Alongside SBC 2025 at CBL's "For the Faithful Majority" Conference, Dusty Deevers, Chase Davis, Brent Money, and Dr. Scott Colter sit down to discuss "Baptists with Backbone in the Public Square." Panelists emphasize Christ's sovereignty over all areas of life, including politics, and criticize the church's historical passivity. The speakers call for Christians to be bold, active, and unapologetic in addressing issues like abortion, transgender ideology, and school curricula. They argue that Southern Baptists should mobilize, vote, and run for office to influence culture and politics. The panel highlights the need for pastors to preach truth and for Christians to see their faith as applicable to every sphere of life. –––––– Follow Center for Baptist Leadership across Social Media: X / Twitter – https://twitter.com/BaptistLeaders Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/people/Center-For-Baptist-Leadership/61556762144277/ Rumble – https://rumble.com/c/c-6157089 YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@CenterforBaptistLeadership Website – https://centerforbaptistleadership.org/ To book William for media appearances or speaking engagements, please contact him at media@centerforbaptistleadership.org.

This week on G3 Weekly, we analyze the biggest headlines through the light of Scripture:1. The Socialist Shift in NYC (0:39) We break down the victory of Zohran Mamdani, the first Muslim and Democratic Socialist mayor of New York City, and explain why this ideology fundamentally clashes with a biblical worldview that affirms private property and individual responsibility.2. Government Shutdown Deconstructed (6:49)The longest-ever federal shutdown reveals a dangerously over-involved government. We discuss why the constitutional gridlock is actually a feature designed as a "protection against tyranny."3. The War on Conscience (12:09)We examine the new University of California mandate that defines using an "incorrect pronoun" or "dead name" as harassment, arguing this is compelled speech that forces Christian students to violate their conscience.4. Major Religious Freedom Victory (15:38) We celebrate the Texas Supreme Court ruling that protects judges who refuse to perform same-sex marriages based on their biblical convictions, creating a vital shield for the Christian conscience in the public square.Ultimately: As Christians, our hope is in God's sovereignty, not in human politics.
