Ep 1136 | Christianity Today, Be the Bridge, & the Evangelical Underbelly of USAID Funds | Guest: Megan Basham

Released February 6, 2025 by Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey

 

Today, we sit down with our good friend Megan Basham to discuss everything going on with so-called "charitable" Christian organizations supposedly receiving government funding through USAID. We go over Christianity Today taking government grants and the left-leaning publications that followed as well as whether NGOs can truly call themselves Christian if they're taking secular funds to promote overseas abortions. And we also briefly go over Trump's most recent executive order banning men from competing in women's sports.
