FATHERS & BROTHERS: Turning the Ear Into an Eye" - Dr. Neil Stewart talks to Jim McCarthy
Dr. Neil Stewart has served churches in the ARP and PCA for the last 22 years and is currently the pastor of the historic Frist Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC. He has contributed to a handful of theological magazines and books including A Pastor’s Heart, the Life and Ministry of Harry Reeder. You can access his excellent sermons here. If you like this show, you’ll love Greenville Seminary’s new podcast, the Dead Presbyterians Society. This podcast is built on a very simple conviction: in order to be faithful in the present, we must be rooted in the past. The old paths of Presbyterianism in the 18th and 19th century have much to teach us about the path we walk today. Each weekly, 30-minute episode highlights the life and work of mighty men of faith used of God like Archibald Alexander, B.M. Palmer, and Charles Hodge and explores enduring themes of their lives and ministries. Listen here; gpts.edu/dead-presbyterians-society. Special thanks to Nathan Clark George for our opening and closing instrumental. Nathan serves as the Pastor of Worship alongside Kevin DeYoung at Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, NC. You can access Nathan's fantastic catalog here.

Dr. Willborn is widely considered to be an authority on the office of deacon and has written extensively on the subject.
