Glendale Baptist Church is a small Baptist church nestled in the suburbs of Nashville, TN. Associated with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Alliance of Baptists, they are led by co-pastors Zach Helton and Kelly Moreland Jones.
According to Helton’s church bio, he is “deeply shaped by the teachings of Jesus, Buddhist practice, mysticism, and perennial wisdom over any particular religious expression.”
In a recent sermon, after explaining that God had a wife named Asherah before the biblical authors concealed her identity, Helton condemns King Josiah for destroying the idols and statues of false gods during his reign, lamenting the impact it would have on young Israelite girls who needed a feminine deity to look up to.
