Exposing The Spiritual Malpractice of Southern Baptists and The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors

Last updated on: September 22, 2015 at 10:12 am By Brandan Robertson

The Association of Certified Biblical Counselors will be hosting a series of conferences next month on the topics of “Homosexuality” and “Transgender Confusion” at Southern Seminary, the largest seminary in the world with over 3,000 students in enrollment. These conferences come after a series of other events earlier this year hosted by (primarily) Southern Baptist and fundamentalist Evangelical leaders around the country hoping to help equip evangelicals how to respond to and defend the church against the “gay revolution.” Last October,...

My Hope for the Pope: On Pope Francis’ Visit to the United States

Last updated on: September 18, 2015 at 11:39 am By Brandan Robertson

Francis is coming! Francis is coming! Living in the heart of downtown Washington D.C. its hard to go anywhere without hearing the buzz about the arrival of Pope Francis in just a few days. It’s quite stunning, when you think about it. What other religious leaders visit has inspired such responsiveness? There is something truly amazing about Pope Francis that has gripped the soul of America, and next week millions of people will turn out at various locations around D.C.... Read more

Kim Davis, the Conservative Agenda, and Religious Liberty

Last updated on: September 8, 2015 at 8:31 pm By Brandan Robertson

For the past two days, my newsfeed on Facebook has been filled with posts and comments about the arrest of Kim Davis, the court clerk from Kentucky who was imprisoned on Thursday for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in her county, despite the Supreme Court’s ruling for equality and direct orders from a judge to resume issuing licenses. As soon as Davis’s arrest was announced, the conservative media blew up with cries of persecution, calling Davis a... Read more

How Kim Davis’s Imprisonment Is A Win for Religious Liberty

Last updated on: September 3, 2015 at 9:42 pm By Brandan Robertson

It finally happened. On the morning of September 3, 2015, Federal Marshalls placed Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to LGBTQ couples, under arrest for contempt of court. Davis had been refusing to issue licenses in her county for weeks, arguing that she shouldn’t be forced to issue licenses to same-sex couples because it violated her Christian faith. Her case made it all the way to the Supreme Court, who turned down her ruling, and... Read more

Ashley Madison and the Sanctity of Marriage

Last updated on: September 1, 2015 at 7:00 am By Brandan Robertson

Ashley Madison. Two words that are continually floating around the evangelical world this week. Two words that are causing unimaginable anxiety and fear to rise in the hearts of so many evangelical leaders and laypeople alike. Two words that are highlighting all of our propensity to stumble and fall in our moments of greatest stress and greatest weakness. In the past few weeks, we have heard the confessions of some of the pastors, political leaders, and theologians that have shaped... Read more

How The Eucharist Will Save Us All

Last updated on: August 26, 2015 at 10:55 am By Brandan Robertson

If you grew up in a Baptist church like I did, then you know that Baptist’s like to eat. Any and every time there is an occasion worth celebrating, a good Baptist church will call for a time of “fellowship”. All of the Baptists moms would go home to their kitchens and begin whipping up one of their favorite recipes, usually something quite unhealthy, but quite tasty. The morning of the “fellowship” an endless stream of women head downstairs with... Read more

Shall The Fundamentalists Win? (On Being Evangelical, Part 2)

Last updated on: August 14, 2015 at 3:28 pm By Brandan Robertson

Earlier today, I sat down at my desk and began reading Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick’s famous sermon, “Shall the Fundamentalists Win?” I had never read this sermon before, because in my conservative world, I was taught to think of Fosdick as a heretic rendering his ideas and work were unworthy of my engagement. But somehow, through my scrolling through Google today, I landed on this sermon and I began to read it. Of all the eras of modern history, the one... Read more

Brandan Interviewed by John Fugelsang About Being An Evangelical

Last updated on: August 13, 2015 at 3:48 pm By Brandan Robertson

Hey friends! Just wanted to share with you a few clips from my interview with the hilarious John Fugelsang’s show, Tell Me Everything, on SiriusXM Insight. If you know anything about John, he is a brilliant comedian and cultural commentator who comes from a conservative religious background and often pokes fun at narrow religion as a way of communicating the power of the actual teachings of Christ. This was my second time on John’s show and every time we chat we... Read more

3 Reminders for Christians During the Election Season

Last updated on: August 7, 2015 at 10:35 am By Brandan Robertson

As our nation enters in to what is likely to be one of the most exhilarating and discouraging election cycles in recent history, it’s going to be easy for Christians to either be enraptured by the fluffy political prose of their favorite candidate or completely discouraged and downcast at the sad state of the American political process. I know we are only just beginning the race for the presidency, but I feel compelled to offer a few reminders to American... Read more

Laying Down Our Arms (On Culture Wars)

Last updated on: August 4, 2015 at 11:20 am By Brandan Robertson

During the summer of my freshman year in college, I went on a choir tour to Greece and Cyprus. One of the memories that was seared deep onto my mind was something a tour guide told us during our tour of Athens. After climbing up the long, rugged staircase that leads to the Acropolis that stands mightily above the city of Athens, we stopped and looked out over the ancient city. The view was breathtaking. As we began to wander... Read more
