presbycast

 The Presbygirls are back with a slightly different kind of show this time - we interviewed PCA minister Perry McCall and his wife Robin about their son's cancer diagnosis at 8, and what it was like for their family and Perry's ministry. The McCalls take us through the timeline of Andrew's treatment, covering topics like the encouragement of the local church, the importance of the Lord's day, and guiding children through hard and severe situations.
