TEs Thomas Rickard & Samuel Brewer join to provide clarity and context for the ongoing discussion in the PCA regarding women "deacons" and "deaconesses in the PCA.

Has a new day dawned in the PCA with the nomination of TE Fred Greco to serve as Stated Clerk? If elected, will TE Greco serve more as a mailman or a mascot for the PCA?

TE Ken Wojnarowski joins the program to discuss recent holiday advice from the PCA's Refugee & Immigrant Ministry that was picked up by Conservative Twitter. Was the advice all that controversial? A judgment of charity suggests it was not, but does raise concerns when viewed in the wider context.
