The SBC's decline corresponds with the shift towards fundamentalism and away from evangelicalism. What was a big-tent conservative group is becoming a narrow fundamentalist group. I do not anticipate the SBC changing course any time soon. Thus, declines will continue. #SBC24
There's a lot of media coverage of the Southern Baptist Convention because it serves as a bellwether for evangelicalism. But the share of all evangelicals who are Southern Baptist is declining, from 23% to 18%. In 1984, 5% of evangelicals were non-denom. In 2022, it was 40%.

Today, @LeatherwoodERLC and @hannahedaniel met with the Minister of Public Diplomacy at the Israeli embassy. They discussed the ways in which the SBC, in fulfillment of several resolutions, can support the nation of Israel, and all Jewish people around the globe.

Tomorrow marks the celebration of Christ’s resurrection, observed by Christians for over 2000 years. By making this proclamation for Easter Sunday, the current US President has dishonored and disrespected Jesus Christ and every Christian, not only in this nation, but worldwide.

So thankful for the friendship and leadership of @kevezell in my life. He took an early morning flight from Georgia to TX just to spend time and encourage me over lunch during a very difficult time. Blown away by that. Absolutely love being a part of the @NAMB_SBC family. – at Rockwall, TX

Americans deserve to know that their elections are secure. We must restore faith in the ability to conduct free and fair elections in this country. This is why I introduced the Citizen Ballot Protection Act. altoday.com/archives/52284-g…

220 Southern Baptist volunteers are responding to tornado damage across several states this week. Yesterday, Send Relief sent a semi-truck full of temporary roofing supplies to support the SBDR response in Texas & Oklahoma. 🙏 Pray for the heroes in yellow shirts as they serve!

Dogs are gonna bark. Sinners are gonna sin. Secular companies are going to cave to cultural norms. But are saints going to shine? Are believers going to speak the truth in love? Is the church going to share the Gospel with boldness and compassion in the midst of the mayhem? – at Arvada, CO
