Why Are Christian Institutions Trading Truth for a Leftist Agenda? with Megan Basham
I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEISTAbout this episode
How are once-trusted, conservative Christian institutions like World Relief, Biola University, and Baylor drifting into wokism? This week, Daily Wire journalist, Megan Basham joins Frank to discuss new stories that have come to light since the publication of her bestselling book, 'Shepherds for Sale', and uncovers the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways Christian institutions are being infiltrated by secular ideology. Together, Frank and Megan tackle questions like: What “dirty little secret” do most people don't know about many religious NGOs (non-government organizations) that work with immigration, like World Relief? Why did World Relief condemn the Trump Administration for ordering further vetting of Afghan refugees and what happened the very next day? What does the Bible say about legal and illegal immigrants? Was Jesus a refugee? Is Biola University going woke? And why did Charlie Kirk publicly raise the alarm? What is 'Side B Theology', who are its proponents, and how does it lure believers toward sexual immorality? Why does Everett Piper believe that Christian students are better off going to secular universities? Why are some Christian schools blocking TPUSA chapters? When Christian institutions trade truth for trends, the Church must be vigilant, vocal, and ready to demand accountability. The goal isn't destruction, but restoration of the faithful institutions they've been in the past. As Proverbs 27:6 states: 'Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.' Be sure to grab your copy of 'Shepherds for Sale' if you haven't already, and stick around for the end of the program to hear what surprising project Megan is working on next!
