Happy Monday, friends. We have a new episode for you all about conservative voices. Joining us is CRC pastor and YouTuber, Rev. Paul VanderKlay. With an interest in the higher-level conversations going on in the world, especially on the conservative side, we thought he'd be a great guest to have as we think how to best listen to and engage with conservative non-Christian figures. Think Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, etc. We hope this episode is informative for you.

We're back with a great new episode for you! To finally round out our series on the Marks of the True Church, we were privileged to have Dr. Guy Waters join us for this episode on the Lord's Supper! Dr. Waters has done extensive work on this topic, so we were excited to glean from his knowledge on the Lord's Supers' history, fencing the table, and the importance of what it means to discern the body. We also cover the hot topic of paedocommunion.

Be sure to check out Dr. Waters work to learn more about this topic amongst many others! 

We hope this episode is helpful for you. If you want to listen to more in this series, be sure to check out episodes 67, 70 and 78. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
