#111 // Megan Basham | Pastors In America Are Selling Out

In this episode, I got to talk with Megan Basham. Megan is a culture reporter at the Daily Wire and has written for many publications including First Things, National Review, WORLD Magazine, The Telegraph, and The Wall Street Journal. She recently wrote a book called Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda.Megan and I discussed how “climate change” rhetoric and advocacy made its way into the American Evangelical church in the 1990s and how that started a widespread spiral toward a more liberal theology in the church. We also discussed her controversy with Christian apologist Gavin Ortlund. Megan talks about Timothy Keller and other prominent Christians in America and their equivocating theology that has become the mainstream theological approach for many young Christians. We finally discussed Megans own testimony and the proper Christian response to pastors and shepherds who are for sale: the true testimony of Jesus Christ.This is one of the most important books of the year, I hope you like this episode and buy a copy!
