Pastor Ken Silva is with Connecticut River Baptist Church in Claremont, New Hampshire. Pastor John Cardwell is with Skamon Bay Covenant Church in Skamon Bay Alaska. Pastor Paul Walker is with Elm Avenue Baptist Church in Grand Junction, Colorado.
All three pastors write for the Christian Research Network website.
The main thrust of the program deals with the emergent church movement. Pastor Silva describes this movement as an emergent rebellion against the Bible as well as being a new liberal cult where liberal theology has been repainted.
The program highlights certain early warning signs that a church may be moving in the emergent direction. These include the concept of coming into the presence of God through silence, not wanting to allow God to grow your church, new terminology like "deconstruction" and "transformation", the denial of absolute truth, and the move back to certain Roman Catholic traditions.
