Summary

Segment 1

Segment 2

• 100,000 U.S. churches to close; a significant loss for the Christian community.

• Church is where growth happens. It’s not just about programs.

• SBC pastors pushing for stricter limits on female clergy.

Segment 3

• Key decisions on church doctrine and policies ahead.

• When God says it, that’s the final word.

• A cultural shift on reparations, but what does it mean biblically?

Segment 4

• Fear of retribution restrains sin; it’s not just punishment.
