  • Nick Lache of the PCA?

    This podcast is hotter than 98 degrees. If the Westminster Standards make you want to sing, “I do, cherish you, with all of my soul, it’s beyond my control” or “You’ve opened my life to a new paradise” to the Divines, then you’re in the right place.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

336. Steve Dowling Saves the Day
Q: What steps should be taken to mitigate legal exposure?
Engaging independent counsel to review records, conducting forensic accounting, communicating transparently with regulators and donors, and implementing policy changes that separate ministry funding from individual control to prevent future malfeasance.
336. Steve Dowling Saves the Day
Q: What are the legal ramifications of donor-restricted contributions being redirected?
The discussion explains that reallocating donor-restricted funds can be treated as fraud in the eyes of donors and regulators, triggering investigations, subpoenas, and potential criminal exposure, depending on intent and the actions taken.
327. The PCA's Disaster Response
Q: What are the advantages of the church having a permanent warehouse?
The warehouse enables us to deploy what is needed immediately and in the right quantities, rather than waiting for purchases or donations to catch up, and then quickly bring items back when no longer needed for the next disaster.
319. Kingship, Ordination & Office in the PCA
Q: Do you see a possibility of a principled, a truly principled compromise on the issue of deacons in the PCA, or is this just who we are?
While I believe principled compromise is important in churchmanship, I think this specific issue is a line in the sand that should be tenaciously held as our historical position.
317. Women Deacons: A Gospel Issue?
Q: What are your thoughts on this halfway change to allow for an unordained diaconate?
It's a constant tension in PCA between grassrootsism and court systems, it doesn't clarify the issue.
