Nominees: The Worst Christian of 2019

Who out there, among the professing, has had the most deleterious effect on the health of the body of Christ in the year 2019? Using a number of criteria Pulpit & Pen has identified a list of nominees from a pool of eligible individuals (obvious charlatans and the theologically heterodox* were not included for consideration). In 2018, Thom Rainer claimed the title of Pulpit & Pen’s “Worst Christian” of the year, beating out Danny Akin, John Crist, Greg Locke, Beth Moore, and Andy Stanley. This year Akin and Moore are once again among the nominees, along with four new faces.

Who is the worst Christian of 2019? The Nominees are as follows:

Danny Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
Beth Moore, popular Christian speaker and author
JD Greear, President of the Southern Baptist Convention and Pastor of Summit Church
Jeff Durbin, popular Podcaster and Pastor of Apologia Church
James MacDonald, author, former Pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel and former host of Walk in the Word
John David Edie, former Executive Pastor of First Baptist Church of Naples, Florida

*Due to his popularity in the Reformed community, Jeff Durbin was given consideration. Since he is a theonomist, I consider him heterodox. I recognize that many of my readership would not, however, exclude Durbin from orthodoxy.
