On today’s program, the Bible translation organization Wycliffe Associates continues to make ambitious claims about its work, but is able to provide few details or evidence of results. And troubles continue at McLean Bible Church in the suburban Washington, DC, area.  We’ll have the latest. We begin today with a lawsuit against Liberty University.  The suit has been brought by victims of sexual assault that the victims say Liberty should have prevented. A couple of housekeeping items before we go.  First, a reminder that “Faith-Based Fraud” is now available at Audible.com. Secondly, a reminder to support your local church first, and your favorite and carefully researched ministries second, but if you have a bit extra that you can give MinistryWatch to help us help you and others become more effective and informed stewards, we would – of course – be grateful.  To make a gift to MinistryWatch any time, not just at year-end, go to www.MinistryWatch.com and hit the donate tab at the top of the page. Finally, for any listeners in Colorado Springs.  Warren Smith be in Colorado next week and would love to have lunch with you.  We’re doing a lunch in Colorado Springs on the 27th.  Check your daily email from MinistryWatch for an EventBrite link to sign up.  And if you don’t live in Colorado, stay tuned.  Now that COVID is lifted, I’ll be traveling a bit more, and I hope to do donor, reader, and listener lunches in Atlanta, Orlando, Dallas, Nashville, and other cities in the near future. The producers for today’s program are Rich Roszel and Steve Gandy. We get database and other technical support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, and Casey Sudduth.  Writers who contributed to today’s program include Steve Rabey, Anne Stych, Kim Roberts, Bob Smietana, Shannon Cuthrell, and Adelle Banks.

MinistryWatch Podcast

Ep. 118: Liberty University, Wycliffe Associates, Bethlehem Baptist, and the SBC

Here at MinistryWatch we bring you news about Christian ministries, as well as the latest in charity and philanthropy, all designed to help us become better stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us. On today’s MinistryWatch EXTRA episode I’m pleased to welcome back to the program the president of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, Michael Martin. We're also joined today by Staci Brown, ECFA’s new Senior Vice President of Member Accountability and Relations. A quick note before we get started. I’ve had Michael Martin on the program before, back in February, and at that time, we went through the history of the ECFA, its Seven Principles of Financial Integrity, and other issues.  I recommend listening to that episode either before or after this one: https://ministrywatch.com/ep-74-a-conversation-with-ecfa-president-michael-martin/ We focus more on Staci’s new role in this podcast, a role that both Michael and Staci will “up the game” of the ECFA in holding ministries accountable to the standards they sign on to when they join the organization. To find out more about the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability, go to ECFA.org. And to find out more about MinistryWatch, go to MinistryWatch.com. The producers for today’s program are Rich Roszel and Steve Gandy.   Here at MinistryWatch we get database, technical, and editorial support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, Christina Darnell, and Casey Sudduth.  Thanks to Michael Martin and Staci Brown with the ECFA for being a part of today’s program.

Ep. 117: A Conversation with the ECFA’s Michael Martin and Staci Brown

On today’s program, a prominent Anglican bishop is forced to take a leave of absence for his handling of a sexual abuse case in his diocese.  And the Wisconsin Attorney General has declared war on clergy sex abuse. We also have the story of McLean Bible Church in the Washington, D.C., area.  McLean Bible Church is one of the largest and most influential churches in the nation.  Because of its proximity to Washington, D.C., many government officials, Capitol Hill staffers, and thought leaders are members.  Its pastor, David Platt, was the youngest megachurch pastor in the country, when he led the Church at Brook Hills in Birmingham, Alabama, more than a decade ago.  Today, he is a bestselling author and he came to McLean Bible Church from his role as president of Southern Baptist Convention’s International Missions Board.  But all is not well there now. Also on today’s program:  Mt. Bethel United Methodist Church, in the Atlanta suburb of Marietta, has about 8,000 members and is one of the largest congregations in the North Georgia Conference of the United Methodist Church. The conference said in a statement Monday that it was “acting out of love for the church and its mission," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The Mt. Bethel church also has the Mt. Bethel Christian Academy. According to the statement from the conference, the title to the congregation's real, personal, tangible and intangible property was immediately transferred to the conference’s Board of Trustees, “who may hold or dispose of such property in its sole discretion.” Also today:  A reminder that “Faith-Based Fraud” is now available at Audible.com.  And I want to thank all of you who made fiscal year end contributions to MinistryWatch.  We had set an ambitious goal for the month and for the year, and – to be honest – I wasn’t sure we would get there.  But, thanks to you, we did.  So, thank you.  As always, we want you to support your local church first, and your favorite and carefully researched ministries second, but if you have a bit extra that you can give MinistryWatch to help us help you and others become more effective and informed stewards, we would – of course – be grateful. To make a gift to MinistryWatch any time, not just at year-end, go to MinistryWatch.com and hit the donate tab at the top of the page. Finally, for any listeners in Colorado.  I’ll be in Colorado on July 27 and 28 and I would love to have lunch with you.  We’re doing a lunch in Colorado Springs on the 27th, and in Denver on the 28th.  Check your daily email from MinistryWatch for an EventBrite link to sign up.  And if you don’t live in Colorado, stay tuned.  Now that COVID is lifted, I’ll be traveling a bit more, and I hope to do donor, reader, and listener lunches in Atlanta, Dallas, Nashville, and other cities in the near future.

Ep. 116: Anglicans Deal With Sex Abuse, and Wisconsin AG Fights Clergy Sex Abuse

On today’s MinistryWatch EXTRA episode I’m pleased to welcome back to the program Paul Glader.  Paul is the editor-in-chief at Religion Unplugged and the director of the journalism program at The King’s College in New York City.  His journalism experience includes a long tenure with the Wall Street Journal. We begin with a story by Ryan Burge on the Decline of the Mainline.  It was a response to a story by PRRI, the Public Religion Research Institute.  That survey said that the mainline churches were experiencing a resurgence, and their members may now actually outnumber evangelicals.  But that can’t possibly be right.  We explain why. Next, we turn our attention to “The Chosen,” which is the streaming series by Dallas Jenkins that portrays the life of Jesus.  You have a review of the second season, by Joseph Holmes.  He says the second season is not as good as the first season, but it is still the gold standard for Christian television. Finally, we talk “Pastors and Plagiarism.”  We’ve covered a number of stories involving celebrity preachers and plagiarism over the years.  Everyone from Mark Driscoll to David Barton.  Lately, the issue came up when the new president of the Southern Baptist Convention, Ed Litton, was accused of plagiarizing sermons from the outgoing president J.D. Greear. To find out more about Religion Unplugged and the stories we discussed today, go to Religion Unplugged.com.  If you’d like to give to its International Reporting Fund, there’s a link at the top of the page. To find out more about MinistryWatch, go to MinistryWatch.com.  And I’d like to share with you a couple of quick notes before we go. Secondly, if you’re in a spot where you can’t contribute – hey, I get it.  Been there a time or two myself.  But that doesn’t mean you can’t help.  First of all, we covet your prayers.  We write a lot here at MinistryWatch about people who started out strong, but finished poorly.  Pray for us that what God has begun here will continue faithfully.  And, secondly, if you’re listening to this podcast on a podcast app, give us a rating.  The more ratings we get, the better the program performs with search engines.  It’s an important way you can help us, and it doesn’t cost you a dime. The producers for today’s program are Rich Roszel and Steve Gandy.   Here at MinistryWatch we get database, technical, and editorial support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, Christina Darnell, and Casey Sudduth.  Thanks to Bobby Ross, Clementi Lisi, Joseph Holmes, and entire Religion Unplugged team for providing content for our conversation today.

Ep. 115: Warren Smith and Paul Glader discuss the Decline of the Mainline, Preachers and Plagiarism, and “The Chosen”

On today’s program, more troubles with the Boy Scouts, and that trouble could create a financial liability for the churches that host Scout troops and Cub Packs.  And the Southern Baptists aren’t the only denominations having meetings this summer.  We begin today with more news related to Kanakuk camps, the prestigious Christian camps in Missouri. The producers for today’s program are Rich Roszel and Steve Gandy. We get database and other technical support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, and Casey Sudduth.  Writers who contributed to today’s program include Sarah Dreher, Emily McFarlan Miller, Anne Stych, Bob Smietana, Shannon Cuthrell, and Steve Rabey.  Thanks to The NonProfit Times and Religion Unplugged for contributing material to this week’s program. Until next time, may God bless you.

Ep. 114: Boy Scouts, Liberty University, and Kanakuk

My name is Warren Smith.  I’m the president of MinistryWatch, and this week we’re taking a break from our normal podcast schedule so we can give our staff a break, and so I can share with you a special message. This episode will be much shorter than normal, but I hope you’ll hang with me for 6 or 7 minutes so I can tell you a bit about who we are, what we do, and to answer a couple of questions we often get about the podcast. Let me begin by acknowledging what I’m sure you already know.  We live in a cynical, skeptical, and secular age. Faith in all our major institutions is at or near an all-time low.  Government, business, journalism, the law, and medicine.  People no longer trust institutions and professions that used to command prestige and respect. This erosion of credibility has also hit the church. The mission of MinistryWatch is to help restore credibility to the evangelical ministry world by bringing increased transparency and accountability to the Christian ministry marketplace.  We believe that increased transparency and accountability lead to greater confidence in and, ultimately, more giving to these ministries. We pursue this goal of bringing transparency and accountability to ministries by using a couple of basic but powerful tools. First, we analyze on an annual basis the financial statements of more than 900 of the largest Christian ministries in the country.  We give these ministries Financial Efficiency Ratings and Transparency Grades.  We make this information available in a searchable database that is free and easy to use.  Donors can see at a glance how their favorite ministries are actually spending their money.  We take data that is often buried in Form 990s and audited financial statements, and make it available to everyone. Secondly, we do investigative and accountability journalism.  We publish between 60 and 80 stories a month at the MinistryWatch.  And our stories get results.  Some of our stories have led to transitions in leadership and positive policy changes at the ministries we cover. And that’s an important point.  At MinistryWatch, our goal is not to tear down, but to build up. When we must write a tough story about a ministry, it is our sincere prayer that the story results in reform, in restoration, and that the ministry is not weakened, but that the ministry takes corrective action is stronger than ever. We have developed a loyal audience that understands what we are about.  Our website has enjoyed 2-million page views in the past year, and we hope to hit 2.5-million this year. In a recent survey of our readers, a full three-quarters of them said they have used MinistryWatch to help them make giving decisions.  Nearly half of them say they have changed their giving decisions based on what they have learned on our site. There’s one final thing I want to share with you:  We are donor-supported.  We do not accept advertising on our website.  We do not take money from the ministries we cover.  We exist to serve donors – to help them – to help you – become more effective stewards of the resources God has entrusted to you. I hope what I’ve said so far gives you an idea of why we exist.  I’d like to spend a couple more minutes answering some questions we frequently get about the podcast. The first question I get is:  Is Natasha Smith, your co-host, your daughter? The answer to that is NO.  We share the same last name, but she is not my daughter, or related in any way. The next question is:  Natasha often reads off a lot of names at the end of each show, names of people who have contributed to the program.  How big is your staff? The answer to that question is simple:  The size of the staff at MinistryWatch is 1.  I’m the only full-time staff member at MinistryWatch.  Now, that answer requires a bit of explanation.  COVID has proven to the world that you don’t have to gather in an office to get things done,

Ep. 113: A Special Message From MinistryWatch President Warren Smith

Here at MinistryWatch we bring you news about Christian ministries, as well as the latest in charity and philanthropy, news that we examine from a Christian worldview perspective.  Our goal is to help us become better stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us. These mid-week “Extra” episodes are a chance for us to go deep with a particular topic, and today I’m pleased to have David French on the program. David French is a graduate of Lipscomb University in Nashville, and also of Harvard Law School.  He spent many years as an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom.  He was a staff writer for the National Review from 2015 to 2019, and he currently serves as senior editor of The Dispatch. My Kanakuk coverage, which now amounts to about a dozen stories, as well as our coverage of the Southern Baptist Convention and other organizations we discussed today, can be found at MinistryWatch.com. A quick reminder that my book Faith-Based Fraud is finally available for sale to the public.  Last year, we self-published an edition of 500 copies and gave them away to our donors.  Thanks to the generosity of many of you, they didn’t last long.  That motivated us to find a “real publisher,” Wild Blue Press out of Denver Colorado, and they’re bringing out a hardback, paperback, ebook, and audio book version of Faith Based Fraud.  The paperback, hardback, ebook, and audiobook versions are now all available.  You can find them by going to Amazon or other online book retailers.  I hope you’ll get a copy today. The producers for today’s program are Rich Roszel and Steve Gandy. We get database and other technical support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, and Casey Sudduth. I’m Warren Smith, and – until next time – May God bless you.

Ep. 112: A Conversation with David French About Kanakuk, the SBC, and The State of Evangelicalism

On today’s program, a World Series Most Valuable Player sues his pastor.  And Kanye West’s Sunday Service gets tax-exempt status, while a ministry that encourages people to pray was denied.  We’ll explain later in the program.  We begin with more on the ongoing saga surrounding Gospel for Asia, now known as GFA World. The producers for today’s program are Rich Roszel and Steve Gandy. We get database and other technical support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, and Casey Sudduth.  Writers who contributed to today’s program include Sarah Dreher, Emily McFarlan Miller, Anne Stych, Bob Smietana, Shannon Cuthrell, and Steve Rabey.  Thanks to The NonProfit Times for contributing material to this week’s program. Until next time, may God bless you.

Ep. 111: Kanye West, Gospel for Asia, Ben Zobrist, and the Boy Scouts

Here at MinistryWatch we bring you news about Christian ministries, as well as the latest in charity and philanthropy, all designed to help us become better stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us.  Every Friday we post our regular roundups of the week’s news.  Those are episodes I co-host with Natasha Smith.  But these MinistryWatch Extra episodes are a chance for us to share with you a little something different, a little something extra.  Sometimes we interview newsmakers.  Other times we “go deep,” you might say, with one of our editorial partners. Today, though I’m pleased to offer you a portion of the audio version of my new book “Faith-Based Fraud.”  Faith-Based Fraud is, in some ways, an extended mission statement for why MinistryWatch exists.  And I began that book with my own story of why and how I came to be involved in the kind of investigative journalism we do here at MinistryWatch. Thanks to the generosity of Audible.com, we are able to offer the first 20 minutes of the book to you absolutely free, and – to be perfectly transparent – we hope it will motivate you to go to Audible.com and purchase the audiobook to hear all of the great stories in the book. I’d like to mention that MinistryWatch is coming up on the end of our fiscal year on June 30.  We here at MinistryWatch depend on your financial support to do what we do.  We don’t take money from the ministries we cover, and we do not accept advertising or sponsorship dollars.  We are 100 percent donor-supported.  In fact, even the royalties from Faith-Based Fraud go not to me, but to MinistryWatch. If you’d like to help us out financially, just go to the MinistryWatch.com website and hit the DONATE button at the top of the page.  Your contribution before June 30 will help us finish this fiscal year strong. Also, I want to let you know that even if you don’t want to or can’t make a donation, there’s still something easy and FREE you can do to help.  Just rate us on your podcast app.  The more ratings we get, the better the program performs with search engines.  A rating doesn’t cost you a dime, and it really is a big help. The producers for today’s program are Rich Roszel and Steve Gandy.   We get database, technical, and editorial support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, Christina Darnell, and Casey Sudduth.  Thanks to the folks at Audible.com and Wild Blue Press for helping us secure permission to air today’s content. Until next time, may God bless you.

Ep. 110: “Faith-Based Fraud”

On today’s program, the Southern Baptists met in Nashville this week.  We’ve got extended coverage of the event.  Also, a new study on giving in the US indicates that giving is up, but religious giving is not.  We’ll unpack the numbers.  We begin with the story of an alternative to the Boy Scouts of America.  The name of the group is Trail Life USA, and it’s growing significantly. Two quick notes: First, the audio version of my book Faith Based Fraud is now out.  You can find it by going to Audible.com, or to Amazon.com. Also, we’re approaching our fiscal year-end here at MinistryWatch.  We are 100 percent donor-supported here.  We don’t take advertising, and we don’t take money from the ministries we cover.  If you believe in what we’re trying to do here, which is to bring transparency and accountability to the ministry marketplace, I hope you’ll support us with a gift before June 30, so we can begin our new fiscal year in a strong position.  Just go to the MinsitryWatch website and hit the DONATE button at the top of the page.  Also, if you’re not in a position to support us financially…hey, I get that.  Been there a time or two myself.  But there is something quick, easy, and FREE you can do to help us, and that is to RATE us on your podcast app.  The more ratings we get, the easier it is for search engines to recommend us to others.

Until next time, may God bless you.

Ep. 109: A Southern Baptist Convention Round-Up

On today’s program, Rick Warren asks Saddleback Church to start looking for his replacement.  Donor Advised Funds race new regulations.  And the Southern Baptists have some important – and difficult – issues ahead of them at their upcoming annual convention in Nashville.  We’ll have a preview.  We begin with the story of a small Christian college in Pennsylvania that shut down its social work program rather than compromise their Christian beliefs. The producers for today’s program are Rich Roszel and Steve Gandy. We get database and other technical support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, and Casey Sudduth.  Writers who contributed to today’s program include Rod Pitzer, Steve Rabey, Yonat Shimron, Shannon Cuthrell, Kim Roberts, Anne Stych, Alejandra Molina, and Claudia Lauer. Until next time, may God bless you.

Ep. 108: Rick Warren, Religious Liberty, Russell Moore and the Southern Baptist Convention

On today’s program, Russell Moore leaves the Southern Baptist Convention over the churches handling of sexual abuse and race issues.  And more accusations about Carl Lentz motivate hard questions about the culture at Hillsong.  We also have our list of the lowest rated ministries in the MinistryWatch database.  We’ll discuss that list later in the program.  We begin with news of a billion-dollar restriction at the Trinity Broadcasting Network. The producers for today’s program are Rich Roszel and Steve Gandy. We get database and other technical support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, and Casey Sudduth.  Writers who contributed to today’s program include Rod Pitzer, Adelle M.

Regular listeners to the program know that last week we began these “MinistryWatch Extra” episodes.  We will continue our regular Friday weekly roundup episodes.  Those are episodes I co-host with Natasha Smith.  But these MinistryWatch Extra episodes are a chance for us to “go deep,” you might say, with one of our editorial partners. Today, I’m pleased to have back on the program Michael Reneau.  Michael is the Editor of WORLD Magazine.  He came to WORLD after a successful tenure as an award-winning editor at The Greeneville Sun, a daily newspaper serving East Tennessee.

On today’s program, one of the board members who went public with concerns at radio station WPOZ, “The Z,” has been removed from the board.  And we examine the strange legacy of Harold Camping, a radio preacher who falsely predicted the end of the world – 10 years ago this month.  We begin today the story of a new Bible translation that includes singer Lee Greenwood’s licensed lyrics to “God Bless the USA” and America’s Pledge of Allegiance. Just a reminder that it’s not too late to make a donation to MinistryWatch for the month of May.  If you do, you’ll receive a copy of the classic book “Mission Drift” as our thank you gift.  But you do have to act quickly, as the offer ends May 31.  Just go to MinistryWatch.com and hit the donate button at the top of the page.

First, I want to let you know that the classic book “Mission Drift” is our book of the month.  Mission Drift sprang out of research done by the co-author Peter Greer and his colleagues into the reasons some ministries strayed away from their founding missions, and how others stayed “mission true.”  This is an important book, and for a gift of any size, we’ll send you that book as our thank you for your support of MinistryWatch.  We think every Christian donor and ministry leader should have this book in his or her library.  But you do need to act fast.  This offer expires on May 31. Secondly, if you’re in a spot where you can’t contribute – hey, I get it.  Been there a time or two myself.  But that doesn’t mean you can’t help.  First of all, we covet your prayers.  We write a lot here at MinistryWatch about people who started out strong, but finished poorly.  Pray for us that what God has begun here will continue faithfully.  And, secondly, if you’re listening to this podcast on a podcast app, give us a rating.  The more ratings we get, the better the program performs with search engines.  It’s an important way you can help us, and it doesn’t cost you a dime.
