Charlie Nave, founder of @MOREinPCA joins CW and Wresby to talk about his organizations efforts to get more ruling elders to the PCA General Assembly. It's polity-picking, BCO-wielding fun!

Dr. Darryl G. Hart of Hillsdale College joins us to kick off a mini-series on the life of J. Gresham Machen. This discussion covers Machen's early life, education, World War I experience, and first major work -- The Origin of Paul's Religion (1921).

Wresby, CW, and Silent Topher's neighbor Amish Ambush meet up live for the first ever in-person, in-the-flesh recording experience. Topher sits in (silently)and Mrs. Wresby gets the last word...as it should be. The boys use utensils, eat food, and talk briefly about a Lone Star State kerfuffle in the PCA.

Listen in as CW and Wresby talk about many of the things they love about their presbyterian churches, flawed though they be. Marvel as their positivity wafts winsomely about the airwaves. Link to PCA overtures: www.pcaac.org/general-assembly/overtures/

Lee Irons and Chris Caughey of the Glory-Cloud Podcast (http://glorycloudpodcast.libsyn.com/) join us to talk about the life, career, and contributions of biblical theologian Meredith G. Kline.

Some of our favorite people join us for a look back at 2017 and a squint forward to 2018. This wide-ranging discussion with a diverse panel considers the present church and political climates, and -- not surprisingly -- takes a few unexpected turns.
