0:00.0	Thanks for tuning in to the Sword and Trial today. Today we have the privilege of interviewing Mike
0:05.2	Law. He's a pastor from Arlington, Virginia, Southern Baptist, who has gained some notoriety in the
0:11.8	last year because he determined to ask questions about whether Southern Baptist churches
0:16.4	should allow women to be pastors in their churches. And because of his tenacity and his determination to keep pressing that question
0:24.7	seeking an answer to it, the Southern Baptist Convention in New Orleans in its annual meeting
0:28.6	just a few weeks ago voted to amend its constitution to say, no, we cannot have women
0:35.2	serve as pastors in any of our churches. Now, that's the first of two
0:39.2	votes that it has to survive. The next one will be at the 2024 annual meeting. But we talked to
0:45.3	Mike about the progress of that whole movement and what happened to him, what his thinking was,
0:52.4	the challenges and obstacles that he had to overcome,
0:55.1	and how God has worked in the midst of that to bring some greater health to the SBC.
1:02.1	So you want to listen to Mike.
1:03.1	He's a wonderful pastor, and I think he's a model for pastors today to steward what God
1:08.4	has given to us in our local congregations and in our larger connections.
1:16.8	Welcome to the Sword and Trial. The Sword and Trial is a podcast of Founders Ministries and Founders
1:25.2	Exists for the Recovery of the Gospel and the Reformation of Local
1:28.6	Churches. I'm Tom Askell. And I'm Graham Gundon. And today we look forward to introducing you to
1:34.1	Mike Law, those of you who do not know him, or to providing more opportunity to get to know Mike
1:41.2	law. If you do know him, Mike is a pastor from Virginia.
1:44.9	He's a longtime friend.
1:46.2	I don't even remember Mike when we met, but maybe we could try to figure that out.
1:50.6	But welcome to the sword and trial.
