presbycast

Historian Miles Smith IV of Hillsdale College and ARP minister Ben Glaser, a West Virginian in South Carolina, join us to talk about the ahistorical assault on "Bible Belt religion" by progressive evangelicals and the cultured despisers. We talked depravity, heritage, liturgy, and ways to honor our fathers and mothers according to the flesh and in the faith.

Revoice, judicial decisions, and now leaked emails from a powerful lobbying group...times are tough in the PCA in 2021 and 2022 looks stormy. A ruling elder and a teaching elder join us to talk about all this and more.

Wresby and some miscreants rate horror movies for hours...that's it, that's the show. CW wasn't there because DIDN'T SEE IT. This was our WE HAVE TO DO THIS OR WE LOSE THE YOUNG PEOPLE show...so truly the most revivalist-culturalist Presbycast ever. And since all horror movies are just morality plays it is also our most pietistic show.

Dr. Dominc Aquila and pastor Jared Nelson join CW and Amish Ambush to size up the PCA SJC decision on the Missouri Presbytery/Greg Johnson case. Read the decision (linked from this page): https://byfaithonline.com/sjc-rules-on-complaint-against-missouri-presbytery/

We are joined by writer Esther O'Reilly who has followed the gay Christian/Side B movement for almost 10 years and has written extensively on the subject. She's currently bringing her perspective and experience to bear on an analysis of the latest Revoice conference. We also talked about similarities between current controversies in the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) and the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Here's just one of Esther's many articles on the subject: https://northamanglican.com/a-tempest-observed-reflections-on-sexuality-and-the-acna/ 

Zoe the Presby Girl fills in for busy Wresby and Third Presbycaster Rev. Chris Drew joins us to dissect Carl Trueman's First Things article on the similarities of today's evangelical elites to yesteryear's Schleiermachian liberals. https://www.firstthings.com/article/2021/11/the-failure-of-evangelical-elites

Reformed thinker Gregory Baus joins us to examine the thorny issues of political compliance and resistance from an historical Reformed confessional and biblical perspective. See his annotated bibliography here: https://tinyurl.com/RefoPoliResistBib And explore the challenging concept of Reformed anarchy (which probably doesn't mean what ou think it means) here: https://tinyurl.com/refoanarchism Video link (with timestamps and notes from Greg in the comments): https://youtu.be/hC95p88UzKg

Pastor Chris Drew joins us for a doctrinal and pastoral discussion of the challenging and encouraging fifth chapter of the Westminster Confession of Faith, Of Providence.

Two PCA ruling elders and Dr. Dominic Aquila join us to examine conflicting advice about the SSA-related overtures now before the presbyteries of the PCA. We begin by breaking down a recent conversation from a new video series by Dr. Aquila and pastor Fred Greco about PCA polity, then we move to conflicting advice from two wings of the PCA on overtures 23 and 37.

PCA pastors Dr. Dominic Aquila and Fred Greco talk about the importance of overtures 23 and 37 (concerning officer examination and qualifications, triggered by the Revoice/SSA controversy) as they begin to come before presbyteries for approval.
