Founders Ministries recently released a trailer for their forthcoming “cinedoc” that seems to focus on the dangerous presence of liberalism in its various forms present in the church today. Many took issue with the trailer’s tone and some of its content. We discuss that here. In light of the public outcry concerning the trailer many waited for an apology to be issued by Founders Ministries. On July 29th Pastor Tom Ascol, President of Founders Ministries, released a statement detailing the release and the push back of the trailer. There was no apology made in the article, but rather an explanation of their actions and perspective on the matter. Joe and Jimmy sat down to record a bonus episode talking about Founders’ statement, where they agree, and what they take issue with.

Mark Driscoll recently said in an interview, “I don’t hold to the five points of Calvinism. I think it’s garbage… it’s not biblical.” This has garnered a lot of attention because Mark was, for several years, a highly influential pastor and author that Time Magazine identified as one leaders in the New Calvinist movement. Where did the “five points” come from? What do we think of Mark’s take on “the five points”? Was Mark ever “reformed” in any sense of the word? Why do people care? Jimmy and Joe get into all of it on today’s episode. But, first, the guys revisit the whole Founders Cinedebacle discussed on yesterday’s bonus episode.

BONUS EPISODE! We knew Founders Ministries was working on a documentary of sorts, and they have finally released the trailer. And it turns out that while some people liked it, we noticed a lot more social media push-back against it. By What Standard? God’s World, God’s Rules looks to take on the social justice movement, women preachers, and liberalism (among other issues), and the trailers makes it appear that they are putting several well-known Southern Baptists in their cross hairs. Many have taken issue with the pulled quotes and placed in unfair contexts, and perhaps the greatest number of complaints centered around the use of Rachael Denhollander in the trailer. Three SBC seminary presidents, who are listed as “featured” participants in the doc, quickly posted their disapproval of the trailer on social media. Dr. Daniel Akin of SEBTS went so far as to ask to be entirely removed from the documentary. Dr. Albert Mohler of SBTS and Dr. James K. Allan of MBTS also expressed disappointment with what Founders Ministries has released. So what do Joe and Jimmy think? Will Jimmy have to apologize? Again?
