How the Left Infiltrates the Church | Megan Basham

Jonathon Van Maren sits down with Megan Basham, a culture reporter for The Daily Wire, to discuss her latest book, 'Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda.' 

Basham discusses some of her investigative research exposing the infiltration of churches by various leftist ideologies, including those related to LGBT organizations and critical race theory.

The conversation covers a wide range of issues, from the manipulation of evangelical institutions by powerful financial influences to the cultural and moral ramifications of redefining abuse and biblical sexuality. 

They also discuss the John Crist scandal, David French, Dr. Francis Collins, the paradox of sexual consent, and the impact of pornography on the church.
