Please note the update at the bottom of this post Before I stopped blogging at Pulpit & Pen, last Fall I wrote a post about an up and coming celebrity evangelist by the name of Clayton Jennings. What was concerning is how we saw Jennings and certain other youth-oriented evangelists sell themselves in displays of thinly … Read more
Out there in evangelical-land there’s a group of young men gaining traction and attention – from TBN, book publishers, revival promoters, and a whole lot of females. The whole thing is giving me the heebie jeebies. A few pulpiteers in the Bunker have posted occasional Facebook videos from these fellas, and not only are they … Read more
Three Sundays ago, after church, I drove up to Alpharetta to meet with Anurag Sharma. Sharma was, along with his friend Ravi Zacharias, the co-owner of Jivan Wellness, the now infamous spa where the world-famous apologist has been accused (by multiple witnesses) of asking for “happy endings” and sexual intercourse. The story of Jivan Spa … Read more
Update. The clock has finished. The article has been posted here. Terminus of Servus ChristiCountdown Since the days of Ken Silva at Apprising.Org, a necessary and growing ministry of discernment has developed online, the very place where false teachers now congregate and propagate their heresies. The most respectable discernment ministers, also known as polemicists, have … Read more

As Pulpit & Pen has previously reported, Apologia Church secretly recorded clergy-penitent conversations to archive and later use for retaliatory purposes. After we reported that Apologia’s secret sin confession recordings found its way on YouTube (with both Durbin and White using it to threaten Tim Hurd), the church was silent for days while many of … Read more
Although Charisma Mag broke the story with their (excellent) reporting, discernment proves to trump faux-prophecy every time. We first warned you about John Crist a little less than a year ago and cautioned Christians about following his ‘humor ministry.’ When worship songstress, Lauren Daigle, found herself unable to state whether or not homosexuality was a … Read more
Rachel Denhollander might make a great victim, but she’s a terrible theologian. After being victimized by Olympic doctor, Larry Nassar, Rachael Denhollander courageously spoke-out and led the choir of right-minded folks calling for criminal justice. And then Denhollander presented the Gospel in her victim impact testimony, which was touching. After the spotlight of the mainstream … Read more
Tullian Tchividjian, when defending his return to the pastorate after being defrocked by his Presbytery and fired from multiple churches for both adultery and subsequent cover-ups, claimed that having sexual relations with a church member was not “abuse.” He is wrong. Pastors, church leaders, evangelists, and church elders do not have affairs with congregants. They … Read more
Reformed Baptist minister, Tom Chantry (son of renown theologian, Walter Chantry) just received 24 years for child abuse. Some took to social media over the weekend, including Brannon Howse at Worldview Weekend, and claimed that the Reformed discernment community has been silent regarding Chantry’s conviction, which has brought a black eye to the Association of … Read more
Social Justice Warriors associated with The Gospel Coalition and ‘woke’ evangelicalism have teamed up with the LGBT lobby to get tech giants, Google and Amazon, to demonetize Pulpit & Pen by flagging it as ‘hate speech.’ Pulpit & Pen is not the first conservative news and/or commentary outlet to be censored by the technocracy. Praeger … Read more
Several months ago, I received correspondence from a publication called ‘Word and Way.‘ which reports on Missouri Southern Baptist news. I read it growing up, back when it was the de facto news publication of the Missouri Baptist Convention in my then native state. Brian Kaylor, the current editor and president of the publication reached … Read more
There are two types of people who don’t need to read or follow polemics ministries. If you’re not one of those people, you should be reading Pulpit & Pen. And even though P&P is the most trusted name in polemics and discernment (and by far the biggest name in the game), this goes for other … Read more
Pulpit & Pen has been threatened to be sued hundreds of times. Greg Locke, Clayton Jennings, Jonathan Cahn, Perry Noble, and many more, have threatened to sue us and, in some cases, sent us cease-and-desist letters, which we ignore (or post them online, because they’re funny). P&P has ruined careers by doing nothing but basic … Read more
Fred Butler was called by Brannon Howse the “Grace to You Mailroom Guy.” Butler is more than that. He’s the unofficial resident blogger at Grace to You, who for some reason heads up GTY’s Senior Citizen volunteer division (or something like that) instead of doing what seems to make far more sense, which is writing … Read more
