"Shepherds for Sale" with Megan Basham (Part 2)
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.

Get Out of Cruise Control
When you're driving down the highway and you set your car to cruise control it gets just a little easier to get distracted because you de-obligate your attention to that important aspect of driving. Maybe there are kids clamoring for snacks in the back seat; maybe there's that one text you need to answer. The distractions start to build and eventually you could find yourself in a bad situation! When followers of Christ adopt the same sort of "cruise control" mentality with their faith, the opportunities for distraction and destruction are just as prevalent. In this episode, listen in as Dave and Dante talk through the dangers of mediocrity and cruise control Christianity. Tune in and get back to the fire and fervor of following Christ and proclaiming Him to the world! For more about the Legacy Dads, visit Legacy Dads today!
