In our first interview from the Reformation Worship Conference at Midway PCA in Powder Springs, GA we talk to Zack Groff (@zgroff24) of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary about the seminary and its podcast, the PCA, and social media. A certain mustache may also come up. This is the first of several episodes made up of interviews recorded at this conference. Conference website -- http://w...

Wresby and CW are joined by two real living breathing deacons to discuss their role in a Reformed church. See Tim's resources at http://reformeddeacon.com/ And since we mentioned it -- to ordain or not to ordain? https://chortlesweakly.weebly.com/tkny-on-deacs.html

Three guests --@acmills237, @NatePaschall, and @pseudoABoethius join Wresby and CW to talk tacos, desert islands, celebrity pastors, and smoking hot current ecclesial events. Slide into that virtual Taco Bell corner booth and join us.

Everyone's favorite presby Dan Borvan, an OPC ministerial intern, joins again to discuss things Reformational and a major issue for the Reformers -- images of Christ. And before you're offended -- the image on the pope's hat is that of Mary, not a person of the Trinity...last time we checked. The article we referenced in the first half of the show: http://byfaithonline.com/protestant-catholic-rela...

Jed Ostoich (https://twitter.com/thejeditor) joins Wresby and CW for the second go-round -- this time to discuss the shadowy and worrying world of ghostwriting and content creation in The Gospel-Industrial Complex/Big Eva. Read Jed at https://www.fathommag.com/ or see http://jedostoich.org/

Presbyterian cool guy Dan Borvan, an OPC pastoral intern, wades in for the third time with us to discuss the trickle of errant baptismal practices and sacramental innovation -- and minimization -- among the P&R in the 21st century. From here we launch into a broader discussion of church order and ordinary means of grace ministry. CORRECTION: John Piper's church never adopted his preference for all...

Direct message us for contact details for the Houston area church we mentioned. http://www.cckpca.org/katy-houston-flood-relief This episode also contains several (mostly) flood-themed selections from our little shop of gospel music oddities. We're told this church -- swpres.org -- is flooded and the congregation is hard hit. They are in need. Christ Church Katy will no doubt be helping them, too....

Wresby and Chortles join Colleen (@reformed_gal) and Ashley (@ash_reforming)of the @TheologyGals podcast for a presby polity pow-wow. NOTE: the bumper music is ours, not theirs. Apologies as necessary... http://biblethumpingwingnut.com/theology-gals/

Dr R. Scott Clark joins a solo-flying Chortles Weakly for a discussion of an essential element of Reformed piety and practice -- scripturally-regulated worship. Some call this the regulative principle of worship (RPW). Here's a link to a massive list of worship resources from Dr Clark's Heidelblog: https://heidelblog.net/resources-on-the-rule-of-worship/ Two previous things from Presbycast on wors...

A voicemail from Silent Topher, Pranceghazi, and store brand Nutella. And the GOAT of all outro songs.

Well we never thought we'd be talking ballet when we started this, but total depravity finds a way. And John Hammond, the neighbor of Topher's memaw is back on and as articulate as ever.

The #PCAGA review episode. We walked among you. Report: http://www.pcaac.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Actions-of-the-45th-GA-2017.pdf Another take: http://www.mortificationofspin.org/mos/podcast/43161

Todd Pruitt guests with us, because we give the people what they want. #PCAGA is coming up, so we decided we'd better talk about it. Also other things. Lots of laughter. We really enjoyed making this one.

CW talks about Tim Keller, his model for ministry and its implications for the PCA.

It's happening again -- another call in show.

R. Scott Clark is back to talk Sabbath and sacraments. Here's the link to the Lane Keister paper on intinction: http://theaquilareport.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/IntinctionPaper.pdf
