presbycast

Long awaited and finally here! The second part of Chortles Weakly's talk on worship in his (wait for it) local church.

We at Presbycast are proud to bring you this WORLD EXCLUSIVE interview that no other Reformed podcast had the stones to request. The Twitter-suspended Fake Ann Voskamp joins us for a laugh-filled chat about the non-fake Ann. Light a candle and put on your grace-boots.

The manageable and effective hubris of your hosts returns this week to discuss the unspeakable horrors of church job listings and the horrors of war that keep urban church planters up at night.

Pardon the orange glow of the episode photo -- Topher dropped his pumpkin spice latte on it. We have Charles Grandison Finney on the show, and the bright encircling python looks on anxiously.

Ted Beam (@coolmudgeon) joins to talk about his journey from a cult to the OPC. We're also a bit hard on baptists. Sorry.

Originally planned for a prior episode, we were able to survive the brokenness of Silent Topher and get our guest booked. Dan Borvan joins us this week to talk about (SPOILER) presbyterianism, church life abroad, and a theology of glory of the Chicago Cubs. Dan is a PhD. student who is also licensed with the OPC. Dan is a former student of both Dr. R. Scott Clark and Dr. Darryl Hart, and he may or may not be blacklisted from Master's Seminary alumni events.

Our producer does anything but, so we do not have our intended guest this week. Chortles Weakly taught some classes on worship at his church and was kind enough to use good audio equipment when recording the classes. In lieu of a guest we present the first of two classes. Reformed worship is our wheelhouse, and may it become yours too.

Reformed nuggets of wisdom abound as we are joined by Dr. R. Scott Clark (@rscottclark) of Westminster Seminary California and heidelblog.net. We delve into some topics from his book "Recovering the Reformed Confession" including QIRE, QIRC, Edwards, and revivalism (including a brief detour into pro-wrestling). We had a great time until -- wait for it -- Topher messed up the audio.

We are known for keeping our promises. And no beer reviews. We welcome the esteemed lawyer Will Barrett to the show to discuss how he became an Episcopalian after growing up in the SBC, and the conversation branches out from there. Enjoy as we also discuss where we'd go to church if our preferred polities were not available, some 2k distinctives protecting us from the "Christian personality," and what would a Presbycast be without a discussion of the liberty-focused politics of Machen? And some football coach whose name rhymes with "Satan."

He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! No, not Harambe. Dr. Hart aka Darryl returns to Presbycast to further discuss Redeemer's "Rise" campaign and all of the accompanying hullaballoo. We talk about the conservative convocation that wasn't, and what that won't mean for cons moving forward. Darryl talks about the OPC as a potential refuge for exiled PCA congregations and congregants -- and why it's so dang hard but so dang good to be a presbyterian. (You may or may not want to listen all the way to the end.)
