Since 2018, the Southern Baptist Convention has lost a series of high-profile leaders whose tenures ended due to controversy or misconduct. The latest to depart is Ronnie Floyd, a former megachurch pastor who resigned as president of the SBC’s Nashville-based Executive Committee in mid-October. With all of these leaders walking away, many are wondering who will ultimately lead the SBC.

Outgoing Southern Baptist Convention President J.D. Greear opened up the two-day Southern Baptist meeting using a different gavel than the one traditionally used.

So, instead of using the Broadus Gavel, Greear used the Judson Gavel, named for the first SBC missionary.
