BNG’s reporting on financial obfuscation at the Southern Baptist Convention North American Mission Board is the topic of a new “Stuck in the Middle with You” podcast.
Co-hosts Mark Wingfield and Benjamin Cole welcome to the show Jon Bullock, a Houston layman who has written several analysis pieces for BNG about NAMB’s secrecy and finances. The latest of those, “Inside NAMB’s Deficit Spiral and the Retirees Paying for It,” takes a deep dive into NAMB’s published financial reports and compares year-to-year changes.
In the podcast, Bullock answers questions about how he got those numbers and why it’s so difficult to track spending at the domestic mission board. The episode is titled, “The Black Box: NAMB’s Finances.”
In other recent episodes, Ben and Mark discuss the evolving definition of antisemitism and the future of Christianity Today and Christian journalism in general.
On “Highest Power: Church + State,” host Rick Pidcock discusses the death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and how patriarchy cares more about power than protecting women.
In another recent episode, he discusses how patriarchal pastors like those at Cities Church in St. Paul sacralize their control over women.
BNG’s special podcast series on sexual abuse at Kamp Kanakuk in Missouri also is available.
All BNG podcasts are free and are available on all major podcast platforms.
