorite celebrity pastor or your church's leadership compromise the truth in exchange for cultural approval (and a BIG paycheck)? Many prominent evangelical leaders have become more and more outspoken in questioning the Bible's clear teachings on political issues like natural marriage and life in the womb, leading to confusion and concern about their underlying motives. Are these pastors and leaders genuinely well-meaning, misled, and misguided, or are they progressively embracing the "woke" agenda for money and power? This week, Frank invites Daily Wire journalist Megan Basham (https://www.dailywire.com/author/megan-basham) on the podcast to discuss her new book 'Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda (https://a.co/d/5hvn1DF)', which investigates how leftist billionaires have convinced some of today's pastors and Christian leaders to stray from the Word of God to sow seeds of discord among the Body of Christ. During their talk, Frank and Megan will answer questions like:* When and why did churches begin receiving funds from people like George Soros and the Rockefeller Foundation?* Did evangelical leaders like Russell Moore, Beth Moore, and Ed Stetzer trade the truth for a leftist agenda?* Is it compassionate for Christians to advocate for open borders?* How did Christianity Today react to the overturning of Roe v. Wade?* How have well-known evangelicals weakened the political impact of Christian conservatives?* Why must Christians be clear about what is and is not sin?This podcast episode will shock you as Megan blows the lid off corruption in our churches and even conservative seminaries, naming names and exposing how some of our modern era's most influential preachers and teachers have drifted off into doctrinal error, sometimes even with good intentions. Be sure to pre-order a copy of 'Shepherds for Sale (https://a.co/d/5hvn1DF)' and tune in to the midweek podcast episode where Megan and Frank return to discuss how these leftist agendas are impacting the church curriculum and the fight for life.To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, join our CrossExamined private community (https://community.crossexamined.org/).
