Lowell Ivy is a long-time friend and fellow GPTS alum who pastored Reformation Presbyterian Church, an OPC church plant, in Virginia Beach, VA, for seven years until being called in 2024 to serve as the Executive Director of the PCA's Metanoia Prison Ministries. Lowell is uniquely suited for this role as the Lord wondrously converted him in prison while serving a 15-year prison sentence for armed robbery. He is a trophy of God's grace and a testament to the saving power of God's truth.   You can learn more about Metanoia Minsitires here, hear his sermons here and read some of his Table Talk articles here.  Thanks to Greenville Seminary for generously sponsoring the show. Brothers in ministry, GPTS invites you to their 2025 Summer Seminar: Contemporary Challenges in Pastoral Ministry. Carl Trueman and David Hall will join us on campus for a series of lectures on preaching, pastoral communication, pastoring and people, and the pastor's personal life. The seminar will be held August 5-7 in Greenville, SC. Learn more here.

Special thanks to Nathan Clark George for our opening and closing instrumental. Nathan serves as the Pastor of Worship alongside Kevin DeYoung at Christ Covenant Church in Matthews, NC. You can access Nathan's fantastic catalog here.
