RENEE NAL

ON THE RECORD: Feb 2, 2014: Renee Nal (Illinois Review) asks "Is Christianity being hijacked by progressives?" Nal wisely notices that "An effort is underway, and has been for some time, to persuade Christian Americans on various policy issues, including same-sex marriage, extending unemployment benefits, and anti-Israel initiatives, by using an oftentimes cherry-picked and/or unusual interpretation of biblical teachings." Nal says "The organizations seeking to sway public opinion are well-coordinated and often times funded by extreme leftist groups, such as the Open Society Foundation." Napp Nazworth of the Christian Post discussed one of those efforts: “Evangelical leaders supporting immigration reform praised the new set of principles on immigration reform released by House Republicans after their winter meeting.” The “Evangelical Immigration Table” leaders “hail from the left and right of the political spectrum,” Nazworth wrote, “including leaders of Focus on the Family, National Association of Evangelicals, Sojourners and the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.”-------------

Sept 16, 2014: FBC Jax Watchdogs: Perry Noble and NewSpring Kick-Off the Tithing Season with Parody of Themselves!!
Below is a parody video that NewSpring Church has posted on their website to introduce Perry Noble's new sermon series entitled "The Church Just Wants Your Money". Some of the "best" (i.e. worst) teachings on money in mega churches come in September/October, so we are glad to see Perry is kicking things off with a bang! (The all time best/worst was Ed Young's tithing long bomb back in 2010 here and here.)

March 31, 2019: His Air: Julie Norwood Interview 3-31-19
In 2006 I left radio completely to serve as a Lead Pastor of a church; where I still pastor (biglifechurchrc). I was offered to come back to help during Fundraising and fill in on air as needed. When an opening came up for mornings, I agreed to do the Morning Show in addition to my pastoring. In 2015, there was a station format change to a new, 100% Worship format. I was offered to be the PD and bring the station on. I had little idea of what that entailed, but I was willing, and so I said, “Sure, I can pray.” Nov 27, 2018: Newscenter1: Hope for the Homeless Outreach
