Join us on a riveting journey as we delve into the classic tale of Christian's encounter with Mr. Worldly Wiseman, a story that echoes through the ages with its profound moral and spiritual lessons. As Christian travels alone, he meets Mr. Worldly Wiseman. Their conversation leads Christian to question his path to the Wicket Gate, where he seeks relief from his burdens. Mr. Worldly Wiseman offers an enticing alternative, steering Christian towards the village of Morality and the house of Mr. Legality. The narrative unfolds with Christian's inner turmoil and the heavy burden he carries, both physically and spiritually. Despite Mr. Worldly Wiseman's persuasive arguments, the journey to Mr. Legality's house proves perilous, leaving Christian in fear and regret. Just as despair sets in, Evangelist reappears, guiding Christian back to the true path and reminding him of the dangers of straying from divine counsel. This part is a rich exploration of the timeless struggle between worldly wisdom and spiritual truth, a reminder of the importance of steadfastness in faith and the perils of seeking shortcuts to salvation. As Christian learns, the path to true deliverance is fraught with challenges, yet it is the only way to find genuine peace and redemption.

The much-anticipated follow-up to the first episode of James and Jonathan's book club is here! Today, the guys sit down again with their friend, Jeffrey Stivason, pastor of Grace Reformed Presbyterian Church and a professor at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, for Part 2 of this series. Though written in the 17th century, The Pilgrim's Progress has essential applications that we can glean from reading this classic work. Based on the feedback from listeners, you're as excited about this as we are! “When you think about the Wicket Gate being readiness, when you think about the scroll being assurance, and that whole idea that this is what Christ has done for you. You don't learn those once, and then your Christian life is made easy because of them. Those are things that you say to yourself repeatedly every day of your life, you know. That's the Gospel preaching that you do to yourself every day, that you need or you're not going to last with any sort of vigor or strength.” – Jeffrey Stivason We hope you enjoy this second installment of our book club as James, Jonathan, and Jeff (J3) discuss the Interpreter's House through Hill Difficulty. If you're following along, plan to read Palace Beautiful through the Valley of Despair and Into the Valley of the Shadow of Death for next time.

In our previous reading, Christiana, her four sons, and Mercy set forth upon their journey and entered through the Wicket-Gate. Though Mercy was fearful of being rejected for not having a received a letter from the King as Christiana had, the Keeper assured her of her acceptance. In our present section, the pilgrims continue along the path and, after escaping an assault, come the house of Interpreter, where they are shown many illustrations that will serve to instruct them for the remainder of their travels.

Last week, we began our journey reading through the second part of the Pilgrim's Progress. There we met Christiana, Christian's wife, as she wrestled with the guilt of having mocked Christian's desire to become a pilgrim. After some visions in the night and a visit from Secret, Christiana resolved to set forth for the Celestial City herself taking her four sons with her. Our previous reading then closed with Christiana's dialogue with her neighbor Mrs. Timorous, who tried to persuade her not to become a pilgrim. In our present passage, Christiana sets out on her journey with her four children and her young neighbor Mercy, who fears that she will not be permitted to pass through the Wicket-gate because she received no invitation from the King.
