In this episode, Michael and Wade delve into the themes of institutional loyalty, conservative resurgence, and the importance of staying engaged in reform efforts within Christian institutions.

They dissect the ethos of leaving versus staying and fighting within flawed organizations, drawing parallels with broader societal and political examples to underline their message. They address the challenges of navigating imperfections within Christian denominations, particularly highlighting the Southern Baptist Convention as a case study for potential reform and resurgence. Reflecting on personal journeys and changes in theological stances, they stress the value of patience, teaching, and learning in the context of faith. Throughout, the discussion is peppered with references to biblical teachings, showcasing how scripture informs their perspective on engagement versus withdrawal from imperfect institutions.
