Southern Baptists’ morality system doesn’t produce moral behavior

Evangelicals love to claim having a superior morality to heathens. They insist that their faith produces real changes in believers that lead them to greater moral heights than we poor heathens could ever manage. But their own behavior betrays those claims. Today, we’ll see how one evangelical denomination, the Southern Read more…

How evangelicals lost their authenticity

Authenticity, as a concept, isn’t part of the vocabulary of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). With their latest metrics revealing yet more declines in membership, affiliated churches, and donations, this denomination is bleeding relevance. Today, we’ll cover one big reason why: Zero authenticity within evangelicalism in general. And it’s about Read more…

Mike Bickle’s free pass: The foxes who guard the henhouse

Last time we met up, we talked about an evangelical leader named Mike Bickle. He founded and used to lead an evangelical group called International House of Prayer (IHOPKC). Over a dramatically short time last year, his star crashed to earth. The truth came out at last: For decades, he’s Read more…

Mike Bickle is everything wrong with right-wing Christianity

An evangelical leader named Mike Bickle has been dealing with the consequences of his actions for perhaps the first time in his entire life. Throughout his career, he has escaped accountability by taking advantage of the serious flaws within evangelical culture. Today, we’ll examine those flaws—and see how they allowed Read more…

SBC leaders are done pretending to care about sex abuse

The Southern Baptist Convention, or SBC, has known about their entrenched sex abuse problem for at least a few decades now. Everyone else found out about it in 2019 with ‘Abuse of Faith.’ Since then, however, SBC leaders have done virtually nothing to reform their denomination. The SBC’s biggest names Read more…

What evangelicals are getting wrong about ‘negative world’

Last year, we briefly touched on the concept of ‘negative world’ in Christianity. It’s the idea that modern American/Western society now feels hostile toward Christianity rather than neutral or even positive toward it. Of late, though, the concept has gotten attention from some secular news outlets. So today, let’s explore Read more…

Matt Queen blames everyone but himself for lying to the feds

Next week, Matt Queen finds out what his penalty will be for lying to federal investigators about a sex assault cover-up at a Southern Baptist seminary. Through his lawyer, Queen is trying to make himself seem like a TRUE CHRISTIAN™. Yes, he just made a little bitty oopsie-doodle-boodle! He was Read more…

In groups, power changes everything

As I researched the Anglican Church’s ongoing sex abuse crisis, a secondary story about organizational power emerged. It illustrates the gulf between an organization’s leaders and its followers—and how those leaders must be much more careful than they think about how their behavior comes off to followers. This story pairs Read more…

Anglican Church continues to struggle with its leaders’ hypocrisy

Recently, we discussed an ongoing scandal within the UK’s Anglican Church (also called the Church of England). Its highest-ranking clergyman, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, had to resign after everyone discovered he’d egregiously mishandled sex abuse complaints and shielded a particularly-serious abuser from consequences for years. His last day Read more…

NAILED IT: Trevin Wax has totally sorted the ‘hard questions’

Trevin Wax is one of the hardline evangelical Calvinist lads over at The Gospel Coalition (TGC). We’ve discussed his work more than a few times. He aims his message at evangelicals who might be fixin’ to deconstruct their faith. Since there appear to be a lot of deconstructing evangelicals out Read more…
