Summary
Jon first addresses Alistair Begg's recent "trans" wedding comment then talks about recent shifts to the right however small from people like Justin Taylor, Andrew Walker, Erik Reed, Colin Smothers, Josh Howerton, and JT English. How should Christians think about leaders who showed compromise but now are starting to condemn what they once supported? This is a tricky subject but an important one!

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone. We're live now on the Conversations That Matter podcast. I hope you're all having a good evening. It is a cold evening here in upstate New York. I was just outside and I'm glad I'm inside now. |
| 0:13.0 | We have a number of things to talk about. |
| 0:15.4 | I debated this morning because I knew I was going to do a podcast today. |
| 0:18.8 | What exactly I would talk about because there was a couple different things, but I thought about talking about some general news |
| 0:25.8 | and decided against it because there's so much stuff |
| 0:29.3 | in evangelicalism right now and Christianity |
| 0:32.4 | that I think needs to be talked about and of course my day |
| 0:35.8 | started with many of you probably already seen it but the clip from Alistair Begg so I'm |
| 0:40.9 | going to incorporate that at the beginning of this podcast, but then we're going to talk about some other figures and really some things that I've been putting off just because of the holidays and then travel and but I want to talk about this issue |

| 1:26.0 | church and it's more convenient depending on where you are to when I shouldn't |
| 1:32.4 | even say convenient but it but it's more acceptable to critique those things, |
| 1:37.0 | because now we're on the other side of them and we know that things got two out of hand. |
| 1:41.0 | What do you do with people that oppose ideas that they |
| 1:44.5 | once held without acknowledging it, without repenting, without telling you that |
| 1:48.9 | they are doing that? And of course we've talked about this quite a bit I've used |
| 1:52.6 | Almolar as an example multiple times because he switches positions a lot and people |
| 1:58.6 | who like him want to defend him and say that he's he doesn't, no he's consistent, but if you're careful and you listen to what he says over the course of years, |
