Dr. Tony Evans Steps Down Over Secret Sin | Ep 1017

Today, we discuss some news in the Baptist church — Pastor Tony Evans has decided to step down due to a "secret" past sin. Is he obligated to confess his sin? In related news, the Southern Baptist Church is expected to outlaw female pastors and issue a resolution urging the government to limit IVF. We discuss what these votes mean for the future of the church. Plus, more of Cru's LGBTQ curriculum recently leaked, and we go through some concerns we have with it.

As a pastor myself, I'll tell you that the devil constantly has a target on us. "Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter." Praying for Pastor Evans - no matter what the "secret sin" turns out to be!

[polarfamily]

He behaved exactly as he should - late or early it's what was needed. May God bless him as he goes thru this.

[JohnOBryan]

If everyone who has sinned stepped down, no one would be left standing.

[terasachickelero]

We have to pray for him. Conviction has hit him and he is owning up to that. We have to give him grace and love on him as Jesus would. No one is perfect and he is acknowledging that. Continued prayer.

[mariateresarowlands]

My heart is grieving for Dr. Tony Evans and rejoicing as well as God loves him and we all fall short of the Glory of God. Praying for him.🙏

[sangro]

Says a lot that he confessed to those closest to him. God's mercy endures forever! ❤

[joycharlton]

Thing is, we all sin daily and need the mercies of God. Praying for my brother and truly respect him more for being so transparent to the world. Be encouraged and restored Pas. Tony.

[marilyncook]

I pray God blesses Dr. Tony with restoration that he needs. He has been very strong in his preaching. But like all of us, he is human. David was a man after God’s own heart but he made some terrible decisions. He also repented.

[angieponders]

I don't need to know more. My God's grace surround him, family, church family.

[olgasantiago-agirlfriendsguide]

❤It’s so incredibly important that we pray for our pastors and their family! The enemy is after all of us that are Christian’s followers but how much more a pastor and his family!❤🙏

[judah]

I’m gonna miss him. He’s one of the best pastors ever.

[luzt]

He already spoke to his family and step down, now the rest is between him and God. People just want to know the details to be able to gossip. And David said unto Gad, “I am in a great strait. Let us fall now into the hand of the Lord, for His mercies are great; and let me not fall into the hand of man.”

[giodonni]

Men want grace and mercy but dont give it. Im not on it. I forgive as God does and instructs me to do. Dr. Evans be restored! Let him with no sin cast the first stone.

[corthin_the_dorf]

The Holy Spirit has used Tony Evans to teach me daily since 2020.

Tony Evans has my total and complete support and confidence that he continues to walk the right path and will find the restoration through whatever process he is going through.

[EE-vlqy]

Praying for Pastor Tony Evans, Family and Congregation! Unity in the Spirit and the bond of Peace! Reconciliation, forgiveness! I pray that whatever the enemy meant for evil that God will turn it around and use it for His glory!

[dariannealy]

One of the best pastors I’ve ever had in my 50 years of living. Prayers Dr Evans

[cassandramccracklin]

This man is NO ONE IS EXEMPT FROM A MESS UP....WE ARE NOT PERFECT, STILL LOVE YOU TONY.

[kephale]

If he tells his congregation he’s telling the world 🌎 especially with social media.

[annchovey]

If it was something that happened long ago somebody was threatening to blackmail him. We are all put in uncomfortable positions. The man is human and I’m sure he is not the same person now as then. God bless Dr. Evans and his family.

[christinapfeifer]

I agree Allie. He doesn’t owe the world an explanation but he does owe the congregation he leads an explanation. Wish him all the healing needed.
