The Westminster Podcast

James Beevers is a PhD student at Westminster and he has an interesting personal history. He comes from a WTS family in that his father is an alumnus from the PhD program and his mother from the MAC program. But his reformed roots go potentially so deep that he may be related to Theodore Beza himself. Lineage aside, Nate and James also chat about his dissertation topic, the warning passages in Hebrews, as well as various other topics.

Hey everybody. It's been a while since the last episode of The Scottish Tempest because I really dove deep on this one, as you may be able to tell by the run time. There's a lot of ground covered in this one and a lot of details that I just couldn't overlook. I know it's a long one, but... that's kind of the point of this podcast. I'm trying to leave very few stones un-turned here and I hope that shows in the finished product. Don't be afraid to reach out to us on Twitter, (or X, or whatever we're calling it these days) or Facebook to let us know what you think about the series so far. Thanks for listening! *** Update: The audio has been updated since 9/2/25 to fix an issue where the intro was muted*** Sign up for the Preaching conference here ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://wtspreachingconference25.rsvpify.com⁠⁠⁠ If you enjoy this episode, you can access tons of content just like this at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wm.wts.edu⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

A key tool in the Pastor's leadership repertoire is the Pulpit. Too often the leadership methods of the church are modeled after corporate CEOs or self-help books. There is wisdom to be gained in those areas to be sure but Dr. Currie is calling us to look to the Scriptures and the the ministry of Christ himself to learn how to best shepherd God's flock. What we find there is that the preached word ought to be central to our leadership efforts.
