Are we serious about our faith? What is our view of the church? Is it the gathering of two or three people, outside of ecclesiastical oversight? In this episode, Rev. Dr. Paul Michael Raymond and Elder Paul Coviello discuss the importance of the community of saints. 

In this episode, Rev. Dr. Paul Michael Raymond and Elder Paul Coviello discuss the Christian response to public schools. There is so such thing as an irreligious education experience. 

Fear is paralyzing. How do we overcome fear? 

Instead of letting fear stifle us, we are to look to God's Word. We trust God for salvation but our trust must go beyond that. We must never lose sight that God is the absolute sovereign. What befalls us happens for our benefit and His glory. 

What is freedom? Are we free here in America? How do we attain liberty?

In a discussion with Elder Paul Coviello, Rev. Dr. Paul Michael Raymond looks at the foundations of liberty. Together they delve into practical solutions for cultivating a free society. Among those solutions, Raymond points to the pulpit. Unfortunately, when the pulpit is compromised, you will find unchallenged and disengaged congregations. 

In this episode of Tactical Recon, Rev. Dr. Paul Michael Raymond is joined by Elder Paul Coviello in a thought-provoking discussion on the nuts and bolts of Christian action. Learn how to engage with your community with a long-term vision.

Christian action requires a long-term vision beyond the here and now. The Christian is not called to hide out but to engage in the home, church, and community. This is how we confront the Goliath of our day.  

Part two of our three-part series on the New Geneva tagline focuses on Leadership.  This episode features Dr. Paul Michael Raymond as he discusses what it means to be a leader. 

Leadership is done by example, not by barking orders, Raymond explains.  He goes on to discuss the traits of a leader. Being a leader involves a desire to be a servant of God. Raymond points to Christ as the model leader for the Christian.

Check out the new Tactical Recon podcast. Our first episode opens with the start of a three-part series discussing the New Geneva tagline — “Scholarship, Leadership, and Action. The podcast features our dean, Dr. Paul Michael Raymond. Raymond discusses scholarship and why it matters in Christendom today. 

“Scholarship is not an ivory tower”, cautions Raymond. “It’s not about head knowledge without application. The Christian’s walk must go beyond knowledge. Biblical knowledge is important and needful but it must be transferred into a daily walk.”
