It's Presbypocalypse Now...and it sure did take a long time. Lots of listeners joined us live on Reforween to talk about nearly everything under the sun, which is to say Kanye and megachurches, mostly.

In our final pair of interviews from the 2019 Reformation Worship Conference we talk to Les Lanphere minutes after the world premiere of his new movie about worship , and we speak to the Rev.

We're pleased to offer two interviews from the 2019 Reformation Worship Conference -- first with Drs. Scott Aniol and T. David Gordon on worship and music, then a missionary-church planter to Belgium, David Lamos in which we learn about a country not often (these days) on the Reformed radar.

This second installment looks at the Westminster Confession's teaching on the church in chapter 25 and touches on the introduction to Guy Waters' book  How Jesus Runs the Church . The question at the end referred to the lack or infrequency of church discipline in many evangelical churches.

Our friend senior(ish) Christian marketplace leader Sean joins us to talk about the phenomenon of city-focused parachurch strategies as typified by one organization's promotional video . Learn more here .

Enjoy an old-school show with Wresby and CW talking tacos and answering listener questions to the best of their limited ability. The ending is a 20-minute section of a bizarro Old Testament Christian rock opera from the early 70s...so you know what to expect.

Our good friend Hutch joins us to talk about Jordan Peterson and his  controversial intersection with Christianity and our culture...and what it could mean. Be sure to check out Hutch's YouTube channel for more great content.

CW and @OddDeacon reflect on their visit to the local megachurch's movie-based content series/80s pop culture-fest. Suffice it to say that they are content to stay with boring, regulated presbyterian worship for now. This is not a troll job, but a serious discussion of the elements of worship. And there's a bit of trolling.

Deacons Tim Hopper  and Odd Deacon join us along with semi-regular Ben Woodring to talk about The Chicken Sandwich War (complete with reviews), the Chik-fil-A cult, a new Machen website, Ben's book of confessions, and more. Is this the show that jumped the shark or hooked and landed it? Tim's Machen site:  https://www.readmachen.com/ Ben's book is here .

Thanks to a host of Twitter friends who joined us to help design the worst imaginable Christian conference/festival.
