About this episode

The episode features a reaction to a sermon that mirrors a controversial past sermon by a convicted sex criminal.

In this episode, We react to a sermon delivered by Eddie Lapina of First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, at their annual Pastors' School event. This sermon also happens to be word-for-word the same sermon delivered by convicted sex criminal and disgraced former FBCH Pastor Jack Schaap nearly 20 years ago.
