About this episode
Jon Harris discusses the significance of the upcoming SBC Annual Meeting and the opportunities for renewal amidst recent challenges.
The Southern Baptist Convention’s annual meeting is next week in Orlando, and this one actually feels different. Jon Harris gives a clear-eyed breakdown of the last decade of decline — from Great Commission Resurgence failures, social justice influence, CRT, female pastors, and massive spending on abuse investigations — and why conservatives finally have a real opportunity for renewal. Topics covered: • Why the SBC has been declining in membership, giving, and churches • The problems with diversity initiatives and Resolution 9 • Willie Rice running for President — his public repentance and platform • The Truth & Unity Amendment on female pastors • Honest critique of several key resolutions (immigration, religious liberty, political violence, etc.) If you’re a messenger or a concerned Southern Baptist, this is the year to show up and get involved. #SouthernBaptist #SBC2025 #SBCOrlando #WillieRice #ConservativeChristians #Reformed #Theology #ChurchPolitics To Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/ Become a Patron https://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcast Substack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989…
