I haven’t been writing much in the long form lately, as I’m deep into what I plan to be at least a year of intense study on the history of American revivalism and the rise of what I’ve termed the religion of Cultural Evangelicalism—something I believe is akin to the Second Great Awakening.
FBC Dallas has a long, distinguished history and was once considered the flagship church of the SBC. For a 94 year period in the 20th century, they were pastored by two men: George W. Truett and W.A. Criswell.
Criswell was especially known for his conservative theology and politics. A young Paige Patterson was once the president of the church's Criswell College. Patterson is now once again a member of that church.
To make a long story short, conservative politics are in the DNA of that church. Jeffress has kicked it up a couple of notches.
It is disgusting for women to support this in any way, shape, or form. They are a disgrace to all women. Better wake up gals before your rights are totally eroded.
I don’t know if you are aware that the photo that was posted is an AI creation. The original photo was quite different clothing-wise. They were wearing casual jeans, sweaters boots etc. Maybe Jeffress posted it because he thought it was funny, after all, he did put “church ladies” in quotes and I thought that was weird until I saw the original photo.
I can find no earlier instance of this photo, web searches are saying Jeffress was the first to post it, and AI image detectors are saying that this is a genuine picture. Do you have a link to the one you say is the original?

Notably, Truett's most famous speech is an ode to the First Amendment and the separation of church and state.
First time I hear a pastor advise the flock on their vote is the last visit I make.

I would implore you to go beyond the politics of it and think about the deeper, spiritual issues I raise in the piece.
