  • His Banner of Truth

    A relaxing (the narrator's delivery) if not spiritually & intellectually edifying podcast.

    In a world of shallow thinking & veneered truth (even within the church), Banner of Truth offers depth of thought & truth of substance.

    "...they exchanged the truth about God for a lie..." Romans 1:25

  • Quickly becoming my favorite podcast

    Everything the Banner of Truth produces is excellent, and this is no exception. Years of reading their magazine has taught me each article in it has value. Some may not look interesting at first, but when I read them, I realise how beneficial they all are. The podcast is the same way. I have thoroughly enjoyed each episode, and I cannot wait until Monday when the next one is released. Joshua does a great job as host. Very highly recommended. And to the Banner - thank you!!

  • Refreshing

    I am very thankful under God for the Banner of Truth. This podcast is a real blessing and the host is clear and pleasant. Voices from the past are essential for us to hear because, though they had their blind spots, they weren’t the same blind spots that we have; and so they shine light in our dark and overlooked corners.

  • Excellent

    I’ve been a subscriber to the Banner magazine for many years. It’s great to have the option to enjoy some of the gold that has been mined out of the archives of this quality reformed periodical in audio form! The production quality is excellent and the presenters have great reading voices. We hope this will bring many more people into contact with the Banner Magazine and Banner books. Praise God for this resource !

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Spurgeon's Pastoral Wisdom (Geoff Chang Interview)
Q: Was Spurgeon himself a good administrator and did he have administrative gifts that went along with his preaching and teaching?
Geoff notes Spurgeon delegated administrative tasks to elders and deacons and operated at an oversight level, with his brother handling more day-to-day administrative needs, while he provided broad strategic leadership.
Spurgeon's Pastoral Wisdom (Geoff Chang Interview)
Q: What are one or two areas where you think Spurgeon's perspective can refresh us in church practice today?
He highlights the importance of congregational prayer, disciplined church membership processes, and an emphasis on a 'working church' where lay members are engaged in evangelism and service.
Spurgeon's Pastoral Wisdom (Geoff Chang Interview)
Q: Could you tell us about that work and maybe give us one or two highlights from your doctoral research into what you learned of Spurgeon as a church leader, as an ecclesiologist?
Geoff reflects on Spurgeon's robust ecclesiology, his care for church governance, and how his ministry balanced pastoral care with organizational leadership, including church membership and discipline as essential components of church health.
Meet the Trustees: Robert Strivens (BONUS)
Q: Could you tell us about the Reformed Baptist Study Centre and the next phase of your work?
Robert explains the plan to retire from pastoral duties while continuing to lecture, teach, and write, and to lead the new Reformed Baptist Study Centre to promote serious theological study across the country.
Meet the Trustees: Robert Strivens (BONUS)
Q: What does it mean to be a trustee of the Banner of Truth?
The role involves oversight of finances and publishing, participation in conferences, and a sense of privilege and responsibility given the trust's history and mission to serve God's people through books and events.
