  • Fire

    No one else is doing the work that CBL is. I personally would have given up on the SBC years. But I salute the dogged energy William brings to the fight as create a rallying point for Baptists who want to see a healthy and faithful SBC.

    Compelling convos you won’t hear ANYWHERE else.

  • In depth and compelling

    One of the things I really enjoy about the CBL podcast is that it goes in depth with insiders. The people who are actually moving policy and behind the scenes in the institutions.

    Really helpful to hear their perspectives.
