Some things are rather coincidental and also predictable. For Beth Moore, leaving the SBC in a coordinated announcement with the help of the pagan Religious News Service is one of those things. The coincidence being that one year ago she gave a sermon on a Sunday morning at a Southern Baptist church.
In this video I do a walkthrough of the sermon that Beth Moore gives at the aptly named Progressive Baptist Church where Charlie Dates preached. The sermon is pack full of bad exegesis. In December 2020, Charlie Dates would leave the Southern Baptist Convention because it was not adopting Critical Race Theory fast enough. A move by Beth Moore has long been expected, as she has immersed herself in Critical Theory and will probably milk the opportunity to become an ordained pastor at an egalitarian church.
The way she did so involved a superfluous fluff piece written by Bob Smietana.
Because of her opposition to Trump and her outspokenness in confronting sexism and nationalism in the evangelical world, Moore has been labeled as “liberal” and “woke” and even as being a heretic for daring to give a message during a Sunday morning church service.
Finally, Moore had had enough. She told Religion News Service in an interview Friday (March 5) that she is “no longer a Southern Baptist.”
“I am still a Baptist, but I can no longer identify with Southern Baptists,” Moore said in the phone interview. “I love so many Southern Baptist people, so many Southern Baptist churches, but I don’t identify with some of the things in our heritage that haven’t remained in the past.”
The article makes several attempts to defend Beth Moore from critics, and paint her as far more influential among Christians than she actually is. Her influence was on the decline. The article notes that Living Proof Ministries was raking in millions of dollars before Trump:
When Moore spoke out about Trump, the pushback was fierce. Book sales plummeted as did ticket sales to her events. Her criticism of Trump was seen as an act of betrayal. From fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2019, Living Proof lost more than $1.8 million.
What’s left out is her embrace of Critical Race Theory and Feminism which has hemorrhaged the audience she cultivated over decades. In essence, Beth Moore’s exit is a career move to reach a different audience. Just as Colin Kaepernick saw protesting as an answer to a declining NFL career, Beth Moore is going to virtue signal on her way out of the door to attract the woke, pronouns in bio, audience she has been cultivating the last few years.
Beth Moore is a false teacher. Therefore the Southern Baptist Convention is better off without her. And the thing about false teachers I have observed is that they get progressively worse over time. What started out as mediocre exegesis turned into a different gospel rather quickly.
2 Peter 2:2 about covers her ...
Agreed!
A psychologically abused intellectual, beaten down with “white guilt” by the academic peers she has been associating with. The mental state is like Patty Hearst by the end of her captivity with the black radical group. The captor feels compelled to adopt positions of their captors.
Anothe WOKE “Pastor” is all upset because her Woke Liberalism has been rejected by the Faithful. Good riddance. As they are fond of saying in the south, Don’t let the door hitya where the Good Lord splitya!
2 Peter 2:2
Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned;
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
Many will follow their unrestrained ways, and the way of truth will be blasphemed because of them
Btw, who is she?
“2 Peter 2:2 about covers her ...”
Good start - add in I Cor. 14:34-35 and you’ll be closer to the mark.

Popular evangelical Beth Moore says she’s no longer a Southern Baptist

..I’m sad she didn’t take Russell Moore with her...
Heretic Beth Moore leaves the faithful!!
Good analogy.
Her woke daughters also contributed to her own wokeness, sadly.
Beth Moore doesn’t really follow the Bible. If she did she would have a different kind of Christian life.
While Beth Moore self-exiled from the SBC, the fact is that the theological Left is in the process of subverting the evangelical churches in the same way they did with the mainline denominations in the last century. The issue of support for Trump is irrelevant. The liberals are wrong respective to Biblical doctrine. The seminaries and pulpits must be purged of these heretics.
I wonder if the Lord still calls her “sweetheart” and “darling” (yes, she has claimed that when she hears God speaking to her in the Spirit, He uses such endearments).
She’s a complete flake.
I’m embarrassed to say she was a big ‘influencer’ to young and older ‘women of faith’......not just Southern Baptist
When I read what she said about President Trump, I knew there had to be a reckoning.
She’s disingenuous and that’s putting it mildly
Beth Moore = female Joel Osteen.
Beth Moore had a huge following amongst Christian women. I was never impressed and told my women friends why.
Hopefully some others in SBC leadership will follow her lead and exit sooner rather than later.
Bkmk
Baptists don’t have women preachers. So she started out in the wrong. Not just Baptist, but way to many celebrity preachers are just people that want to be in some kind of show business IMO.
