Episode notes

I think you probably went through a lot of suffering just throughout those 30 years, especially early on in the beginning. What was that like? Very lonely job. Over time, I'm sure the student body grew and became far more confessional and orthodox in their thinking but that must have been a really dark time. The reality is that nothing's going to come easy.

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?
