As the executive director for the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, Dr. Nathan Lorick has a passion to see the Lord work in his state. The SBTC's mission is to mobilize its 2,880 churches to multiply disciple making movements in Texas and around the world. In the past year, the convention has planted 68 churches and projects even more in the year ahead. In addition to planting churches in their own state, they're committed to building partnerships across the country and around the world for the sake of the gospel. The SBTC is committed to assisting churches in dealing with issues like protecting the sanctity of life, gender and sexuality, and more. Just last year, the SBTC was involved in the Supreme Court case Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton, which contested a Texas state law that required age verification to protect children from sexually explicit content. By God's grace, the Texas law was upheld in a six three ruling communicating that states have authority in such decisions.On today's episode, Dr. Gary Hollingsworth, ERLC interim President, chats with Nathan Lorick about the opportunities and challenges they're facing in equipping Texas pastors to minister well in their communities. Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.

It's unfortunately easy for youth ministry to exclude students who are neurodivergent or who have physical disabilities. These students and their families often experience significant stress in at home, and the church can sometimes add to their sense of not feeling welcomed. This episode from the podcast features a conversation with Sandra Peoples about how youth workers and churches can better serve students and parents with disabilities.  Discussion Questions:  It could be helpful to start by talking about verbiage - what do we mean by disabilities and why is the community moving away from the phrase “special needs”?  When we're talking about ministry to students with disabilities and those who are neurodivergent, it can quickly get overwhelming to really understand what we're talking about. Could you give a basic overview of what these phrases mean for our listeners who are new to the conversation?  How should youth workers think about disability from a biblical and theological framework?  What are some unique stresses and challenges these families experience that would be good for pastors to be aware of?  Obviously, youth ministries don't have the same resources and support as a public school to provide one-on-one aides and we haven't usually received much training, so what are some ways that our youth ministries could realistically make some changes to be a welcoming space?  Most of the special needs students who come to youth group are likely considered mild/moderate in needs and are mainstreamed in their school classes, so they can often slip under our radar because there isn't always something visible about their disability. What counsel do you have for youth workers that will equip us to better minister to these students?  About Sandra: Sandra Peoples (M Div, PhD student) is the disability ministry consultant for the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, an adjunct professor for Liberty University, and the author of Unexpected Blessings: The Joys and Possibilities of Life in a Special-Needs Family.

Abolitionists, led by Pastor Aaron Wright and Abolish Abortion Texas VP J.R. Haas, brought the Southern Baptist Resolution on Abolishing Abortion to the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention in Flint, TX on November 8th and 9th.
