Two Pastor’s Take On Oliver Anthony
Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
Tuesday Aug 22, 2023
The singer, who has the hottest song in the nation right now, is not some Nashville superstar or pop sensation. The singer who has the most popular music on all platforms is a young man from the hills of Virginia named Oliver Anthony. His music has received tens of millions of downloads in just the past two to three weeks! His most popular song, "Rich Men North of Richmond," is huge, gaining a listenership that crosses all social and ethnic boundaries. It speaks about how the working class is severely taxed by the politicians north of Richmond (Washington DC). However, not everyone is singing his praises for various reasons. In this episode, Wade Lentz and Harold Smith give their opinion of the song from their pastoral perspective. Tell us your thoughts about Anthony's music; we'd love to hear from you!

Wednesday Jun 14, 2023
Wednesday Jun 14, 2023
In this special edition of the Patriot Pastor's Podcast, we recap the events of #SBC23 in New Orleans. We talk about many of the low and some of the high moments that are commendable.
We discuss:
1) The outcome of the SBC Presidential race between Mike Stone and the incumbent Bart Barber.
2) The president of Lifeway, Ben Mandrell, whose mind is set that Lifeway will continue to sell material that does not align with the Baptist Faith and Message.
3) Todd Unzicker's very divisive sermon that was preached where he pointed his finger at many outspoken conservatives.
4) The messenger's overwhelming support to disfellowship with three SBC churches, one being Rick Warren's Saddleback Church over women pastors.
5) Mike Law's amendment to the Baptist Faith and Message which beefs up the wording stating that only men can be pastors.

SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE Review #Dugger #Gothard #BillGothard #Gothardism #Cult
Thursday Jun 08, 2023
Thursday Jun 08, 2023
In this episode, Wade Lentz and Harold Smith discuss and review the new documentary "Shiny Happy People" on Amazon Prime. A documentary that exposes Bill Gothard and the fundamental Christian movement he founded in the 1960s. This documentary reveals several theological inconsistencies that Bill Gothard taught as truth. As well as many ethical and immoral behavior allegedly committed by Bill Gothard himself. We chose to speak about this documentary to point out the dangers of following movements led by an individual not held accountable by a local church.
