You may remember Jamal Bryant, a master manipulator who cloaks his racial demagoguery in the theatrics of a charismatic preacher. I’ve written about him before. From comparing Kamala Harris to Esther to proposing marijuana farms on church property, Bryant has never...
JT Inglish, lead pastor of Storyline Church in Arvada, Colorado, has been appointed to serve on the SBC’s Committee on Committees for the 2025 annual meeting. This influential position helps shape the future leadership of the denomination, making it all the more...
The lights dim. A soft purple haze spreads across the stage, a carefully manufactured mist rising from hidden fog machines like some mystical veil between heaven and earth. The lead singer, a guy with the vocal timbre of a teenage boy penning poetry in his journal,...
Paula White is trash. There, I said it. She's a false teacher, a peddler of snake oil, a carnival barker draped in pseudo-Christian robes, hawking a gospel of greed with all the theological depth of a used car salesman promising that a lemon will last forever. She is...
If we’ve seen nothing in the last decade or so, we’ve seen a massive influx of cultural decline and gender confusion. In the midst of this, soon-to-be Vice President JD Vance strides onto the battlefield like a general rallying his troops. Speaking at CPAC, he didn’t...
Wheaton College, a school that was once known for its firm stance on biblical orthodoxy, now serves as an all-you-can-eat buffet for theological drift. The latest spectacle? David Bennett, a Revoice speaker, prancing onto the stage in an exaggerated, overtly feminine...
Jessica Bates was a mother of five, a woman who knew what it meant to love, to sacrifice, to open her home to those in need. She wasn’t asking for much—just the chance to take in a child from Oregon’s foster care system, a system that, incidentally, never seems to...
Mike Todd has been off the radar for a while, but every now and then, he rears his head, begging for a response to something so cringeworthy—and blasphemous—that it demands attention. You may remember Mike Todd from that time he turned tithing into a million-dollar...
There was a time when mocking God was a dangerous business. There was a time when scorning His people carried a cost. And there was a time when conservative Christians in America weren’t the preferred punching bags of Hollywood’s sneering elites. But that time is long...
Rick Warren stepped in it, and now he’s scrambling to clean up the mess. A few days ago, he tweeted out a mind-numbingly shallow take, twisting John 19:18 into a ham-fisted political metaphor, suggesting that the "real Jesus," because he was crucified between two...
Rick Warren has never been known for theological depth, but every once in a while, he manages to produce something so astoundingly ridiculous that it demands a response. His latest tweet is a shining example. In a bizarre attempt at political commentary, Warren claims...
The Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) is, at this point, nothing more than a self-righteous speed bump on the road to actual justice. And at the helm of this sputtering, compromised machine sits Brent Leatherwood, the kind...
In the ancient world, the sick and dying would embark on desperate pilgrimages to the sanctuaries of Asclepius, the Greek god of healing. These were not hospitals. These were temples—shrines of mysticism where hope and illusion walked hand in hand. Scattered across...
I previously wrote to you demonstrating how the Democrat-backed federal government has been laundering money through USAID and other taxpayer-funded slush funds, funneling it into the hands of anti-American, anti-conservative faux Christian ministries like The After...
I hesitate to continue writing about Donald Trump, as I want to be clear that I do not view him as any kind of messianic figure, savior of the nation, or a “Christian” hero. He is not—he is simply the result of a nation that is, if nothing but for a momentary reprieve...
There’s a cabal of evangelical leftists parading around as champions of compassion—valiant knights charging into battle against the cold-hearted, unfeeling forces that dare to suggest a sovereign nation not only has the right but the duty to control its own borders....
It was only a matter of time before Bethel Church, the grand cathedral of charismatic charlatanry, decided to throw one of its own to the wolves. And who better than Shawn Bolz—a man whose entire career has been built on the kind of “prophecy” that conveniently aligns...
Leftists love them some Jesus—so long as He can be twisted into a progressive mascot for their latest political crusade. But the moment He starts talking about sin, repentance, or judgment, they promptly shove Him back into the box labeled "outdated religious figure."...
For years, the federal government has indulged in a fantasy—one where reality is subjective, identity is fluid, and personal validation is the highest virtue. But not anymore. In a simple yet profound executive order, President Trump has done what should have been...
I ran across a tweet this morning, and the reality struck me—I couldn't argue against this fact. It read: The sheer weight of that number is staggering. Nine thousand innocent lives snuffed out in the span of a few days, while the so-called “pro-life” movement claps...
Leftists and LGBT activists are predictably losing their collective minds over Idaho’s new resolution against Obergefell v. Hodges, and frankly, it’s a spectacle worthy of popcorn. Like vampires hissing at the sunlight, homosexuals, queers, and every sexual...
Former Vice President Mike Pence, in an interview with Russell Moore—the former chief of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission—praised Jimmy Carter for being a "born-again Christian" and even admitted to voting for him during his...
Michael Jackson moonwalked his way into the hearts of millions, perhaps billions, of people around the globe, a glittering icon who could do no wrong in the eyes of his adoring fans. They cheered, screamed, and wept at the mere sight of him, entranced by the aura of...
For centuries, at least in the West, the church held an unparalleled position of trust and reverence. They were seen as the stewards of moral clarity in a world ever-increasing in cultural chaos. They were the shepherds who guided their flocks with conviction and...

“Reverend” Caroline Unzaga—ever heard of her? No? Well, that's understandable, given that she's the latest in a long line of clergy more interested in appeasing the ever-ravenous gods of wokeness than actually preaching the gospel, not that she’s qualified to do so....
During the Protestant Reformation, the cry "No Peace with Rome" echoed like a thunderclap across Europe, a bold declaration by those who refused to compromise with the corruption and heresy festering within the Roman Catholic Church. The reformers knew that to align...
In a performance worthy of her self-anointed status as America’s spiritual guide, Oprah Winfrey took the stage at the DNC to deliver what can only be described as a sermon on the sanctity of abortion. With the gravitas of a high priestess delivering her divine...
In the latest chapter of the DNC’s ongoing saga of spectacular contradictions and performative wokeness, we are now treated to the marvel of a "gender-neutral prayer room" at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. It’s bad enough that the women’s...
You know it’s time to grab the nearest wall to bang your head against when you hear the latest news from Christianity Today. In a move that makes you question whether they’ve completely lost their minds—or perhaps their Bibles—the once-somewhat respected, somewhat...
Phil Vischer, the creator of the children’s cartoon series VeggieTales—who is now better known for peddling bad doctrine under the guise of Christian-themed entertainment—has taken a nosedive into the depths of woke madness. Vischer has solidified his place among the...
Historically, Christianity was the foundation of Western civilization, shaping its very core with civilization drawing from its worldview—everything from science to business ethics to sound logic and reason. But today, a sinister new cult has slithered into every...
That places parading as "churches" have handed themselves over to Satan and his legion of homosexual sycophants isn't exactly breaking news anymore. These dens of iniquity, teeming with demonic influence, proudly flaunt their "gay pride" as if it were a divine...
Over the last year or so, we’ve been reporting that the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the Southern Baptist Convention, had adopted a new mantra in its abortion rhetoric—“making abortion unthinkable.” Yet, the ERLC, under the guise of defending...
In June 2023, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) appeared to take what we thought might be a decisive stand against the creeping influence of progressivism within its ranks by voting to amend its constitution to explicitly ban women pastors. What turned out to be...
Missouri's Amendment 3—the latest brainchild of the so-called "champions of freedom," who seem to have mistaken a graveyard for the land of the free and the home of the brave. Here we go again, with the same old song and dance, where "reproductive rights" apparently...
Evangelicalism’s “White Guilt” apostle, Latasha Morrison—what can be said that isn’t already obvious to anyone paying attention? She’s the founder of "Be the Bridge," a so-called Christian organization that is primarily concerned with cultivating white guilt within...
Imagine, if you will, a group of people so detached from reality that they’ve decided Kamala Harris—a politician whose life and career is a veritable checklist of anti-Christian sentiment and policies—is actually a "faithful and committed Christian." Enter...
The Gospel Coalition (TGC) is one of the Evangelical’s trunk lines for piping in worldliness and carnality straight into the heart of the church. If the three-ring circus that operates the organization isn’t busy finding gospel themes in Barbie or comparing Taylor...
Welcome to Part II of our ongoing series dissecting JD Greear's response to Megan Basham’s book, Shepherds for Sale. In Part I, we tackled Greear's contention regarding his infamous statement that the Bible "whispers" about sexual sin. We exposed how Greear, rather...
Have you ever seen those montages of local television news stations that repeat nearly identical talking points on each one? It’s almost like they’re all taking orders from some hidden higher authority and their words are being beamed down to them from a starship and...
JD Greear has stepped up to the plate in an attempt to defend his reputation against Megan Basham’s allegations in Shepherds for Sale, but his response is more akin to a magician's sleight of hand than a genuine rebuttal. In an article titled “An Open Response to...
The women's rights movement began with a seemingly noble intention—to ensure that women were treated with dignity and respect and that they had the right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness just as any man should. It was a battle against what an increasingly...
Did you know that there's actually a "Christians for Kamala" conference? Yes, you read that right. In the ever-bizarre world of progressive Christianity, this event is being billed as a gathering of believers united in support of Kamala Harris.I couldn’t believe it...
NAR "prophet" and "apostle," Rick Joyner, says we don't have to worry, because he’s been hanging out in heaven where everything is just peachy. While the world faces genuine crises, Joyner is busy taking celestial vacations and bringing back "revelations" that...
JD Greear is running for cover on social media as he is being exposed for the compromised, faux “shepherd” that he is. A clip was posted on X yesterday where Greear admits during a sermon that there are people who attend his church that also work in abortion...
In the recent Christian social media sphere, a lot has been stirred up about climate change. Voices from all corners are demanding us to take action, citing “scientific” studies and dire predictions of an impending global catastrophe. But let's pause and think—does...
The Olympic boxing match between Angela Carini and Imane Khelif is a dramatic, yet realistic illustration of celebrated violence against women, all in the name of “progress.”Imane Khelif, a biological male who failed gender eligibility tests at the 2023 World...

In the escalating conflict between religion, biblical Christianity in particular, and the ever-evolving tides of Secularism, the distinction has never been more profound or more critical. Biblical Christianity, which is anchored in the sovereignty and lordship of...

You may remember the scuffle in February regarding John MacArthur's comments on Martin Luther King, saying that King was "not a Christian at all." Following his remarks about honoring Dr. R.C. Sproul who had passed away recently and was honored at the T4G Conference,...
We at The Dissenter have been warning about The Gospel Coalition (TGC) and its clones like Together for the Gospel (T4G) for years and years upon years ago, we concluded that these organizations were compromised in such a way that they shouldn’t even be called...
Back in 2022, Southern Baptists were surprised by the sudden resignation of Adam Greenway, former president of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (SWBTS). Greenway, who had long been known for his left-leaning theological views and fierce advocacy for women...
We've repeatedly heard the clarion calls from the progressive Evangelical bridge-builders like David Platt and JD Greear who have tried to persuade civil disagreement between politically progressive and conservatives in the public square. The mantra oft-repeated has...
by Tom Hill Bible Text: Isaiah 59:1-2 Mankind rejects the idea of the wrath of God against sin. They say that it does not fit God's character. They distinguish between the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament. The tribal God of the Old Testament...
In our modern "American Christianity" religio-political landscape, there's a trendy but wrong-headed chorus echoing from the left. The Bible, they claim, is practically a blueprint for a government-run welfare stystem. With zeal, they point to verses championing the...
In an incident that exhibits the growing tensions between genderqueer theory and objective morality rooted in Christian beliefs in our society, Victoria Culf, a Christian artist in Britain, has initiated legal proceedings against Watford Borough Council. This legal...
It's been a while since I've covered anything that Southern Baptist pastor, Dwight McKissic has said. It's mainly because everything he says, no matter how outlandish it is, he's already said before and it just really isn't newsworthy. But I ran across another tweet...
In an era where the identity politics playbook is seemingly rewritten daily, the latest Gallup poll's findings—that 7.6% of U.S. adults now identify as LGBTQ+—is less a statistic and more a cultural bellwether. It's like a canary in the coal mine for traditional...
After 169 years, Spurgeon’s College has shut its doors. The official reason given is financial strain, but let’s not act like we didn’t know this was coming. This wasn’t a spreadsheet accident. It was a self-inflicted wound, an institutional suicide stunt. And Rick...
Good riddance. That’s the only fitting response to the news that Brent Leatherwood has finally resigned from his post as president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. For years, Southern Baptists have been told to treat this bloated appendage of the...
Pastor Luke Ash lost his job at a public library in Louisiana for refusing to play pretend. That’s the story in its simplest, clearest form. He wouldn’t call a woman a man. He wouldn’t lie. And for that unpardonable sin against the Church of Woke Inclusivity, he was...
At this year’s Belfast Pride parade, a clown dressed as “Jesus”—mock crown of thorns and all—danced through the streets, high-fiving other sodomites while the crowd applauded. This is a clear act of deliberate blasphemy against God, yet, nobody batted an eye. Because...
The pictures of that child—they are almost too much to stomach. The poor kid is wide-eyed, bewildered, and smothered in counterfeit affection. These are not accidents of fate, they are the fruit of a poisoned tree. And the name of that tree is Obergefell v. Hodges....
The connections between Mormonism and Freemasonry are about as subtle as a neon sign in a pitch-black desert. Some people act like it’s some deep, conspiratorial discovery that Joseph Smith, the so-called “prophet,” borrowed heavily from the secret handshakes and...
In a scene that could easily double as a sketch from a late-night comedy show, a white pastor in a church-branded t-shirt strolls the sidewalks of Albany, posing, smiling wide, and handing out brand new Nikes to black kids like some corporate-funded Saint Nick. Not...
It takes a certain kind of brainpower to stumble headfirst into heresy while thinking you’ve just unlocked the deepest philosophical vault in heaven. But that’s exactly what William Lane Craig does with his recent theological gymnastics. Craig is so smart, he’s...
The image says it all. Wembley Way—that grand corridor of British pride leading up to the iconic Wembley Stadium—now draped not in the Union Jack, not in team colors, not even in neutral, celebratory decoration. No, the entire promenade has been lined, lockstep and in...
At a highly popular New Zealand megachurch, Grace Vineyard Church, Easter Sunday isn’t about the resurrection of Christ. It’s about choreography, costume robes, and turning the King of kings into a glorified boy band frontman. In a recent stunt, they performed a...
He was the last of a dying breed—a pastor who not only knew what he believed, but believed what he knew. John Fullerton MacArthur Jr., born in 1939, didn’t just walk into history; he stormed in like a theological tempest. While most pastors today tiptoe through the...
It wasn’t that long ago when the names Chip and Joanna Gaines conjured images of shiplap walls, farmhouse sinks, and a squeaky-clean, down-home Christian family just trying to “do life” together while remodeling your grandmother’s kitchen. They rose to fame as the...

Richard B. Hays, a New Testament scholar, was a heavyweight who began his career with what seemed like a solid foundation in conservative biblical theology. His earlier works ostensibly reflected, at least on the surface, a commitment to biblical accuracy. But...

Former President Jimmy Carter passed away on December 29, 2024, at the age of 100 in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. He was the longest-living U.S. president and had been in hospice care since February 2023. Carter served as the 39th President of the United States...
In 2022, Prestonwood Baptist Church, a Southern Baptist megachurch in Texas, put on a Christmas performance featuring none other than a flying Santa Claus. In what was supposed to be a celebration of the birth of Christ, the sanctuary became a theater for holiday...
Church on the Move, a “church” in Tulsa, Oklahoma puts on a spectacle worthy of nothing but condemnation during Christmas. Instead of drawing people toward the glory of Christ and the reality of what His incarnation means for humanity, productions like this cheapen...
David Hughes, the “pastor” of SBC Megachurch, Church by the Glades in Coral Springs, FL, has turned this “church” into nothing short of a circus. Instead of feeding souls with the gospel, as usual, they were more concerned with putting on a show. When a church trades...
Denzel Washington’s baptism at the Kelly Temple Church of God in Christ (COGIC) in Harlem on December 21, 2024, has made headlines across the religious and secular worlds alike. Touted as a significant spiritual milestone, the event was live-streamed—for maximum...
Jimmy Carter is a name synonymous with many things—39th President of the United States, peanut farmer, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and self-professed devout Christian. Yet, for all the accolades and self-proclaimed humility that have long bolstered his reputation, his...
Joshua Harris—a name that once graced bestseller lists and pulpits—has long been a illustration of peril for those wary of celebrity Christianity. Even before his public renunciation of the faith, many of us saw the writing on the wall. The Christian world has...
In yet another alarming display of the complete implosion of public education, Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, California, has become the latest example of why parents must abandon these so-called schools—better described as ideological grooming centers—once...
A transforming Christ-meets-mecha toy? Yes, the “Jesus Mecha Christ” transforming toy actually exists. It's like someone sat down and said, “How can I mock both God and basic decency in one fell swoop?” This isn’t art or satire—it’s an abomination born from the unholy...
Previously, I wrote an article calling for discernment while scrutinizing the lyrics of the popular Christmas song, Mary Did You Know? I knew it would be a provocative piece, as it was meant to be. However, my intent was not to dissuade you from enjoying these tunes,...
The Christmas season has a way of draping everything in nostalgia. Familiar carols, the warm glow of lights, and the cozy rituals of family traditions tend to stir something deep within us. But more often than not, I hear a song that makes me stop and think—sometimes...
The birth of Christ is, without question, the most significant event in human history—a moment that split time itself into “before” and “after.” And yet, every year, we watch the world reduce it to a garish spectacle of consumerism. The celebration of Christ’s...
