presbycast

Rev. William Castro, Archbishop G. Vijay Raju, and Dr. Jonathan Master speak to us at the Reformation Worship Conference. From Peru to Greenville, from India, from...the Alliance -- three interesting guests that demonstrate the range of Reformed witness. https://emmanuelupstate.org/ http://www.placefortruth.org/

This show features conversations with Terry Johnson, a pastor and prolific author, and Chad Van Dixhoorn of RTS, an authority on the Westminster Assembly and standards. The interviews were recorded at the Reformation Worship Conference at Midway PCA in Powder Springs, GA. Below you'll find links to each man's books and to the Westminster Assembly Project. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=terry+johnson+worship https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=chad+van+dixhoorn&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Achad+van+dixhoorn https://www.westminsterassembly.org/

In our first interview from the Reformation Worship Conference at Midway PCA in Powder Springs, GA we talk to Zack Groff (@zgroff24) of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary about the seminary and its podcast, the PCA, and social media. A certain mustache may also come up. This is the first of several episodes made up of interviews recorded at this conference.

Wresby and CW are joined by two real living breathing deacons to discuss their role in a Reformed church. See Tim's resources at http://reformeddeacon.com/ And since we mentioned it -- to ordain or not to ordain? https://chortlesweakly.weebly.com/tkny-on-deacs.html

Three guests --@acmills237, @NatePaschall, and @pseudoABoethius join Wresby and CW to talk tacos, desert islands, celebrity pastors, and smoking hot current ecclesial events. Slide into that virtual Taco Bell corner booth and join us.

Everyone's favorite presby Dan Borvan, an OPC ministerial intern, joins again to discuss things Reformational and a major issue for the Reformers -- images of Christ. And before you're offended -- the image on the pope's hat is that of Mary, not a person of the Trinity...last time we checked. The article we referenced in the first half of the show: http://byfaithonline.com/protestant-catholic-relations-on-the-500th-anniversary-of-the-reformation/ Here are some links for the Second Helvetic Confession which we referenced: www.ccel.org/creeds/helvetic.htm www.wscal.edu/personal-pages/sec…nfession-1561-1566 www.monergism.com/second-helvetic-confession-ebook

Jed Ostoich (https://twitter.com/thejeditor) joins Wresby and CW for the second go-round -- this time to discuss the shadowy and worrying world of ghostwriting and content creation in The Gospel-Industrial Complex/Big Eva. Read Jed at https://www.fathommag.com/ or see http://jedostoich.org/

Presbyterian cool guy Dan Borvan, an OPC pastoral intern, wades in for the third time with us to discuss the trickle of errant baptismal practices and sacramental innovation -- and minimization -- among the P&R in the 21st century. From here we launch into a broader discussion of church order and ordinary means of grace ministry. CORRECTION: John Piper's church never adopted his preference for allowing infant-baptized members without rebaptism. Bethlehem Baptist is not a dual-mode church.

Direct message us for contact details for the Houston area church we mentioned. http://www.cckpca.org/katy-houston-flood-relief This episode also contains several (mostly) flood-themed selections from our little shop of gospel music oddities. We're told this church -- swpres.org -- is flooded and the congregation is hard hit. They are in need. Christ Church Katy will no doubt be helping them, too. We have contact info for Southwest Pres if anyone wants it.

Wresby and Chortles join Colleen (@reformed_gal) and Ashley (@ash_reforming)of the @TheologyGals podcast for a presby polity pow-wow. NOTE: the bumper music is ours, not theirs. Apologies as necessary... http://biblethumpingwingnut.com/theology-gals/
