SBCU recently ran a poll asking respondents what entity in the SBC was most influential.
As you will see below, respondents were provided with four options as well as an invitation to contribute other answers in reply.
The four listed options were:
- Annual Meeting Messengers
- The North American Mission Board
- The SBC Executive Committee
- Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
One respondent suggested that Lifeway Christian Resources be included:

Herschel York pressed like on this egalitarian guilt-manipulation. Mohler needs to exercise more influence on @SBTS faculty first. pic.twitter.com/uiWuB1NpBF
