I know my friends and family members who rushed to endorse #blacklivesmatter and #blackouttuesday meant well.

There’s a lot to process. Today I’m sharing my concerns about the direction of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). And if you’re not a Southern Baptist, you may ask, “Why should this matter to me?” First of all, the SBC is the largest protestant denomination in the United States. The SBC has over 14 million […]
