CEO of SBC Compares Churches Who Withhold Funds From Certain SBC Entities to Transgender Children

by | Sep 23, 2025 | News, Opinion, Religion

President of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee, Jeff Iorg, just gave Southern Baptists a masterclass in gaslighting. Standing before Southern Baptists, he literally wagged his finger at churches who refuse to hand over unrestricted Cooperative Program dollars and likened them to—brace yourself—children who think they can pick their own gender.

That’s right. If your church dares to say, “We’re not funding the ERLC’s leftist lobbying,” Iorg believes you’re drinking from the same poisoned well as drag queen story hour.

Let’s cut through the pious bluster. Southern Baptists aren’t designating funds because they’ve been bewitched by “expressive individualism.” They’re designating funds because the ERLC has been hijacked—turned into a progressive policy mill that pushes racialism, lobbies for open borders and gun control, and literally helps kill bills that would end abortion. Refusing to bankroll that isn’t rebellion, it’s duty.

And then there’s the North American Mission Board. NAMB burns through CP dollars on lavish leadership junkets, bankrolls woke pastors to plant woke churches, funds church plants with women pastors, and ships in loyal messengers to tip the scales at the annual meeting.

Zero accountability. Zero transparency. All on your dime.

This is why designated giving exists. It’s the safety valve against unchecked power, the one mechanism that says, “No, you don’t get to run wild with our money.” But in Iorg’s world, that’s not stewardship—it’s sin. He dresses it up with philosophical jargon, calling it “expressive individualism,” and then drives the dagger by equating it with the delusion that boys can be girls.

What he’s really saying is simple…stop asking questions, stop holding us accountable, and keep the cash flowing. Blind trust isn’t biblical. Blind trust isn’t Baptist. Blind trust is exactly how corrupt bureaucracies stay fat while the pews grow thin.

So no, Dr. Iorg. Refusing to bankroll rogue entities doesn’t put churches in league with the gender revolution. But demanding blind loyalty while comparing dissent to mutilating children? That sounds a whole lot like the very authoritarianism Baptists were born to resist.
