William Wolfe discusses the need for the SBC’s revitalization and reform in Plain Speech Podcast

In the April 30 episode of the Plain Speech Podcast on YouTube, William Wolfe of the Center for Baptist Leadership (CBL), discusses the need for revitalization and reform within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). Wolfe emphasizes the importance of returning to scriptural fidelity and addressing theological drift of the denomination. He highlights the rich history of the SBC, while acknowledging declining membership and internal divisions.

Included in the discussion is the importance of the Law Amendment, financial transparency, combating wokeness within the church, and the crucial presidential election — all issues expected to be addressed at the upcoming SBC Annual Meeting in Indianapolis.

Wolfe advocates for discernment, rejecting theological liberalism, and maintaining a clear gospel focus in the face of challenges infiltrating some SBC circles. He stresses the need to engage with cultural issues while remaining grounded in biblical truth.
