What Really Happened To Saddleback Church After Rick Warren Stepped Down

Why did the Southern Baptist Convention expel Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, one of the biggest megachurches in America? In this full breakdown, we cover the ordination of three women pastors in 2021, Rick Warren's retirement, Andy and Stacie Wood taking over Saddleback in 2022, and the historic 2023 SBC vote that ended in a 9,437 to 1,212 decision. We also cover what happened next, including the June 2026 SBC vote on women pastors that could change the denomination's constitution. #RickWarren #SaddlebackChurch #SouthernBaptistConvention #SBC #WomenPastors #AndyWood #Megachurch #ChristianNews #PurposeDrivenLife #SpadeLonely
