BREAKING NEWS: 

• This is the first ever, Saturday edition of Fighting for the Faith. In this episode we ask if Steven Furtick and the Code Orange Revival are purposely covering up and suppressing Matt Chandler's sermon? Fact is they edited OUT Chandler's sermon for the rebroadcasts of last nights revival. We ask why? You can hear Chandler's sermon in this special episode.

**Update**

At 9:18 AM Eastern Standard Time Steven Furtick sent out a Tweet apologizing for the "programming change".

Here's the Tweet

Furtick's "explanation" doesn't make any sense and only raises more questions.

Questions like:

1. Who made the decision to EDIT OUT the sermon from the Code Orange Revival re-broadcasts?

2. Why was the decision made to EDIT OUT the sermon from the Code Orange Revival re-broadcasts?

3. How on earth does it make any sense for anyone to make the decision to EDIT OUT the sermon from the Code Orange Revival re-broadcasts? Isn't that like a hamburger joint making the decision to sell hamburgers with no meat?

Fact is, Furtick's "explanation" is a flimsy effort at spin/damage control and an admission that a deliberate decision was made to remove Chandler's sermon from the first two rebroadcasts.

I'll be discussing this more on Monday's edition of Fighting for the Faith.
