Paul, April and Jeremy discuss the Southern Baptist Convention's decision to have a closed investigation of the more than 700 sexual abuse cases within SBC churches. The messengers wanted an open investigation and full transparency of all findings, and the higher ups at the SBC voted against the will of the people to protect themselves. So, they discuss the implications of this and how widespread abuse is in churches beyond the SBC.

They also talk about the gullibility of evangelicals and how 19 of the top 20 Christian Facebook pages were controlled by foreign troll farms.
