UMC Repeals Ban on LGBT Clergy, Rising Syncretism in the U.S., Eric Metaxas Issues Wake-Up Call for America

Top headlines for Thursday, May 2, 2024

In this episode, we explore the United Methodist General Conference's landmark decision to end a long-standing ban on ordaining pastors in romantic same-sex relationships, a move following the departure of numerous conservative congregations. We then examine a revealing survey that highlights how only 6% of Christians maintain a Biblical worldview amidst a growing trend of syncretism among Americans. 

In addition, we discuss the alarming trend in the U.S. birth rate, which has continued its decline, reaching a multi-decade low in 2023. Finally, bestselling author Eric Metaxas shares a dire warning in his new book, Religionless Christianity, urging American Christians to confront the escalating evils threatening their country.
