Can J.D. Greear be trusted on sex abuse after defense of CJ Mahaney?

The Southern Baptist Convention must do more to protect the flock. Sex abusers have no place in the church. However, can we trust the people who empowered scandal-plauged CJ Mahaney to lead these needed reforms? Men like Dr. Al Mohler and Dr. J.D. Greear, current president of the Southern Baptist Convention, defended Mahaney even after public reporting on the serious allegations of Sovereign Grace’s failures in dealing with sexual abuse.

Al Mohler was even making jokes about the Mahaney situation and warmly defending Mahaney’s character.

For years.

Showing that J.D. Greear never strays too far from Al Mohler’s view of things, Greear attacked critics of CJ Mahaney.
