Introduction

In Today's exclusive part-two episode of the CBL Podcast, William Wolfe sits down with Jon Whitehead, a lifelong Southern Baptist, Attorney, and Trustee of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), to discuss the never-before-told story of Russell Moore's departure from the SBC, the fallout from his leaked letters, which lead to investigations that found no wrongdoing but harmed the convention and wasted immense time and funds.
