What happens when evangelicalism prioritizes tone over truth, affirmation over transformation, and culture over conviction? You get soft evangelicalism—a slow, subtle drift from gospel clarity under the guise of kindness and relevance. In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins defines what soft evangelicalism is, traces its roots in theological liberalism, and offers biblical and historical warnings to help the Church stay grounded in the truth. This episode includes: • A biblical and historical framing of compromise • Real-life examples of soft evangelicalism today • A call to recover repentance and gospel clarity • Warnings from Scripture, the Reformers, and modern church history • Practical counsel for pastors, parents, and church leaders Soft evangelicalism sounds compassionate—but it distorts the gospel and leads people away from Christ. We must stand firm in God's Word and contend for the faith once for all delivered to the saints. ________________________________________ 🎧 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/contending-for-the-word/id1704686636 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/02aGgEF6NGt2dkmWH57jTQ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/servantsofgrace • Website: https://servantsofgrace.org/contendingfortheword ________________________________________ Thank you for listening or watching this episode of Contending for the Word.
