I appreciate this piece from @rhett_burns on why, as a SC pastor, he will be voting for @WillyRice to serve as president of the Southern Baptist Convention.
"Keeping your foot on the gas while the Check Engine light flashes is a good way to ruin the motor."
The SBC is in decline. But decline is not inevitable; it is a choice.
So is renewal. And renewal requires courageous leaders willing to both tell the truth & offer real solutions
That's why SC pastor @rhett_burns is voting for @WillyRice next week.

South Carolina pastor Rhett Burns is supporting Florida’s Willy Rice for SBC president over Josh Powell from his own state
This article is a must-read for anyone attending the SBC next week, especially for undecided voters
@WillyRice has shown unparalleled humility in the SBC by admitting past mistakes, courage by diagnosing current challenges honestly, and wisdom by offering practical solutions, all while maintaining a joyful spirit and a clear focus on the Great Commission
Josh Powell is a friend & pastors 20 minutes across town. I’d love to vote for him for SBC president one day.
And that’s why I’m voting for @WillyRice next Tuesday.
I explain here…

Josh Hawley recently spoke in the chapel at SBTS, the premier seminary of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC).
Ron DeSantis is coming to the SBC annual meeting to speak at a side event.
Looks like 2028 contenders are courting the Baptist bloc already.
There’s a major disconnect between Rainer’s poll and the fact that SBC messengers vote out churches with female pastors at a rate of about 90% on every vote.
New Research from Church Answers: 55% of Southern Baptists affirm male-only pastors. In May 2026, we surveyed 1,786 Christians who believe the entire Bible is true and asked them about women in ministry. Our goal was to discover what people in the pew actually believe. The
After watching the public debate over the last week-plus, here are the main networks/people in the SBC who appear to be working against Dr. Mohler's Truth and Unity Amendment:
1) NAMB: Kevin Ezell/Trevin Wax
2) JD Greear/Todd Unzicker and their NC network
3) The Baptist Review: Griffin Gulledge, Jared Cornutt, Andrew Hebert, Bart Barber
H/T @megbasham for the proof on Unzicker here
The SBC rarely moved to disfellowship churches in the past. What changed? It's not the 2019 overhaul of the credentials committee, that's just a symptom of what changed.
What changed is the internet.
In a prior age, what an SBC church hundreds of miles away (or thousands!) did was of little practical concern to you. It was an unknown thing to all of your people. In fact, you had almost no way of even knowing what they were doing.
Then comes the internet and social media. Now sermons and social media posts are everywhere. Now staff page listings are a few clicks away.
This is all a good thing, full stop. You have to disagree with Scripture to disagree with that. Light exposes darkness. To take a specific example, we are to expose egalitarianism amongst us, Eph 5:11. Hesitancy to do so is a serious leadership flaw - you're disobeying Scripture, 1 Tim 5:20
The issue is not merely about "heresy hunters," though heresy hunting is an honorable thing. Those of us with younger churches have average church members very engaged on the internet. When they see that an SBC church (any SBC church, anywhere) is doing something dishonorable or against our statement of faith, they want answers. Why would the SBC allow that?
This is what changed. People are demanding answers because the internet and social media have brought to light what should never have been tolerated. We're all more connected now, for better or for worse.
We must act in response to the reasonable questions of our church members about nonsense being permitted in the SBC. To not act now is to be complicit. For instance, why in Virginia do we allow an entire state convention to mock God's design? There is no good reason, and we should not.
Denominational life is a lot more complicated in the internet and social media age. There is a lot more downside when people want to associate you with everything other cooperating churches do. But this just makes it all the more important that we do have boundaries that are meaningfully enforced.
In the past decade, there have been debates over what it means to be a church “in friendly cooperation,” and what “dealbreakers” would sever that relationship.

I sat on the credentials committee when a member didn’t want to remove a gay-affirming church, stating such action could hinder NAMB church planting in the NW.
Multiple members suggested it was a slippery slope and questioned why we single out homosexuality.
Support the Truth and Unity Amendment
A call from Ryan Fullerton, Lead Pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church, to vote for this amendment at the 2026 and 2027 Southern Baptist Convention Annual Meeting to deal with the problem of female pastors in the SBC.
The issues surrounding the constitutional amendment regarding women pastors continue to evoke discussion and debate. Here's a statement we made a few days ago that sets forth my view and why I have consistently called for a Task Force to address the issue.
Abstaining from shareholder proposals is not neutral.
Steve Soukup (@ThePolForum) outlines 3 very important reasons why.
"Neutrality is a goal; shareholder value is the goal. But neither can be achieved through abdication."
