Pastoral leadership in America is under attack and Christians need to be aware of what’s going on behind the scenes! That’s why Daily Wire journalist, Megan Basham, returns to talk more about her book ‘Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda‘, which exposes how prominent leaders in our pulpits have adopted policies that are directly opposed to the Christian faith. Megan also exposes the tactics they’re using to push these harmful agendas onto unsuspecting church goers. Issues discussed include: Why are some pastors and Christian leaders demanding Christians support debatable positions, but are squishy on clear biblical teachings? Are Christians obligated to vote a certain way on climate change, vaccines, and immigration? Who are the wolves in the church and is it ok to call…

Is Social Justice Hijacking the Gospel?

Progressive Christian blogger and author John Pavlovitz wrote, “We believe that social justice is the heart of the Gospel…” Is he right? And what exactly is social justice? I recently posted an article in which I described Progressive Christian churches as swapping out the gospel for social justice. I got a lot of pushback on this point, but I believe that most of this pushback comes down to a misunderstanding of words. Some are quick to say, “Social justice is good!” or “Social justice is bad!” without giving any nuanced thought to what the phrase actually means. Recently, I listened to a Mortification of Spin podcast episode called “Hijacking Social Justice,” that brilliantly dove into the history and meaning of the phrase and how it interacts with the gospel. It inspired this article, and I highly recommend listening to it. What is Social Justice? Justice is a strong and…

Shepherds for Sale | with Megan Basham

AFR, Apologetics, app, Bible, Christianity, cross examined, faith, google play, Jesus Christ, Megan Basham, Podcast, Politics, Radio, Spotify, stitcher

Could your favorite celebrity pastor or even your church’s leadership be compromising the truth in exchange for cultural approval (and a BIG paycheck)? Many prominent evangelical leaders have become more and more outspoken in questioning the Bible’s clear teachings on political issues like natural marriage and life in the womb, leading to confusion and concern about their underlying motives. Are these pastors and leaders genuinely well-meaning, misled and misguided, or are they progressively embracing the “woke” agenda for money and power? This week Frank invites Daily Wire journalist, Megan Basham, on the podcast to discuss her new book ‘Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda‘, which investigates how leftist billionaires have convinced some of today’s pastors and Christian leaders to stray from the Word of…
