Podcast Addict5a year agomhampton- Layman Aboard
As a newly PCA layman who’s interested in polity, I find this podcast super interesting and informative. I don’t quite understand everything yet but I also haven’t listened to it all. Might ask my pastor some questions. Keep up the good work.

Fascinating show… If we use Dr. Frame’s triperspectivalism, one could says that Baptists consider the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 to be “situational” and Presbyterians (rightly) consider it to be “normative.”

This is going to be the most drawn out and intensive podcast that I’ll ever listen to. Like Presbytery on the go. I’m thrilled

I am looking forward to having a way of getting familiar with the BCO on audio. After hearing a reference to Vos Group, I'm interested to see if these are some old school presbyterians.
