  • Crushing

    Something so deeply missing in the core of the universe that the crushing blow of God’s indictment would have to be felt by all those in this world who believe that we have a moral obligation to protect the people who have lost our souls to God’s wrath in this cruel world.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dr. Hollingsworth on what he learned leading the ERLC
Q: What are you most hopeful for in the ERLC's future under new leadership?
A renewed, unified voice among Southern Baptists, a steadying nonpartisan influence in public discourse, and continued, expanded support for pastors and churches through ERLC resources and partnerships.
Dr. Hollingsworth on what he learned leading the ERLC
Q: What did you not know about the ERLC before taking the interim role, and how has your perspective grown?
I learned there is far more depth behind the scenes than a high-level overview suggested; the ERLC's work is broad and resource-rich, and the impact comes from coordinated efforts with a strong network of churches, states, and policy engagement.
Dr. Nathan Lorick on Equipping SBC Churches in Texas
Q: What needs do you foresee for ERLC-state collaboration going forward, and how can ERLC better support SBTC churches?
Closer, ongoing collaboration on creating state-focused guides and materials, stronger communication about federal policy implications, and jointly developing resources that help churches equip their people for everyday conversations about hot topics with Gospel-centered grace.
Dr. Nathan Lorick on Equipping SBC Churches in Texas
Q: Could you explain the Paxton case and how Texas guidance on age verification became a model for federal consideration?
The Paxton case secured age-verification safeguards to prevent teenagers from accessing pornography; it served as a model for how state-level policy work can influence broader policy, with pastors encouraged to engage legislators and advocate for protections.
Dr. Nathan Lorick on Equipping SBC Churches in Texas
Q: Four areas you mentioned—life, liberty, family, and dignity of life—how can the ERLC best come alongside Texas pastors in these areas?
The ERLC should provide practical tools, guides, and materials to help churches address hot-button topics, while maintaining biblical truth and providing pathways to engage respectfully and effectively with their constituencies.
