Summary

Segment 1:

• The Southern Baptist Convention heads to Dallas—and tensions are rising.

• Debates over the ERLC’s purpose and women’s roles in the church resurface.

• Millions of dollars are at stake—are they fueling mission or bureaucracy?

Segment 2:

• Todd questions if the SBC is investing more in politics than people.

• Al Mohler even questions the ERLC’s effectiveness—so what now?

• What if those dollars were redirected to direct gospel work?

Segment 3:

• The SBC wants unity—but disagreements over essentials threaten that goal.

• True unity can’t be built on compromise—it must be rooted in truth.

• The Lord’s Table reminds us: sin is deep, but grace is deeper.

Segment 4:

• As the SBC meets, deeper questions loom: Are we majoring in minors?

• MacArthur and Sproul once showed how to disagree without dividing.

• Maybe it’s time to refocus on the gospel and rediscover love for God.

0:00.0	Richard Radio begins in three, two, one.
0:08.5	Somehow, God is in me, and there's a sense in which I am like God and man all at once.
0:15.8	Many religions claim that we will all eventually be God.
0:19.3	The Bible said something so much better. It says, no, God will continue to be God. The Bible said something so much better.
0:21.4	It says, no, God will continue to be God.
0:24.0	Man will continue to be man, but God will come upon man.
0:28.4	No way.
0:29.7	It's time for Rretched Radio with Talt Freel.
0:33.0	Storm's a brewing.
0:34.4	But don't you panic.
0:36.5	We are your storm shelter. This, I don't know if that works,
0:40.8	this is Wretched Radio. If you check your theological forecast, you'll notice there's a front
0:45.9	moving into Dallas, Texas, and it's predicted to descend on a convention center between
0:51.9	June 8th and June 11th as the Southern Baptist Convention gets
0:56.1	together to convene their convention. See, they need a new name. I don't want to tell the Southern
1:01.6	Baptist what to do. Well, I'm going to, but I don't want to tell them what the Southern Baptist
1:05.8	Convention convention. It just doesn't work. They either need to change the name of their organization or
1:12.9	their meeting. But I just, could somebody make a resolution on that, which is exactly what's
1:18.6	going to happen, which is exactly why there could be a bit of a brouhaha in Dallas, Texas.
1:25.1	I think one of the big issues, of course, is going to be the issue of the role of
1:30.0	women in the church. Did you see, incidentally, oh, was it the New York Times, I believe, did a piece.
1:37.9	It was a video piece, which is kind of weird. It's like, stay in your lane, NYT. You write.
