Voddie Baucham, a prominent pastor, author, and theologian, passed away unexpectedly on September 25, following a medical emergency. He was known for his passionate commitment to preaching the Gospel, equipping believers, and promoting a biblical worldview. His voice resonated with many as he advocated for family integrity, biblical education, Christian Nationalism, and opposing Social Justice from a faith perspective.
Born in the United States, Voddie dedicated his life to ministry and education, leading congregations and influencing countless individuals through his writings and public speaking. His deep theological insights and unwavering dedication to truth made him a beloved figure in Christian circles around the world.
Most recently, he led the newly launched Founders Seminary after spending nearly a decade in Zambia training pastors.
Voddie is survived by his loving wife and children, who were his pride and joy. His legacy will continue to impact those who knew him and those who were inspired by his messages of hope, faith, and perseverance.
He will be deeply missed, but his teachings and the lives he touched will continue to echo through the hearts of many. Well done, good and faithful servant.

All the Calvinists are dying out. James White is all that’s left.
He was the real deal. He will be missed here but heaven gains a saint.
Voddie was the type of pastor that captivated you from the very beginning of his sermons. So much so that I looked for his vids daily. And to know that he was actually on the mend & found out that he wasn’t going to have to get a heart transplant was exciting news. And then to see him in a vid so happy that he was getting better & now he’s gone. And it’s truly a double edged sword bcuz on the one hand he’s no longer in pain & he’s with the Lord Jesus Christ Almighty in heaven. With all of his family members & friends who have passed before him. And on the other hand those are still here mourn the loss of him. But we know that he’s in complete bliss in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ Almighty. May Abba Father continue to Watch Over & Bless & Protect his family & his ministry. May his Holy Spirit dwell amongst them all. And may his Beautiful Presence be felt like a warm blanket wrapped around them all Comforting Nurturing & Upholding them all. And may his Perfect Peace which surpasses all understanding be found in their hearts & minds in Jesus name I pray, Amen!
Another one probably taken out by the c-19 bioweapon. So sad. My review after reading his 2021 book, “Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism’s Looming Catastrophe” (highly recommended):
———
“Written by an educated, awake, and spiritual black man which lends it even more weight. Great insight on Biblical justice vs ‘social justice’ (non-Biblical). Describes the origins of CRT and anti-white ideology (a cult in his terms) so that you clearly understand what it is and why the attempt by white pastors to incorporate CRT into their messages is contrary to God’s justice and His Word. Well researched. All Christian leaders should read this book.
“This quote from his book demonstrates why modern churches pushing ‘Israel is the chosen one’ are so wrong. Much of the book discussing the black-white social justice divide can be applied to the false doctrine of modern-day Israel being God’s chosen.
“The Jew-Gentile divide was far more significant than the black-white one. If Christ took care of that on the cross, how much more did He take care of any man-made divisions we face today?”

Also see the documentary film, “Enemies Within the Church” (2021) and the book “Shepherds for Sale” (2024).
