The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) is experiencing a shift towards theological and cultural liberalism, prompting the formation of @BaptistLeaders to counter this trend. Key figures like @William_E_Wolfe and @rhett_burns are advocating for a return to conservative values within the SBC, emphasizing the importance of theological purity and rejecting critical theory syncretism. @BaptistLeaders aims to revitalize the SBC and align with Southern Baptist political interests in Washington, D.C. Amid concerns of a 'woke' influence, the SBC faces internal divisions over theological principles and the role of critical theory.

Faithful, small-town Baptist pastor @rhett_burns lays out a big, bold vision for how the revitalization of Baptist churches might just be what our nation needs most right now.
