Zach Warner is husband to Anna and the father of one son; he also has a daughter due next month. Zach and his family have been attending Christ the Word for about 2 years. We are very grateful for the time Zach gave us, as well as the openness and vulnerability he exemplified during our conversation. 

The section of the Westminster Confession of Faith that Zach references is Chapter 10, paragraph 3 (“Of Effectual Calling”), which says:
“Elect infants, dying in infancy, are regenerated, and saved by Christ through the Spirit, who worketh when, and where, and how He pleaseth. So also are all other elect persons who are incapable of being outwardly called by the ministry of the Word.”

Stay tuned for more episodes coming soon. 

Thank you for listening.
