The Marks and Dangers of “Progressive” Christianity
Progressive Christianity often presents itself as compassionate, inclusive, and evolving. Beneath the surface, it
lowers the authority of Scripture, redefines essential doctrines, affirms moral revisionism, prioritizes activism
over redemption, and elevates personal experience above biblical truth. In this 12–15 minute episode, Dave Jenkins
outlines the marks of this movement, why it’s dangerous, and how Christians can stand firm on God’s unchanging Word.
