Church Planting: The What, Why, and How - Episode 235
The heartbeat of the church's mission is to worship God and to invite others to join the chorus through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Part and parcel of this endeavor, then, is church planting, the multiplication of new churches that will, in due time, become established, organized, and worshiping congregations that will seek to plant new churches themselves. As Pastor Zac considers a future in church planting, and as the conversations about the importance of church planting continue on in the Christian Reformed Church, we thought it would be good to think through this timely and important topic in what will be our second to last episode in the life of this podcast, at least as we know it today.

Growing In Your Assurance of Salvation - Episode 234
One of the perennial conundrums many Christians face is regarding the assurance of their salvation. In the Reformed tradition, it regularly comes up in the form of questions about God's providence and election; How can I be sure that God chose me? It’s a tricky doctrine, but an important one for the spiritual health, wellbeing, and sanctification of the believer. So in this week's episode, we dive into Scripture and our Reformed confessions to take a look at how we can grow in assurance of salvation.
