Welcome to The Sword and the Trial, a podcast of Founders Ministries.

Founders Ministries exist for the recovery of the gospel and the Reformation of Churches.

I'm Jared Longshore.

And I'm Tom Askell.

Thanks for listening to The Sword and the Trial today.

We are delighted to have you with us and we are delighted to have our dear brother, Voddy Baukham, with us on this podcast.

We thank the Lord for how he has sustained you, brother. We have been praying for you along with Christians all over the place. It is so, so good to see your face. We're so happy that you're here with us. We're going to give you a little bit more of a formal introduction soon, although Vody doesn't need one. Before we get into that, we've got a lot of announcements. They're coming rapid fire. What do we have coming up? Man, we've got most urgently right now.

We've got our Be It Resolved One Day Conference, June 14th in Nashville, Tennessee.

This is the day before Southern Baptist Convention launches on June 15th.

And this conference is going to be very pivotal. It's a conference for our moment right now in

the Southern Baptist convention. If you're Southern Baptist, even if you're not, if you're in the

Nashville area, can get there. We encourage you to come. But all Southern Baptists, we want to come to

this conference because we've got to deal honestly, not just with the problems that have been

sprouting up, but we need to get below

the surface level and recognize what is at the root of all this nonsense that's going on in the

SBC. That's what this conference is about. Monday, July 14th, the one-day Founders Conference,

be it resolved, a call for resolution in uncertain times. Watch this trailer for the conference.

We have a book it says this what do you think makes the sBC the best denomination in america if you believe the book

that's good we're on the same team i'm going to put it just simply put that we stick to what

the scripture has to tell us I'm not seeing the SBC do what some conventions are

doing in terms of stepping away from their their values and stances on biblical

hot button topics if you say yeah I believe the book but because the position I'm in, you know, I really can't say much, then, you know, go get a different kind of job.
