The Southern Baptist Convention is the largest protestant Christian body in the United States, granting it a powerful influence over religious life in the country. The average churchgoers in the SBC are some of the most conservative people in the country, but organizational leadership often cuts against the beliefs of the average member. William Wolfe, executive director of the Center for Baptist Leadership, joins me to discuss the importance of the organization's upcoming meeting in Dallas and how to purge the influence of nefarious actors like George Soros. Also, sorry about the audio on this one, there was a microphone issue but everything is up and running now.

William Wolfe, a conservative Christian and former Trump official, has faced criticism from evangelical figures like Justin Peters for praying with Paula White-Cain, a controversial prosperity gospel televangelist, during a White House Faith Office event on March 19, 2025. Critics argue that Wolfe's participation alongside White-Cain, known for unorthodox theology, compromises biblical integrity for political gain, while Wolfe defends it as a stand for pro-life and pro-family values. The situation highlights a broader evangelical debate about faith, politics, and theological discernment, with divided reactions online and within Christian communities.To Support the Podcast: https://www.worldviewconversation.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastFollow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Our Sponsors:* Check out NordVPN: https://nordvpn.com/matter* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code HARRIS for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
