    Book 6: Episode 1 - Everyone Wants to be The Assassin

    Welcome to our first episode on the sixths Left Behind book Assassins! Folks are in a real bad mood what with the tribulation continuing on and having to hide either in plane (pun!) sight or in a subdivision of Chicago! We also find one of the most shocking differences between the old versions and newly revised versions of the book. Not just changing vhs to dvds but something far weirder and funnier. New book-club-style episodes will be released every other week, with periodic deep-dives into fun topics like Dispensationalism, the rise of the Religious Right, and unhinged Evangelical TikToks. Join our Patreon or follow the show on Twitter and Instagram! Or, follow your brave and honest hosts Tim Lanning and Jennifer Cheek! Our intro and outro music and lyrics by Layne Smith and William White Bass: Jonas Newhouse Extra Vocals: Frannie K Morrison Follow Glass Beach Hosted on Acast.

    The Fundamentalist Takeover of the Southern Baptist Convention

    On this very special episode we dig into the takeover of the Southern Baptist convention and analyze how it is a preview our current right wing take over of the country as well as its juicy Left Behind connections. This should be a niche topic that folks hear about, are aghast by and move on from but unfortunately taking over a branch of a Baptist denomination was only the beginning and, even more unfortunately, was only trial run of their tactics. Fascinating stuff. Here are the main sources that Jennifer used for her research: The Fundamentalist Takeover in the Southern Baptist Convention: A Brief History by Rob James and Gary Leazer with James ShoopmanShadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right by Anne Nelson, 2019 (new Afterword in 2021)The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism by Katherine Stewart, 2019 (updated in 2022) Hosted on Acast.
