Evangelist Shane Pruitt recently encouraged Christians not to be silenced by culture when it comes to speaking about biblical issues.
Pruitt regularly uses social media to speak to Christians. In the past, he has warned his followers about the lyrics found on Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” and cautioned Christian women not to consume the “trash” found in the film “50 Shades of Grey.”
Pruitt was also recently quoted by the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes when she defended herself against critics.
“For a very long time, the world has been bullying the church into silence on certain issues because the world wants to dominate that conversation,” Pruitt said as he started his social media video earlier this week.

He continued, “So they’ll tell the church, ‘Hey, you can’t speak on that. That’s a political issue, and you’re being too political.’”
“However, you need to realize there are certain things that were biblical truths way before they were ever political statements,” Pruitt said.
“When does life begin? That’s a biblical truth,” Pruitt said. “Who determines what marriage is? That’s a biblical truth. Who determines what sex and gender is? That’s a biblical truth.”
“See,” Pruitt said, “the world is infringing on the Word’s territory, not vice versa. [Those things] are biblical truths. So we speak where the Bible speaks. And the Bible speaks.”
