Retired Grove City College professor Dr. T. David Gordon joins us to talk about one of his special interests, the Westminster doctrine of the spirituality of the church.

 Sarah and Zoe are joined by three guests, each from different backgrounds, who were persuaded into a confessional view - Sara Drew from being a PCUSA minister, Charles Higham from holding a Side B view of sexuality, and Job Dalomba from being a Baptist minister, each of them to a more confessional view. We talk through how they were persuaded, including discussing the perspicuity and power of Scripture, the Westminster Confession, and even online debate contributed to our guests changing their views.

Sarah and Zoe join Wilson Van Hooser on his podcast, Gospel Gazing, for a discussion about women’s ministry in a Presbyterian and Reformed context—what Reformed women’s ministry looks like, how to encourage a healthy women’s ministry in the local church, distinguishing the marks of good and bad teaching material, and why we think the PCA is a wonderful place to be as Christian women.  Subscribe to the Gospel Gazing podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gospel-gazing-podcast/id1622067047

Some podcasts you listen to and think "Hmm, needs more cowbell." Others seem to be nothing but sounding gongs and clanging cowbell. This podcast has just the right amount of cowbell.

A great and encouraging example of the Reformed tradition and Prebyterianism crossing cultural lines. Evening in the midst of persecution. Don't let Big Eva tell you otherwise.
