The Holy Post
Unpacking the Infiltration of Progressive Billionaires in Evangelical Churches
The discussion centers around the alarming infiltration of progressive billionaires into American evangelical churches, as highlighted in Megan Basham's impactful book, 'Shepherds for Sale.' This work exposes the intentional strategies employed by influential leftist figures, such as George Soros and prominent members of the Obama administration, aiming to influence and reshape the beliefs of evangelical congregations for political ends. Basham details how these power players target not just megachurches but also Christian media, universities, and other nonprofit organizations, fostering a shift among evangelical leaders towards more progressive stances on critical topics like sexuality, abortion, climate change, and systemic racism. In exchange for aligning with these leftist ideologies, many church leaders have received significant monetary support, career advancements, and elevated social prestige. The book is described as potentially the most crucial text on modern evangelicalism, shedding light on the intricate compromises and behind-the-scenes campaigns affecting the church's direction and moral compass.
