OPC pastor Todd Bordow joins us to work through a helpful article he wrote about the Revoice controversy in the PCA. Todd brings years of ministering to homosexuals and thinking and writing about sexual ethics to the table. He is also co-host of the the Glory Cloud Podcast.  https://www.theaquilareport.com/revoice-the-pca-and-a-way-forward/

The guys get together live and local at Wresby's house and talk about Presbycast's untimely birth and third(!) anniversary, their favorite podcasts, and grilling...pizza.

Ruling elders Charlie Nave of More in the PCA and Scott Hedgecock join us for a mid-PCA GA live show that could not be uploaded via our paltry hotel wifi. The first portion was broadcast live on YouTube. Excuse the occasional intrusion of loud hotel air conditioning and Wresby's early departure due to diapers or bandwidth...we don't know.

Aquila Report founder, pastor, and professor Dominic Aquila joins us to analyze the events of the 2019 PCA General Assembly and shared pastoral advice for the confused and discouraged. We spent a lot of time on the Revoice controversy and the Nashville Statement.

Pastors Nathan Eshelman and Shawn Anderson join us to talk about the RPCNA in our Tour de NAPARC. Amazingly, no psalms were sung! We also talked about their great podcast on the Westminster Standards, The Jerusalem Chamber.

We share a reading of an article about a Methodist's assessment of Machen and his supposed "tempermental idiosyncrasies" in the 1920s, and we ask "What did Machen sound like?" -- and we include an audio clip of his contemporary in Baltimore, H.L. Mencken. Here's the article: http://www.thisday.pcahistory.org/2019/06/june-10-machen-as-seen-by-a-methodist/

CW talks about the just-ended, two-day Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting, slickly led by megachurch pastor J.D. Greear. Forgive the occasional interference in the middle portions -- I forgot to turn my phone on airplane mode.

Long-serving (and long-suffering?) PCA ruling elder Bob Mattes joins to help us preview the 2019 PCAGA and understand the process, players, and parameters more fully. 

This inaugural episode of Machen Minutes features a word of introduction, a reading from the last chapter of "Christianity and Liberalism," and Machen's favorite hymn as a closing piece. #MachenMinutes Read C&L free at https://reformed.org/books/chr_and_lib/

Teaching elders Aaron Morgan and Michael Dixon of Fellowship Presbytery (South Carolina) join us by phone to talk about their presbytery's overture “Commend and Distribute RPCNA’s ‘Contemporary Perspectives Sexual Orientation: A Theological and Pastoral Analysis’”. The overture may be found here (PDF link): http://www.pcahistory.org/topicalresources/sexuality/RPCNA_Study.pdf
