Driscoll knows how to get eyes on his content. And this time it is absolutely disgusting. Mark Driscoll is now exploiting a war in order to build his platform. But he's not the only one! #markdriscoll #Israel #dispensationalism ------- MY LINKS ------- FOLLOW ME ➡️ http://instagram.com/deanlentini ➡️ https://twitter.com/deanlentini
Remember when we were all talking about how great it was that finally G3 was making a stand against Christian nationalists? Well that's over. G3 leaders like Scott Aniol and Virgil Walker tweeted about their financial support and threw SBC president under the bus while they did it. #g3 #christiannationalism #dougwilson ------- MY LINKS ------- FOLLOW ME ➡️ http://instagram.com/grumpybaptist ➡️ https://twitter.com/deanlentini
Trevin Wax recently wrote an article for The Gospel Coalition about Christians who have "dechurched" and gave his thoughts seemingly pointing out how he views arguments for leaving a church seem to be filled with excuses, laziness, and too much emotion. Does TGC have a point on this issue? Do they even have a leg to stand on in this conversation? https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/trevin-wax/prone-dechurch/ #tgc #dechurch #deconstruction
It's clear from stories of those who attended and lead at Mars Hill that Mark Driscoll was a manipulator, a user (of people), and a spiritual abuser. Now he's bigger than maybe he ever was. How did this happen? What can be done? Can we learn our lesson before it's too later and another Mark Driscoll gets away with it? #markdriscoll #dougWilson #marshill ------- MY LINKS ------- FOLLOW ME ➡️ http://instagram.com/deanlentini ➡️ https://twitter.com/deanlentini
Every Christian project is here to either save the world or burn it down if you'd believe the Christians marketing their conferences, podcasts, "documentaries," and online media. Why are Christians so extreme with their marketing campaigns? Is it just an attempt to receive attention or is there something more? #dougwilson #noquarternovember #dominorevival
An old John Piper clip is circulating the internet again talking about whether Christians who leave the church are still Christians. Let's unpack his take and give some context. Apostle put a video on TikTok casting out a demon of autism, as you may imagine I have som strong feelings about it. All that and more on today's Underdog Theology! #johnpiper #kathrynkrick #autism
What once looked like an alliance has quickly become a dividing line. G3 has drawn their line in the sand on the issue of Christian Nationalism. This line seems to be right in between them and Doug Wilson's camp of Christendom 2.0 proponents and fanboys. Owen Strachan seems to be in the hot seat. What did Strachan say at the G3 conference that has Moscow so upset? Plus let's poke some fun at the Fundies.
Joel Webbon is known for his views on patriarchy and Christian nationalism and today that means his online fame is growing, but should it? Right Response Ministries has been a fountain of controversy over the last few years so let's take a closer look. Where did Joel Webbon come from? What's his theology like? Let's talk about that and a bunch more on today's Underdog Theology. #JoelWebbon #patriarchy #dougwilson
Eric Conn is known online for talking about masculinity. His podcast ,"The Hard Men Podcast," has tapped into something happening in culture where men, specifically young men, are unhappy with their societal status. Conn teaches these men that they should become patriarchs and help those around them through his rigid view of masculinity. Is he right? Or is his attempts to help causing more harm? Where did Eric Conn come from? What's his theology like? Let's talk about that and a bunch more on today's Underdog Theology. #EricConn #patriarchy #dougwilson
Brian Sauvé has made a name for himself on Twitter and through his music. His tweet on modesty became an actual viral sensation. His music has been downloaded by thousands of Christians. He's become a Christian name many know, but who is he? Where did Brian Sauvé come from? What's his theology like? Let's talk about that and a bunch more on today's Underdog Theology. #BrianSauvé #patriarchy #dougwilson
The Young Restless Reformed Movement is in the review mirror and it feels like everything is changing. Because it is. So where is this changing landscape headed? And who will be leading? Will it be Doug Wilson and his followers like Joe Rigney, Joel Webbon, and the Ogden boys? Or will it be folks like Costi Hinn, Josh Buice, and G3 ministries? Is there a difference? ------- MY LINKS ------- FOLLOW ME ➡️ http://instagram.com/grumpybaptist ➡️ https://twitter.com/deanlentini
Craig Groeschel's church is doing their At the Movies series and went nuts with a Super Mario Brothers theme for the church. They even had Bowser dressed up to worship. Wow. On the other side, Josh Buice wrote a post for G3 Ministries on how lights should stay on for worship. Which one is right? #bowser #worship #church ------- MY LINKS ------- FOLLOW ME ➡️ http://instagram.com/deanlentini ➡️ https://twitter.com/deanlentini
John MacArthur spoke at the premiere for the Essential Church documentary telling pastors they should feel guilty they didn't act like he did. Then we'll discuss Joel Webbon's recent interview on Ruslan's podcast. And we'll start looking into a newer figure on the scene, Eric Conn. Should be an interesting show!

We've been talking a lot about the patriarchy lately. Patriarchy is being taught by guys like Joel Webbon, Dale Partridge, Doug Wilson, and a few others making a very loud minority. Now that loudness is being answered by Owen Strachan. Interesting. All that and more on today's Underdog Theology. WANT TO HELP ME MAKE MY CHANNEL BETTER??

Mark Dever, pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church and Founder of 9Marks, had a pretty epic rant at an SBC event held in New Orleans. In a video Dever seemingly rebukes presbyterian brothers for their lack of biblical fidelity. The internet has a lot of thoughts on this issue. Let's discuss Dever's rant and ask the question who is right Baptists or Presbyterians? WANT TO HELP ME MAKE MY CHANNEL BETTER??

So this weekend was interesting. dale Partridge has seemingly had enough of the questions about his education and Pinterest account where hundreds of pictures of women were pinned. So he responded to a tweet asking about his Pinterest and then responded and then responded some more. And let's just say Dale's not happy with me. WANT TO HELP ME MAKE MY CHANNEL BETTER??

Shiny Happy People, the Amazon documentary series that looks into the Duggar family and their connections to Bill Gothard, revealed how a certain sect of Christianity viewed patriarchy as biblical. Some were upset about the series making it seem that these views were more prevalent and depicted all of Christianity. Are those claims true? Or is patriarchy part of Christianity? All that and more on today's Underdog Theology. #JohnPiper #shinyhappypeople #dougwilson
So the Gospel Coalition published an article where they attacked Little Mermaid for being an allegory about...well you'll just have to watch to see. It's nuts. Then We'll take a look at Sean Feucht taking communion in the Capitol Building. A trip to Fundyville and the Penalty Box too. Let's do this! #tgc #littlemermaid #christian
Trinity Bible Chapel used to be known for the Gospel now it's known for politics all across Canada and the reason for it is a little town in Idaho, Moscow Idaho. Let's take a look at some of the real life effects of Doug Wilson's way of thinking. #DougWilson #JamesCoates #Canada ------- MY LINKS ------- FOLLOW ME ➡️ http://instagram.com/grumpybaptist ➡️ https://twitter.com/deanlentini
Rick Warren has penned a letter that is getting a lot of folks talking, but once again we ask is this what needs to be focused on right now? Wen have updates on some other stories as well like Amazon's Shiny Happy People Documentary series and Dale Partridge's silence.
Carl Lentz, former Hillsong NYC pastor, was featured in FX's documentary The Secrets of Hillsong. Here are my thoughts.
What is happening? Everywhere I look I just see the most odd, bizarre, and sometimes just evil take being propagated by "evangelicals" online.
The Resurgence was perhaps the largest website of the Young, Restless, and Reformed movement. Thousands of readers would visit the site daily to read Mark Driscoll's blog or Matt Chandler's recent post. Many young Christians found their way to the Puritans and Charles Spurgeon from this website. Then one day it just died. What happened?
Tim Ross, host of the Basement, preached at Mike Todd's Church and said one of the most horrendous things I've heard from a stage. Tim Ross said Jesus was his stripper. Yep, he said that. He really did. And it's even worse than that too. That and a lot more on today's Underdog Theology
John MacArthur always has a nose for controversy. Whether it's telling Beth Moore to Go Home or telling a female YouTube she isn't allowed to tell her own story. It's a lot. We'll also be talking about Judah Smith and his rule of a 10% tithe for church employees, Tucker Carlson and his departure from Fox, and a BIG W for Christian evangelism in Illinois. All that and more on Underdog Theology! ------ MY LINKS ------- ➡️ http://instagram.com/grumpybaptist ➡️ https://twitter.com/deanlentini
Isaiah Saldivar recently had a conversation with Ruslan discussing whether Liquid Death was a good thing to drink, which apparently led to a bunch of backlash from folks like Marcus Rogers because Liquid Death gives you demons. Is that biblical? Can drinking certain water give you demons? Michael Foster (of the Moscow camp) is promoting a new "documentary" on masculinity. We'll take a look at the trailer. And then we'll see that brand of masculinity on full display with the cult over in Colorado calling themselves "New Protestants." All that and more on Underdog Theology! ------ MY LINKS ------- ➡️ http://instagram.com/grumpybaptist ➡️ https://twitter.com/deanlentini
Tom Ascol has entered the chat and he has some words for Rachel Denhollander's criticism of John MacArthur. Denhollander has accused MacArthur of being connected to Bill Gothard in his teachings on male headship and women's roles in the world. Is it slander like Ascol says? All this and more on today's Underdog Theology! ------ MY LINKS -------
Joe Rigney has resigned his leadership position at Bethlehem College and Seminary. This is a huge shakeup that lead to the John Piper established institution to push out a statement that is VERY interesting and makes it clear that Doug Wilson's teachings are at least in part no longer welcome at Bethlehem. ------ MY LINKS -------
So another Shepherds Conference (John MacArthur's conference) is in the books and there's a lot to discuss. The theme of the 2023 Shepherds Conference was "The Remnant." But can you really call your movement a remnant when it's so popular and lucrative that you can put your face on a can of Fresca? Let's discuss! ------ MY LINKS -------
The Gospel Coalition caught flack last week for posting a bizarre article describing Jesus as a husband in intercourse with his wife. Yes, you read that right. As you might expect the reaction was less than stellar. This led to chain reaction in which many are now saying that the outrage culture of online Christians is the true danger here. Oh boy... ------ MY LINKS -------
Today on Underdog Theology we'll be taking a look at a few points made by Jen Wilkin on a recent Good Faith Debate from The Gospel Coalition (TGC). Scott Aniol of G3 Ministries made some interesting comments about the debate that we'll discuss as well. All that and more on Underdog Theology! ------ MY LINKS -------
A recent sermon clip has been making its way around the internet where a pastor describes a woman. It's nothing new but it brings up a point that we need to discuss. Thew way we talk about the other sex from the stage matters. ------ MY LINKS -------
There have been some interesting things to come out of the news from this past week's Christianity Today article on John MacArthur and Grace Community Church's counselling methods. Also is a revival breaking out in Kentucky? Asbury University seems to be experiencing what many are calling revival. ------ MY LINKS -------
Doug Wilson has made a deal with Reformation Heritage Books over the Puritan documentary produced by Media Gratiae. Is that ok given Wilson's theology? This leads to a bigger conversation about cancel culture. Cancel culture seems to be rampant these days, but is it biblical? ------- MY LINKS -------
I asked Ai about mega churches and the answer was surprisingly insightful. What can we learn from artificial intelligence and how we do church? Lots to consider! ------- MY LINKS -------

We have a couple different stories to talk about today. First we'll take a look at the discussion happening over whether Churches that choose NOT to meet on Christmas Sunday are biblically sound. Then we'll talk about my favourite thing I've read all year long. Fair warning, it's incredibly emotional. If we have time we'll also check out a CNN article about "Rapture anxiety." It's a lot!

Tik Tok "star" pastor Brandan Robertson has built his platform on the back of deconstruction and church hurt, but is that really what he teaches? He sat down with Sean McDowell and gave some very interesting answers to some simple questions. Is Brandan Robertson a heretic? Confused?

New circles are being drawn and new denominations are being developed in evangelicalism. You know what that means? FIGHTS. Lot of them!

Today is all about criticism. John Piper corrected John MacArthur on stage during the Puritan Conference at Grace Community Church. At the same time the MacArthur Center for Expository Preaching dropped an episode about how John MacArthur has dealt with his critics, at least his critics in the 80s. And TGC posted an article about how pastors shouldn't be criticized online.

1517, Wittenberg Germany. Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis and the Reformation was started. A lot of us know about the names attached to the Reformation, but what really happened?

Costi Hinn recently tweeted several statements condemning some of the G3 ministries speakers he had partnered with in the past due to their stances on funding and including questionable characters like Doug Wilson.
