presbycast

For better or worse it was a live Saturday night: music, voicemails, callers. Would you believe it if we said that the subject matter was diverse? That the content and delivery were true AM radio-quality? You may watch the proceedings on YouTube. Featuring Chris Drew, @machenwarrior, the hated Drew Mills, Old School Presby, and a newly-minted presby. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kHawHKyuQs

A quick bulletin of the withdrawal of Overture 29 (allow ordination of female deacons) to the 2019 PCA General Assembly. Overtures page: https://www.pcaac.org/general-assembly/overtures/

Dr. R. Scott Clark of Westminster Seminary California joins us to answer the question "What is the Gospel?" -- and what is not. We also discuss (necessarily) a good bit of church history, including 20th century evangelicalism. Be sure to visit https://heidelblog.net/

Neil Shenvi joins us to talk about critical theory and its subset critical race theory, intersectionality, and the effect on Christian discourse and church life which these theories and concepts have. And we never once used the word "woke"-- Neil is an irenic and reasonable man. Visit his website and follow him at @NeilShenvi.

CW talks about the process of designing and building a church building with the primary focus on Reformed worship and ministry. See photos here: http://cpcbuild.blogspot.com/

CW joins pastor Mike Abendroth of No Compromise Radio to talk about a wide variety of Big Eva and little (and big) "R" issues. Thanks to Mike for allowing us to repost this for the convenience of our listeners, but do subscribe to NoCo!

Talking about Overture 29 to the 2019 PCA General Assembly to allow ordained female deacons which we describe as "a totally new unisex office without authority"-- text here (PDF link). Thanks to one of our listeners for making new equipment possible which vastly improves these in-car recordings, which should get even better as we figure it out.

Pastor Richard Harris joins us to talk about his church's recent move from the EPC to the PCA. Regular guest Chris Drew, who moved from the PCUSA to the OPC, also sits in. We talk much more about the two churches -- the EPC and ECO -- which are outside of NAPARC than we have before. This is presbyterianism at its acronymal best! Correction: We misstated some facts about the ECO's confessions -- see here.

Twitter fixture Lex Lutheran joins us for a meeting of the paedobaptist confessional minds. Our discussion is wide-ranging and includes homeless podcaster and bonafide OPC oddball Ben Woodring as well.

We are joined by @TheJeditor, a man with inside knowledge of Big Eva and her mysterious ways. We talk megachurch, worship, and the challenges facing evangelical churches. "BONUS" -- intro and outro (9 minutes!) are from another 60's Xian cringe musical.
