The New Founding podcast is run by the same people that own and run the @BaptistLeaders podcast. Friends, mark and avoid William Wolfe and his Center for leadership.

If you need a ladder on stage to drive your point home, then you need to learn to communicate. Use. Your. Words.
By popular demand, here’s the full #LadderGate2026 sermon illustration. Week 7 of series through 2 Timothy, right after a few hundred people surrendered to Christ and are deciding whether to be obedient in baptism next week. Would do this again a thousand times for those ppl (if I weren’t getting too old for stuff like this!)

Pragmatism is as pragmatism does.
The viral meltdown of folks over Howerton using a ladder as a sermon illustration is so dumb. I think it reveals envious hearts disguised as a concern over methods. It's exactly how religious leaders reacted to Jesus in his ministry. You wouldn't do it? Good. Don't. Simple as.

I’ll say it again. If you need a super car or a two ladders on the stage to get your point across, then you can’t preach. If you can’t describe your illustration then you’re a sorry communicator.
Creativity isn’t the destination, it’s the vehicle. If it helps someone hear the truth of Jesus in a way they’ll never forget, use it.

Haha! If you need to bring two ladders or some other object up on stage then you can’t preach. If you can’t describe your illustration, then you’re a sorry communicator.
We made a graphic, because there's few things that pastors love more than ladders in their sermon illustrations. :p

William Wolfe is woke.
Historically, Christian Nationalism does this too, though, and these guys pushing it today inspire zero confidence it will be different with them. Hell, people in their orbit tell me every day that I'll be murdered by their regime when they take over. What William is doing here is a dialectical tactic called an affordance. He's giving you two options, both of which are awful, and one of which is viscerally and obviously awful, so you'll be more inclined to the bad thing he'll help control. Mark and avoid William Wolfe.

This is hot garbage from the guy who hosted a pornographer on his podcast.
The great commission is not merely a command to evangelize the lost but to civilize the nations.

I am to the point that I would warn Christians of listening to or following Webbon’s group, the Ogden group, or anyone who promotes them. And I do so with the same energy I would have when I warn against false teachers.

Oh my goodness. With one second left, the #Ravens just beat the Cowbums with a 56-yard field goal. Do you know what that means? My favorite choir will sing their #1 hit song. 🤠

"Christians can sometimes overreact to modern disenchantment and fall into the opposite ditch of medieval superstition (one popular Christian podcast on the supernatural realm has speculated about the existence of fairies, incubi, mermaids, and even Bigfoot)."
Joel Webbon, Ben Garrett, and Brian Sauvé discuss how the Greek god Poseidon is real, that he is a fallen angel from Genesis 6, and that his son, Atlas the king of Atlantis, was one of the Nephilim. This is how they wedge pagan occultism into Christians' minds. @WadeMiller

Preach!
If you were comfortable criticizing Tim Keller for flirting with socialism, but you are uncomfortable with criticizing Joel Webbon... you need to get a grip.

I’m sitting in a “first” Baptist church in a town in Arkansas, population 350, with 40 folks listening to one of the county judges preach the Gospel on a Thursday night. This is peak Baptist life. Gimme this every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

This is more effeminate than a Candace Owens rant. Joel is Candace with a beard.

Excellent post by Dr. Walker. Of course, there will be pushback from guys who think that the answer is to partner with pornographers and wannabe warlord shampoo salesmen while feeding the white nationalist anon cowards internet meme slop.
Michael Scott thought he could declare bankruptcy by yelling it across the office. A lot of the Christian nationalism conversation works the same way: Say it loud enough, post about it often enough, and surely it becomes real. It doesn't. I explain why the Christian nationalism conversation has run its course in my latest @WNGdotorg column. wng.org/opinions/michael-sco…
