Bruce Frank has thrown his hat into the ring for the Southern Baptist presidency. It was clear from the onset that he was a liberal candidate vying for the liberal bloc of the Southern Baptist Convention, based on his stance against the Mike Law Amendment, but his ability to win might be wrapped in his all too familiar resume that resembles three-term president JD Greear. Bruce Frank is a multicampus megachurch pastor in North Carolina who is extremely woke. And that is what we will expose here.
After taking over Biltmore in 2008, Bruce Frank made it a multicampus megachurch. He acquired some very high-profile connections in the process which he flexes in his most popular sermon to date, Jesus Wasn’t White. The provocative name was not merely clickbait, as the sermon was a woke lecture to a church that was criticized in the sermon for being too White.
Bruce Frank teaches that Jesus was not White making an absurd argument that a White person was impossible to find in Galilee (apparently Romans and Greeks did not exist.) Nevertheless his exegese was even worse as he proceeded to teach that in John 4, Jesus sent the disciples to buy food in order to teach them a lesson on racism. This is nowhere in the text but Bruce Frank asserts this because the Bible does not spell out that Jesus ate the food immediately when the disciples returned.
The climax of his message is when he condemns the church as a whole for being too segregated, a blame exclusively placed on White churches by implication, despite most churches not having the demography in their community to be statistically multiethnic. Nevertheless, even though Bruce Frank celebrated that his church was as multiethnic as his community, he said the church was called to be even more diverse than the community around them. In other words, his church is still too White for him.
He then touted an interview he did with Marcus Hayes, the woke preacher who was rejected by FBC Naples for being liberal on politics and sexuality.
In a more recent sermon on transgenderism, Bruce Frank would talk a lot but say little. He presents what he views as a false dichotomy of the world that says we either have to alienate or affirm transvestites and that the Bible teaches a third way. However, transgenderism is a sin that should lead to alienation and such a sexual perversion should not be tolerated in a family or church for that matter. Bruce Frank presents alienation as a bad, worldly solution but does not defend this claim, only detailing it as being labeled transphobic.
In the same sermon series, Bruce Frank defends himself from accusations of wokeness. In a similarly empty-calorie sermon on politics, Bruce Frank boasts how right-wing he is and how conservative his church is. He does this while calling his church too White and running a campaign that opposes the Mike Law Amendment which would enforce orthodoxy in the SBC.
