In Shepherds for Sale, Megan Basham documents how progressive power-brokers — from George Soros, to the founder of eBay, to former members of the Obama administration— set out to change the American church. Their goal: to co-opt evangelicals for political purposes. She exposes:

• The left-wing billionaires, foundations, and think tanks that deliberately target Christian media, universities, megachurches, nonprofits, and even entire denominations
• The celebrity megachurch pastor who secretly encouraged a group of pastors to change their views on sexuality
• The revered Presbyterian theologian who backed a congregation rebelling against his own denomination

Many evangelical leaders are pushing their members to “whisper” about sexual sins, reconsider the importance of abortion, lament the effects of climate change, and repent of “perpetuating systemic racism.” And in exchange for toeing a left-wing line, many of those church leaders and institutions have received cash, career jumps, prestige, and praise. Basham brings the receipts, and names names.

A rigorously reported exposé, Shepherds for Sale is a warning of what happens when the church trusts the world’s wisdom instead of Scripture.

Basham is an American writer with two books in her repertoire, and she is also a culture reporter for the Daily Wire.  She is known as a persistent presence on social media including her fiery posts on X .  In 2024, Meg received the Boniface Award from the Association of Classical Christian Schools for her "fearless and faithful journalism."
