Secular Billionaires and the Buying Off of Evangelicals: Megan Basham's 'Shepherds For Sale'

  • サマリー

  • Have you ever wondered why so many Evangelicals are starting to drift to the left? There's a good reason. Daily Wire journalist Megan Basham's new book uncovers the infiltration of conservative Evangelical churches by far-left billionaires like George Soros and Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. Since around 2013 there's been a concerted effort to essentially buy off pastors through opportunities or large amounts of funding if they support left-leaning causes like climate change and abortion. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Basham talks about the research for her book, "Shepherds For Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda." Back in 2013 the likes of Soros and others saw religious voters as the one huge impediment to advancing their vision of America. Organizations like Soros' "Open Society Foundation" learned how to use the language of faith in order to lure pastors and their congregations to look more favorably toward a wide range of issues from the environment to gender ideology. Basham says, "They talked about how they could harness the power of high-profile Evangelical leaders in the hopes of influencing the rank and file in the pews." Learn more about your ad choices.
