Episode notes

In a situation where serious truths are on the line, how can Christians demonstrate Christ likeness? Well that is hard because battles by definition require conflict and conflict produces occasion for all kinds of hurt. I think one of the most important things we can do is be constant in making clear what the theological issues are on which there can be no compromise. And at the same time, making very clear, this is not a personal agenda.

In the 1980s the Southern Baptist Convention found itself at a crossroads. While many of its churches were faithfully teaching biblical Christianity, the seminaries where its pastors were trained had been immersed in theological liberalism for decades.

In a lot of stories, this is where the split would occur. But this time something different happened. Instead of dividing, a group of courageous Christians decided to change the equation. They came up with an unprecedented plan to turn Southern Seminary from liberal theology, back to its confessional roots.

Politics. Technology. Identity. Power. Science. Everything seems to be changing. So why not faith?
