Elevating Our Tone

Ted Beam (@coolmudgeon) joins to talk about his journey from a cult to the OPC. We're also a bit hard on baptists. Sorry.

From London With Love

Originally planned for a prior episode, we were able to survive the brokenness of Silent Topher and get our guest booked. Dan Borvan joins us this week to talk about (SPOILER) presbyterianism, church life abroad, and a theology of glory of the Chicago Cubs. Dan is a PhD. student who is also licensed with the OPC. Dan is a former student of both Dr. R. Scott Clark and Dr. Darryl Hart, and he may or may not be blacklisted from Master's Seminary alumni events.

Worshipping with the Church part I

Our producer does anything but, so we do not have our intended guest this week. Chortles Weakly taught some classes on worship at his church and was kind enough to use good audio equipment when recording the classes. In lieu of a guest we present the first of two classes. Reformed worship is our wheelhouse, and may it become yours too.

Wrasslin' for the Reformed Confession w/ R. Scott Clark

Reformed nuggets of wisdom abound as we are joined by Dr. R. Scott Clark (@rscottclark) of Westminster Seminary California and heidelblog.net. We delve into some topics from his book "Recovering the Reformed Confession" including QIRE, QIRC, Edwards, and revivalism (including a brief detour into pro-wrestling). We had a great time until -- wait for it -- Topher messed up the audio.

Sick of Presbys? An Ecumenical Detour...

We are known for keeping our promises. And no beer reviews. We welcome the esteemed lawyer Will Barrett to the show to discuss how he became an Episcopalian after growing up in the SBC, and the conversation branches out from there. Enjoy as we also discuss where we'd go to church if our preferred polities were not available, some 2k distinctives protecting us from the "Christian personality," and what would a Presbycast be without a discussion of the liberty-focused politics of Machen? And some ...

Dang It Feels Good to Be a Presby w/ Darryl Hart

He's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! No, not Harambe. Dr. Hart aka Darryl returns to Presbycast to further discuss Redeemer's "Rise" campaign and all of the accompanying hullaballoo. We talk about the conservative convocation that wasn't, and what that won't mean for cons moving forward. Darryl talks about the OPC as a potential refuge for exiled PCA congregations and congregants -- and why it's so dang hard but so dang good to be a presbyterian. (You may or may not want to listen all the way to the end.)

Big Apple & Post-Presby

Frank Sinatra probably won't endorse our opinions, but the rat pack in the sewers might. Ever heard of a Lutheran church planting a Presbyterian church? Us neither. But the opposite? You may be surprised to hear where your money is going. Lojinks ensue.

The Presbyterian Loveboat with Dr. Darryl Hart

Chortles and Wresby discuss differences between PCA and OPC with Dr. Darryl Hart of oldlife.org. The source of the conversation starts with the following article and goes many other places, too. http://reformedforum.org/whats-difference-pca-opc/ Like three guys hogging the dart board at a bar and taking too long between throws.

The Search for More (Har)mony

Post-PCAGA discussion, including THOSE overtures and THAT committee. Decently and in order, as always.

This is our first episode. We told you we'd get here eventually. But remember... you asked for this.
