Segment 1: • The Southern Baptist Convention heads to Dallas—and tensions are rising. • Debates over the ERLC's purpose and women's roles in the church resurface. • Millions of dollars are at stake—are they fueling mission or bureaucracy? Segment 2: • Todd questions if the SBC is investing more in politics than people. • Al Mohler even questions the ERLC's effectiveness—so what now? • What if those dollars were redirected to direct gospel work? Segment 3: • The SBC wants unity—but disagreements over essentials threaten that goal. • True unity can't be built on compromise—it must be rooted in truth. • The Lord's Table reminds us: sin is deep, but grace is deeper. Segment 4: • As the SBC meets, deeper questions loom: Are we majoring in minors? • MacArthur and Sproul once showed how to disagree without dividing. • Maybe it's time to refocus on the gospel and rediscover love for God. ___ Thanks for listening!

The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is the largest Protestant denomination in the U.S., with a vast network of churches and a strong emphasis on missions. But how did it begin, and what sets it apart from other denominations?Tiffany Coker and Pastor Jeff Cranston discuss everything we've learned about the SBC in the last 2 episodes. If you missed Part 1 and Part 2 of our conversation, be sure to go back and listen to episodes 228 and 229. Here's What We Discussed00:00 The SBC's Mission-Focused DNA & MembershipFrom its inception, the Southern Baptist Convention has been focused on spreading the gospel. The SBC remains deeply missional, supporting local, national, and global outreach efforts. Since 2011, the SBC has experienced a steady decline in membership, with numbers dropping from over 16 million to around 13 million today. 06:39 The SBC's Structure & Annual MeetingThe SBC is a network of autonomous churches that cooperate in missions and theological training while governing themselves. Each year, churches send messengers to the SBC Annual Meeting to vote on key decisions.08:52 Key SBC Beliefs: The Baptist Faith & MessageThe SBC adheres to a doctrinal statement called the Baptist Faith and Message, which outlines core beliefs like:✔️ The inerrancy and authority of Scripture✔️ Salvation through faith in Christ alone✔️ Believer's baptism by immersion10:19 The SBC's FoundingThe SBC was founded in 1845 in Augusta, Georgia, after splitting from Northern Baptists over slavery. Southern Baptists sought to keep slavery a non-issue, while Northern Baptists opposed it. In 1995, the SBC formally apologized for condoning slavery and failing to stand against injustice.13:44 The Six Southern Baptist SeminariesThe SBC operates six major seminaries across the U.S., providing theological training at a reduced cost for students from SBC-affiliated churches:Gateway Seminary (California)Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Missouri)New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (Louisiana)Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (North Carolina)Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (Kentucky)Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Texas)21: 40 ClosingNext week, we shift to Presbyterianism!

This week we look back at when Chris Huff of Matter of Theology joined VOR. Following the SBC Annual Meeting, we discuss the drift of the denomination, the actions of its leaders, and ask the question: is it time for churches to leave the SBC? Show L...
GUEST: TOM ASCOL, Senior Pastor, Grace Baptist Church (Cape Coral, FL)In 1 Timothy 2, the apostle Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote to the younger pastor Timothy regarding the authority structure God established for the church:“A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.” (1 Timothy 2:11-14).This passage of Scripture and others, like the following chapter in 1 Timothy 3 establishes that pastors/elders in the church must be men of exemplary character, are under assault today as an all-out-battering-ram-like push is being made from many directions to integrate women as pastors in professed Bible-believing churches.Take the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) for example, which is the largest Protestant denomination in America with 47,000 member churches. The SBC recently “disfellowshipped” its most prominent church—Saddleback in southern California—because its former pastor Rick Warren appointed three female pastors and then a husband and wife co-pastor team to replace him.This may sound like the SBC holding the line on clear biblical teaching…but not so fast. Rick Warren has vowed to appeal the decision at the upcoming SBC Annual Meeting on June 11-12 in New Orleans where many expect the “messengers” (i.e. attendees) to vote on the matter.Frankly, there is nothing to vote on when God's word makes it abundantly clear, both in doctrine and historic practice, that pastors are to be men, while there are many other complementary and important roles for women in the church.To be very clear, the issue of female pastors is not about capability but about trust in and obedience to God's design for the authority structure he has established in the church and home.Tom Ascol, pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, FL and president of Founders Ministries, an organization “committed to encouraging the recovery of the gospel and the biblical reformation of local churches” is our guest this weekend on The Christian Worldview. Tom finished second in last year's SBC presidential vote and has been a voice of fidelity to God's word and the gospel.
