I think is such a necessary book. So many of those men have been flying under the radar. Thank you Megan Basham!

[EdwardJOrmsby]

I am not Calvinist, but I really appreciate and support Megan Basham’s courage and investigative journalism. She has pulled back the curtain on some very powerful people who have crept into the church with an ungodly, evil agenda. Well done. I can’t wait to get the book.

[katherinecornette]

Thank you! Looking forward to your book! I was in JD Greear’s church, Aikin’s seminary feeding students into our church. We were so disappointed in how these were used by the lefts agenda leaders. So hard to find a truly Biblical church now.

[danlauingii]

The work these two have done in exposing these people is encouraging.

Let's hope pastors care.

[TheDelgadoReyes]

This lady is a treasure! Truly appreciate her so much. She also reminds me that we are under judgement from God, make no mistake. Among other things, when God judges a nation He sends them wicked rulers and removes the fear of God from His prophets, by application, our pastors. He removes any semblance of testicular fortitude (yup I went there) from our male leaders and gives it to women to also judge us as men. God help us and have mercy. Command what thy will and will what thy command.

[shawngillogly]

Thank you for this interview. And it definitely sheds needed sunlight.

[cherylrobinson]

Just happened upon this after recently learning how CRU is embracing and forcing upon staff a very leftist agenda. So sad!! My sister and brother-in-law will be attending the Southern Baptist convention and I have let them know of your luncheon. Good work!!

[MG-edgs]

Amen! Thank you for coming out and openly declaring that Christians cannot support the Democratic Party. Their platform is so blatantly anti-christ that it sickens me to hear pastors it’s okay to support the D-Party.

[txpb]

So glad this will be published soon. It both enrages me and saddens my heart toward the Church. I look forward to reading more.

[alexemery]

It is a spiritual battle. Effective teaching of doctrine as a way of bringing people to understanding of the Christian - Conservative - World view is the best approach.

[sheryloleniczak]

Have been following this in Evangelicalism for 5 years now. It is an uphill battle because Christians don't have the fortitude to search it out in every corner of the church or speak up. The numerous times I have brought it up in Christian circles and church leaders they deny or deflect. It's sad.

[LeadershipDynamics]

This is clearly one of the most important and consequential interviews I have heard in some time. Having served as a pastor, missionary, denominational exec and Christian college and seminary prof, Christianity and culture has long been a concern of mine. Please take the time to listen to this critical interview. Thank you Megan, for your courage, dedication and scholarship to confront some critical issues in the church. The ramifications are great. Thanks, Tom for providing a much needed platform. Stay the Course.

[PHURBIOUS]

Wonderful and very informative!!!! Megan is such a blessing. Praise the Lord for working through her to keep us informed!!!!

[kaymoto]

Agree with Tom, repentance & resignation is the only path for these duplicitous pastors.

[hannahmcmillan]

Thanks! I always love it when you have Megan Bashum on!

[bubbag]

Hardly the first time, Scofield's reference Bible ruined millions theology

[dylan]

Megan slandered Gavin Ortlund in clear, demonstrable, ways that can be proven without a shadow of a doubt. We shouldn't be handing such busybodies the loudest megaphones.

[JRRodriguez-nupo]

This is exactly how Balaam advised to bring Israel down. Seduction works where confrontation fails. Hence the increased effeminacy of the Church valuing feelings and relationships over Truth.

[jonr]

Last month's United Methodist General Conference WokeFest only reinforces everything Ms. Basham says.

[jmferris]

I appreciate Megan Basham's work, however, she really needs to publicly retract her false accusations made against Gavin Ortlund in the book. Please see his video correcting the record.
