Is there a coming judgment day for believers? On this episode of the Pactum, Pat is joined by T. Jeff Taylor who says, “There is no coming Judgment Day for the believer.” T. Jeff Taylor s a retired pastor, a graduate of Westminster Seminary California, the author of the book More Than Heaven: A Biblical Theological Argument for a Federal View of Glorification, and one who has done an excellent job of distilling the theological instruction of Meredith Kline. You can find more from Jeff on his website.

In this doctrinally rich session, Dr. Samuel Renihan explains how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are truly distinct yet fully and equally God. Using a "5–4–3–2–1" framework, he explores eternal relations and personal properties: five notions, four relations, three properties, two processions, and one divine essence. This session clarifies how classical Trinitarian theology avoids both tritheism and modalism. Rather than being distinguished by role or rank, each person is identified by eternal origin—such as the Father's begetting of the Son and the Spirit's procession. Dr. Renihan carefully guides listeners through the biblical foundations and confessional categories that safeguard orthodoxy. While the content is technical, it is deeply important for anyone seeking to understand and articulate the mystery and majesty of the Triune God. Key Scriptures: John 15:26; Psalm 2:7; Matthew 3:16–17 Speaker Bio: Dr. Samuel Renihan is pastor of Trinity Reformed Baptist Church in La Mirada, California. He holds an MDiv from Westminster Seminary California and a PhD from the Free University of Amsterdam. He is the author of The Mystery of Christ, Deity and Decree, and Crux, Mors, Inferi. About the Conference: Confessing the Faith promotes reverent teaching on the doctrine of God as expressed in the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession. Each year focuses on one chapter of the confession. Upcoming: Join us in April 2026 for Chapter 3 – Of God's Decree Details and registration: www.confessingthefaith.ca

Dr. Samuel Renihan presents a clear, biblical, and confessional overview of the doctrine of the Trinity—one God in three eternal subsistences: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He explains how the Second London Confession reflects both the unity and the distinctions within the Godhead, and why these distinctions are based on eternal relations of origin, not merely role or function. This session helps guard against errors such as tritheism or modalism, and instead reinforces historic orthodoxy. Listeners will come away with a better grasp of the biblical basis for the Trinity and why it matters for worship, salvation, and spiritual life. Key Scriptures: Matthew 28:19; John 1:1–3; 2 Corinthians 13:14 Speaker Bio: Dr. Samuel Renihan is pastor of Trinity Reformed Baptist Church in La Mirada, California. He holds an MDiv from Westminster Seminary California and a PhD from the Free University of Amsterdam. He is the author of The Mystery of Christ, Deity and Decree, and Crux, Mors, Inferi. About the Conference: Confessing the Faith promotes reverent teaching on the doctrine of God as expressed in the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession. Each year focuses on one chapter of the confession. Upcoming: Join us in April 2026 for Chapter 3 – Of God's Decree Details and registration: www.confessingthefaith.ca

In this opening message of the Confessing the Faith 2025 Conference, Dr. Samuel Renihan sets the theological foundation by introducing the doctrine of classical theism and its connection to confessional unity. Drawing from the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (1689), he shows how the historic church has confessed the nature of God with precision, humility, and care. Dr. Renihan challenges the church today to recover this clarity—rejecting novelty in our language about God and holding fast to the "pattern of sound words" that promotes lasting unity across generations and denominations. This session also lays out the broader purpose of the conference: equipping believers to joyfully confess the doctrine of God as revealed in Scripture and summarized in our confessional heritage. Key Scriptures: Jeremiah 31:34 – "They shall all know Me…" 2 Timothy 1:13–14 – "Hold fast the pattern of sound words…" Hebrews 13:7–9 – "Remember those… who have spoken the word of God to you…" Speaker Bio: Dr. Samuel Renihan is pastor of Trinity Reformed Baptist Church in La Mirada, California.

Join us for a pastoral deep-dive into this ancient sermon that still speaks to weary believers wrestling with doubt and endurance.

ABOUT THE GUEST:

What makes a long-term pastorate successful? How do internships shape future ministers? And what does it look like to grow as a preacher over decades of ministry? In this episode of the Expositors Collective Podcast, Rev. Dr. Danny Hyde joins Mike Neglia to talk about his journey in ministry—from an eager young preacher to a seasoned pastor who has mentored over 20 pastoral interns and remained in one pulpit for over 25 years.Danny shares his first-ever sermon experience, his training at Westminster Seminary California, and the hard-won wisdom that came from being torn apart in homiletics class by Edmund Clowney,—only to be built back up by a compassionate mentor. He reflects on how becoming a father shaped his approach to pastoring, how relational ministry is just as important as doctrinal fidelity, and why internships are crucial for developing pastors who truly love preaching and love people.Other key topics include:The Cage-Stage Calvinist Years – What he's learned since his early years of ministry.The Role of Internships – How he mentors young men for the challenges of pastoral ministry.Why Long-Term Ministry Matters – The stability and intergenerational impact of staying in one congregation.Simplicity and Clarity in Preaching – Why he's working harder than ever to communicate with brevity and focus.Two Loves Every Pastor Needs – Why loving preaching isn't enough—you must also love your people.Drawing from his Ph.D. research on John Owen, his pastoral ministry, and his experience training future pastors, Danny offers wisdom for both young preachers and seasoned ministers alike. Bio - Rev.

Is being radical the point of Christianity? In this week's episode of The Missions Podcast, we dig into the archives for a conversation with Dr. Michael Horton as he talks about his book, "Ordinary: Sustainable Faith in a Radical, Restless World". Together they talk about how the modern rhetoric and mindset of needing to be radical and world-changers leads those in ministry to burnout, a performance mindset, and a works-based salvation. Michael reminds us that it is God's kingdom he is building, and that our ordinary actions and involvement in his mission are what we are called to be a part of. Dr. Michael Horton is J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster Seminary California and the president of Sola Media, formerly White Horse Media. Core Christianity, a ministry of Sola Media, produces Christian content and Michael hosts a radio show called Core Radio. He is an author of several books, including "Ordinary: Sustainable Faith in a Radical, Restless World". Believe in our mission? Support the show at missionspodcast.com/support.
