    Wrapping up our live interviews from the exhibit hall at the 53rd General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America, this episode features conversations with Gabe Fluhrer, George Sayour, Josh Currie, and Matthew Everhard.

    Faithfulness in an Unfaithful Age | Live from PCA GA 53

    Another round of interviews recorded live from the exhibit hall at the 53rd General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in America. This episode features conversations with Dave Filson, Dan Millward, James Baird, and Rob Pacienza. They explore what it means to faithfully engage a rapidly changing culture—from church planting in Detroit and recovering confessional Protestantism to political theology, cultural apologetics, and the enduring relevance of the Westminster Standards. Whether the challenge is secularism, Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, or the shifting assumptions of the modern world, these conversations point to the same conclusion: Christ's church must remain rooted in Scripture while confidently proclaiming the gospel in every generation.

    Effectual Calling w/ Paul Woo | Redemption Accomplished and Applied (3)

    In this episode of our series on John Murray's Redemption Accomplished and Applied, Nate Shannon and Paul Woo explore the doctrine of effectual calling and its place in the application of redemption. What distinguishes the universal call of the gospel from God's effectual call to salvation? Why does Murray insist that calling is a sovereign act of God, and how does this preserve both the grace of God and the freedom of the believer? Along the way, the discussion touches on the order of salvation, union with Christ, the Father’s role in effectual calling, the relationship between calling and regeneration, and the biblical foundation for evangelism in Reformed theology. As Murray reminds us, the application of redemption begins with God's powerful summons, bringing sinners into fellowship with Christ and all the saving benefits found in him alone.If you enjoy this episode, you can access tons of content just like this at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠wm.wts.edu⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
