Are you wondering what Southern Baptists are buzzing about? I’ve seen more tweets on this than warts on a frog. (Do frogs really have warts?) So after viewing the 90 minutes and reading the full paper along with it – I’ve stripped the 90 minute presentation and 32 page report down to the pure [...]
