"Shepherds for Sale" with Megan Basham (Part 2)
Manage episode 437578826 series 1912509
In this second part of a two-part interview with Megan Basham, the conversation continues with topics ranging from abortion to critical race theory to current events surrounding the Democratic National Committee Convention. Listen in as the guys chat with Megan about the importance of shepherds leading their congregations in a way that honors God and the sacrifice of Jesus, ultimately leading to their encouragement being the ambassadors that we (as Christians) are called to be.
In Shepherds for Sale, Megan Basham of the Daily Wire documents how progressive powerbrokers —from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration— set out to change the American church. Their goal: to co-opt evangelicals for political purposes. She exposes:
· The left-wing billionaires, foundations, and think tanks that deliberately target Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations
· The celebrity megachurch pastor who secretly encouraged a group of pastors to change their views on sexuality
· The revered Presbyterian theologian who backed a congregation rebelling against his own denomination
These are just a glimpse into the compromises and astroturf campaigns Basham uncovers. Many evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider the importance of abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of “perpetuating systemic racism.” And in exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise. Basham brings the receipts, and names names.
A rigorously reported exposé, Shepherds for Sale is a warning of what happens when the church trusts the world’s wisdom instead of Scripture.
