We Are Now Offering Mentoring to Lifeway Executives
It shouldn’t surprise anyone that high-profile Christian business men would “leverage their ‘success’ as executives to project themselves as expert advice-givers to pastors,” as Ed Stetzer and Thom Rainer are doing. What is surprising, though, is that pastors would be interested in receiving advice on pastoring from business executives. According to Gideon Knox, both Stetzer […]
Lifeway: Jesus Wouldn’t Be Calling If They Really Had Doctrinal Guidelines
Bud Ahlheim tackles LifeWay Christian Resources’s announcement that they were pulling Jen Hatmaker’s books for publicaly declaring that she affirms homosexuality and gay “marriage.” According to Ahlheim, Lifeway deems it “inappropriate to sell an author with Scripturally-illicit views on homosexuality because of ‘doctrinal guidelines.’” So how is it, he wonders, that Lifeway finds it “doctrinally […]
Update: Lifeway Peddling Gay-Affirming Prosperity Preacher For Profit
Pulpit & Pen brings to our attention Ed Stetzer’s continuing lack of discernment.

How to Study the Bible – And How Not To

A No Holds Barred Response to Beth Moore’s “A Letter to My Brothers”
Bible study author, speaker and blogger Michelle Lesley was asked the following question: Did you see Beth Moore’s recent blog post “A Letter to My Brothers“? What do you think about what she said? Michelle was in no rush to respond, so her reply is very well-thought-out. As you will see, she offers her overall […]
A Naked Emperor in the Southern Baptist Convention
How long will it take before the Southern Baptist Convention disqualifies and/or disciplines some of its leaders such as Rick Warren, Andy Stanley & Beth Moore who are in blatant unrepentant sin, wonders Bible study author, speaker and blogger Michelle Lesley. “Is there any amount of sin these pastors and teachers, and those like them, […]
Evangelical rebel Jen Hatmaker deserved more from Politico than a puff piece
Journalist and author Julia Duin argues that Politico’s recent piece on “evangelical” Jen Hatmaker, who has become firmly ensconced in the Religious Left, didn’t get anywhere near the same scrutiny as those on the Religious Right receive in the articles written about them. “Why didn’t the writer of this fluff maintain at least some journalistic distance from her subject?” […]
Jen Hatmaker’s Revision of Truth
Lorie Alexander of The Transformed Wife tackles Emily McFarland Miller’s interview with Jen Hatmaker. Miller’s piece appeared in the progressive news site Religion News Service. Recently LifeWay Christian stores pulled Hatmaker’s books from its shelves over her very vocal and unbiblical stance on homosexuality — she believes gay relationships can be holy — so she has […]
