Earlier this year, in addition to Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church, the SBC expelled five churches from their convention because they had women pastors. Linda Barnes Popham, a pastor at one of these expelled churches, Fern Creek Baptist in Louisville, Ky, followed up by speaking out against this decision during an interview with NPR. Popham, who has been preaching at the church for 40 years, with 30 of those years as a pastor, asked the question: “why now?” stating that this was the first thought that came to her mind and the minds of many others when they received the news.

Popham, who claims to be a “conservative,” argues, as most leftists, racial instigators, and feminists do, that this decision is not just about Scripture, but about “power” and those in control of the SBC. “So therefore, it has to be more than that,” she said in the interview with NPR earlier this year. “It has to be something about power, those in control.”

Right. Well, she continued her tirade at the SBC annual meeting, and she was given the microphone for three minutes to make an appeal to the messengers for her church to remain in the SBC. And during her “sermon,” which she never actually got around to making her appeal, she blasted “extreme Calvinists” and used them as an example of why women should be able to preach in the SBC—because she disagrees with them.

“And I’ve served Fern Creek Baptist Church for over 40 years,” she ranted. “The last 33 preaching the Word of God. So why now? We’re not here to seek any of you to convince any of you to allow your church to have women pastors.”

“That’s not the issue here. We disagree with some of you in your faith practice. I mean, look at you extreme Calvinist. I don’t agree with you. Look at all of you who closed your churches during COVID.”

Ultimately, she had the mic cut off on her, thankfully.
