Ep 34: Can We Trust Our Pastors? – Part 2: Twisting Scripture in the Pulpit

from The Balance of Gray · host Stephen Stewart

Part 2 zooms in on the pastoral world—where even respected voices can bend God’s Word to fit cultural comfort. Using Rick Warren’s take on 1 Timothy 2:12 as a case study, Steve shows how subtle tactics, scholarly echo chambers, and misplaced trust can shift entire congregations. The takeaway? Know God’s Word for yourself, so you can spot deception before it takes root.News (1:40)Topic (12:05)links:Mike Winger’s breakdown:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvLqRpGCayA&authuser=0 Rick Warren interview – Theology in the Raw:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/theology-in-the-raw/id1018952191?i=1000623650790Women Pastors and Saddleback Getting Kicked out of the SBC: Dr. Rick WarrenSend us Fan MailWelcome to the Gray Zone!
