Megan Basham Wrote on X:

“For years, the American Church has been overrun with leaders who are selling out their ministries and denominations to the highest bidders, giving wolves access to their sheep in exchange for elite respectability.

Rather than the truth of Scripture, high-profile pastors and denominational leaders are preaching trendy social causes and reaping the spoils of the media's adulation.

The left's march through the institutions has brought it to the last bastion--the Church--and if it could, it would bring that edifice, too, toppling down to serve its political purposes.

Who is being bought and who is doing the buying? Why are our seminaries and bible colleges training students to be climate change activists, immigration activist and social justice warriors? Why are the Bible's instructions for handling accusations being thrown out while "trauma experts" are being brought in?

You've had your suspicions. Now you will have answers. I've spent the last two years investigating the capitulation, compromise, and propaganda peddling. I'm naming names and bringing receipts.

I have received cease and desist threats from one of the country's most powerful law firms. My publisher has received letters from major ministries & denominations asking for meetings about their "concerns." Backroom powerbrokers have tried to discredit and derail my project. By God's grace, they've all failed.

You WILL learn which leaders and ministries are pimping their pulpits, cozying up to leftist sugardaddies, and embracing the world's oldest profession.”

“This may just be the single most important book on modern Evangelicalism in recent years. It is bold, clear, and very well-researched.”—John MacArthur

How deeply have leftist billionaires infiltrated America’s churches?
Liberal theology isn’t new. Pastors and theologians have drifted, slipped, or even plunged into doctrinal error for centuries. But in recent decades, Daily Wire reporter Megan Basham reveals, well-funded forces from outside the church have been sowing seeds of discord from behind the scenes.

In Shepherds for Sale, Basham documents how progressive powerbrokers —from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration— set out to change the American church. Secular foundations and think tanks have deliberately targeted Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations, not to mention many high-profile pastors and influencers, with infiltration and astroturf campaigns. Their goal: to co-opt the church for political purposes.

In exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise.
Now, many evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider the importance of abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of “perpetuating systemic racism.”

Meanwhile, America’s largest evangelical denominations are fraught with division over issues like critical race theory, and many ministries once known for publishing sound doctrine are now promoting social justice.

Through years of investigation, Basham uncovered compromise at the highest levels of evangelical leadership —from the revered Presbyterian theologian who furtively backed a rogue congregation rebelling against his own denomination, to the celebrity megachurch pastor who secretly encouraged a group of pastors to change their views on sexuality.

A rigorously reported exposé, Shepherds for Sale serves as a warning of what can happen when a church forgets that true power lies not in the world’s wisdom, but in Scripture.”
