The ERLC was in no way involved in the passage of this bill. When the public debates were being held and the rallies were taking place to gin up public support, they were not a part of it, though it was happening in their own backyard.

The same goes for Tennessee’s drag show legislation and efforts to name the month of July a month of prayer and fasting. Tennessee legislators tell me they have received no support from the ERLC on those measures either.

But they did try to whip up support for another bill in Tennessee. A gun control bill. So they WILL throw their efforts behind state level legislation when it suits them, but they did not in this case, and they should not be taking a victory lap.

Yesterday at #SBC2025, @tomascol and I visited the ERLC booth. We were disappointed to learn that Brent Leatherwood had no plans to make himself available at the booth to Messengers, not even briefly.

We had a pleasant conversation with the booth staff. These are young men and women who love Christ and are doing what ERLC leaders have asked of them. Frankly, they deserve better leadership.

They deserve a president who won’t hide (like Leatherwood, and Moore before him) while controversy unfolds. Frontline staff should not be left to absorb the cost of failed leadership.

That’s one of many reasons I plan to vote yes on the first of two motions to abolish the ERLC. It starts the clock. It sends a clear message: the status quo is not acceptable, and must change.

If the ERLC is to exist, it must be reformed from the top. The current leadership does not serve the best interests of Southern Baptists—or of its own staff. We can and must do better.

It’s past time for a “non-firebrand” SBC leader to stand up & lead the charge on abolishing the ERLC, demanding transparency by entities, & passing the Law Amendment.

Is there any such leader left with sufficient courage?

Since I’ve been asked multiple times…no I do not support the ERLC and believe the organization has been the single most divisive entity of the SBC since the days of Russell Moore. I believe it should be de funded. I’m sure this is the reason I was not asked to sign this letter….Ive been clear on this for a decade.

Here’s a quick example of how ERLC sold out SBC churches.

The @ERLC is less than irrelevant. It takes Southern Baptist tithes & offerings & squanders them on photo-ops & ignoring concerns of SBC churches. There is no recovering from this expose by @megbasham. https://t.co/68iBPbLOcc

Went to an estate sale. Always a sobering experience. Someone’s entire life, all their prized possessions, knick knacks, tools and toys all on display, hundreds of circling people, picking pieces off the corpse like buzzards.

Life is short, you can’t take the stuff with you.

[Tom Ascol @tomascol @tomascol]

A PSA 🧵to every @SBCExecComm related entity. It is time for transparency. Many have called for it for years & an increasing number of SBC pastors & church members are joining the chorus. The old ways of operating are over. The 11th Commandment has become a tool for coverup. 1/9

The Christian Super Bowl Ad They SHOULD Have Made (2025 Edition)

Sadly the group known as 'He Gets Us' released another advert that missed the mark this year. Here's one that hopefully better reflects the true greatness to which Christ calls us.

To fully understand just how remarkable today’s exchange with Colombia was, you need to understand how Washington DC has traditionally worked through these sorts of issues, and the different way it works now under Trump.

I’ll illustrate.

Traditional Approach:

1. Colombia announces it will not take our repatriation flights.
2. On Monday, the State Department convenes an interagency task force with DoD, NSC, DEA, INS, ICE, Commerce, Treasury and Homeland Security.
3. The task force meets for four days and develops a position paper.
4. The position paper is rejected by the Secretary of State, who is unhappy that insufficient equity considerations are built into the process.
5. The task force reconvenes a week later to redevelop three new, equity-centric courses of action and create a new position paper.
6. The process is delayed a week because Washington DC gets three inches of snow.
7. SecState approves the new position paper for interagency circulation, and considerable input is received from the heads of other departments so the task force must reconvene.
8. The original three proposed responsive courses of action are scrapped in favor of a new, fourth course of action that achieves the worst aspects of the three prior courses of action but satisfies the interagency.
9. Someone in State who disagrees leaks to the Washington Post, who writes a story about how ineffective the Presidential administration is.
10. The White House Chief of Staff sets up a session three days later to brief the President, who approves the new fourth course of action.
11. Over a month after the issue is first raised, the State Department Public Affairs Officer holds a press conference announcing that Colombia has agreed to try to send fewer criminals into the US and everyone declares victory.

Trump Approach:

1. Colombia announces it will not take our repatriation flights.
2. After a par-5 third hole where he goes one under par, Trump uses his iPhone to post on social media as to how the USA will destroy Colombia’s economy if they do not do what the USA demands.
3. By the time Trump gets to the par-4 sixth hole, Colombia’s President has agreed to repatriate all the illegal Colombians in his own plane, which he will pay for.
4. Trump finishes three under par and goes to the clubhouse for a Diet Coke where he posts a gangsta AI image of himself and the new FAFO Doctrine.
5. Winning.

See the difference? It’s called LEADERSHIP.
