Summary
On this very special episode we dig into the takeover of the Southern Baptist convention and analyze how it is a preview our current right wing take over of the country as well as its juicy Left Behind connections. This should be a niche topic that folks hear about, are aghast by and move on from but unfortunately taking over a branch of a Baptist denomination was only the beginning and, even more unfortunately, was only trial run of their tactics. Fascinating stuff.
