presbycast

On a variety live show we heard from a listener, a pastor leaving the PCA, a PCA pastor wrestling with the challenges of the Corona virus pandemic, and we heard an excellent presentation by a PCA pastor on Calvin's Geneva during a plague pandemic....and more including a deep catalog REM cut which intersects with (and inspired?) our own bumper music! Check out Pastor Matthew Everhard's YouTube channel.

We talk with Camden Bucey of Reformed Forum on all things Reformed, Presbyterian, conferential, and podcastological at the Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary conference.

We were honored to speak with Peruvian pastor Alonzo Ramirez about his work in church planting, translation, and presbyterian church building by ordinary means of grace ministry in the Cajamarca region of Peru. Learn more about Peru Mission here and about his resources here.

We talk about a fascinating digital time capsule with Dr. R. Scott Clark, Odd Deacon, and Kirk Cicero, and the discussion covers the gospel, Federal Vision, singing, a certain region of Idaho....and many more oddities of modern Reformed-dom. We start slow with some connection issues, but the discussion really got going. Here's the 2004 "social media" bomb that prompted our discussion: http://www.presbyteriannews.org/volumes/v10/1/pr38.pdf

We speak with Pastor C, a Taiwanese-born American pastor ministering in China, about persecution, epidemics, and the prospects for presbyterianism in China. The bumper music is Psalm 23 in Mandarin.

We talk about the news of a new stated clerk for the PCA and the concept of REFORMED FUNDAMENTALISTS in a freewheeling live format. Links: https://ca.thegospelcoalition.org/columns/ad-fontes/what-is-a-reformed-fundamentalist/ https://www.pcaac.org/bryan-chapell-message/

Bivocational minister Tom Powell talks about his very unusual and rewarding ministry as an out-of-bounds PCA teaching elder on an isolated Maine island. We guarantee you've never heard a story quite like his. Follow him on Twitter at @thomasmpowell.

CW provides an update on PCA procedural-judicial actions seeking to address the controversy surrounding a Revoice-affiliated pastor and church. Here is the referenced article: https://byfaithonline.com/sjc-committee-to-review-applicability-of-bco-34-1-to-johnson-case/ Overtures may be viewed here: https://pcaga.org/resources/#overtures

Gather round the internet machine with CW and Wresby and enjoy some Presbycast gospel music of the 60s and 70s small-time, regional, vanity press variety in high-quality mono! View the proceedings with album art visuals on YouTube.

Dr. Jim Cassidy of South Austin Presbyterian Church (OPC) in Texas joins us to talk about his recent article "The Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy and the Spirit of Schleiermacher," which examines the German theologian's influence over two centuries. And we ask if the spirit of Schleiermacher is still with us today.
