Latest call-in show notable facts: -1st guest from outside continental US -1st female caller -1st husband/wife caller duo -bird sound fx!

Special guest: SEAN. We first reported it back in November, and now the rest of the world has caught up. And 80 years later we are still talking Machen and Princeton. Jump into the pond with us -- we few, we frogs of brothers.

Ken Shepherd, reporter for The Washington Times is on. We talk Russell Moore, journalism, and the ditches on both sides of the road. And presbyterianism, if you can imagine. Note from CW: The title is an obscure 'Wire' reference by Wresby. At least it was not about wrestling.

The real Fake Ann Voskamp (@fakeannvoskamp) returns and talks all thing Voskampian with the boys and writer Jed Ostoich (@TheJeditor). You can read his excellent and thoughtful review of 'The Broken Way' here: https://www.fathommag.com/stories/when-meaning-matters *episode photo is photoshopped

We went on Regular Reformed Guys and talked about stuff -- TGIC, PCA, OPC/PCA dynamics, and many other things. Thanks to Alan and Ben for the audio and their bandwidth.

Dr. R. Scott Clark of Westminster Seminary California joins us to talk about his article "When Confessional P & R Congregations Do Not Exist Or Disappoint" about the lost sheep who struggle to find a confessional church in their area. Article here: https://heidelblog.net/2017/01/confessional-pr-congregations-disappoint-not-exist/

We are joined by Dan Borvan and a belated Chuck Finney for a discussion of the relationships of church and state, Christian citizen and government, gospel and culture.

We're pretty sure Meryl Streep isn't listening, either. If you're late to the party but want to sit at the table with everyone who has listened to every episode, you can get caught up with this episode. It's the table way off in the corner. Out the back door. Into the alley. When you get to the dumpster, keep walking. It's there. Trust us.

We had all-new guests (as compared to our first call-in show) so it was a fresh discussion with new (in some cases, literal) characters. Join us for some serious P&Rish edifitainment.

Airing of grievances, feats of [metaphorical] strength, and miracles abound as Presbycast returns from hiatus. Cubs-fan and newly minted postmillennial optimist Dan Borvan (@danborvan) returns, and so does Amish Ambush (@amish_ambush). Grieve with us, brothers. And have a Bearable Festivus!

Best Presbycast ever? You be the judge. But we had a Harambe of a time recording it. Be sure to follow these fine folks on Twitter, all of whom appear on the show tonight. @Amish_Ambush @XpCoulson @muddygravel @seansgame @coolmudgeon @DeanChris @acmills237 @bkben3 @ReformedintheQT @oldprinceton

Dr. Darryl Hart joins us to discuss the quirky libertarianism of J. Gresham Machen. We also reference The Wire at every opportunity. Is the election over yet?

Started from the bottom and now we here at episode 18, which is more than we ever thought we'd do. Join us as we take a look back, and a look ahead -- with lots of umbrage. And a special (...?) guest!

Dr. R. Scott Clark of Westminster Seminary California joins us to scratch the shifting surface of Federal Vision theology and ecclesiology. Excellent resources here: https://heidelblog.net/category/federal-vision/ Excellent summary here: https://www.opc.org/nh.html?article_id=478

Long awaited and finally here! The second part of Chortles Weakly's talk on worship in his (wait for it) local church.

We at Presbycast are proud to bring you this WORLD EXCLUSIVE interview that no other Reformed podcast had the stones to request. The Twitter-suspended Fake Ann Voskamp joins us for a laugh-filled chat about the non-fake Ann. Light a candle and put on your grace-boots.

The manageable and effective hubris of your hosts returns this week to discuss the unspeakable horrors of church job listings and the horrors of war that keep urban church planters up at night.

Pardon the orange glow of the episode photo -- Topher dropped his pumpkin spice latte on it. We have Charles Grandison Finney on the show, and the bright encircling python looks on anxiously.

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

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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.
