No Women Pastors: The SBC’S Future Depends on It | No. 20

Listen to this episode from The Grimké Podcast on Spotify. The “Baptist Faith & Message 2000”—the unified statement of faith for Southern Baptists (SBC) —is clear: “No Women Pastors.” So, why are Southern Baptists at a loss to stem the egalitarian tide? This week, the profs discuss the aftermath of the SBC’s latest meeting in Dallas, TX (June 10–11, 2025) and the failure of the Law-Sanchez Amendment. The profs offer insight into the underlying causes of the liberal/leftward shift along with helpful critiques and correctives.THE MEN’S CONFERENCE IS FAST-APPROACHING.✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christianity Tomorrow: Hope in Compromised Times⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✦ July 28–30, 2025 in Richmond, VA✦ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get Tickets Now⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CHAPTERS.(00:00) Coming Up...(00:58) Intros: Revisiting the Salute(02:20) Why Care about the SBC?
