  • The Trinity and Gender Roles

    The Trinity and Gender Roles
    Jan 13 2025
    Need help? Contact ⁠⁠⁠Outreach Incorporated⁠⁠⁠. Join us as we talk with repeat guest Jeff Moss, a former CREC Minister, who has over a decade of experience "in the system." The Trinity is the bedrock of the Christian faith: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. But what happens when you've entered into a culture war? The perceived "feminization" of the Evangelical church presents to you a problem: how do we fight this? Enter the old heresy of the Father as "authority" and the Son as "submission." The man in the marriage mirrors God the Father's role, while the wife is subjugated to that of the Son. What better to keep women under control than to tell them to "suffer like Jesus." The Trinity then becomes the foundation for gender roles. Let's fix this.

    Reformed is (Not) Enough
    Jan 6 2025
    Find HAVEN of Mercy here: https://www.havenofmercypr.org Find the HAVEN Conference information here: https://www.havenofmercypr.org/haven-2025-conference Find the Livestream on Friday and Saturday here: https://www.facebook.com/havenofmercypr Need help? Contact ⁠⁠⁠Outreach Incorporated⁠⁠⁠. Join Dr. R. Scott Clark and I as we discuss Federal Vision, it's various off-shoots and internecine debates, amber ale and oatmeal stout "versions," engage with clips from Douglas Wilson, Richard Lusk (among other CREC ministers who have blocked us), and look at the original statements and lectures from Auburn Avenue in 2002. This is our most theologically dense episode of the series. It's a beatdown of "Federal Vision," a works-based Christianity. We end by describing how this system of doctrine necessarily leads to abuse and obedience that is "cloaked" in submission. Let's make the gospel scandalous, not scandalized. That which leads to human flourishing, not fear. Find R. Scott Clark here: Westminster Seminary California Heidelblog Heidelcast Donate to help the survivor network ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

  • Let's Get Spiritual: Abuse in the OPC, Part 3

    Let's Get Spiritual: Abuse in the OPC, Part 3
    Jan 2 2025
    Need help? Contact ⁠⁠⁠Outreach Incorporated⁠⁠⁠. Meet Aimee Byrd (a former member of the OPC in the Northeast and prolific author), Ali LeReaux (a former member of the OPC in the Southeast), and Heather Nadreau (a former member of Christ Church Spokane, CREC). Spiritual abuse so often gets short shrift, but it upends everything you think about the gospel, the church, Jesus, and the pastors who are commanded to shepherd your soul. The gospel ceases being a salve in favor for a rod. It ceases building you up, by beating you down. ⁠Aimee Byrd⁠'s books mentioned in the episode: ⁠The Hope in Our Scars⁠ ⁠The Sexual Reformation⁠ ⁠Recovering from Biblical Manhood and Womanhood⁠ ⁠Why Can't We Be Friends?⁠ Donate to help the survivor network ⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    Marketing, or, Why the Ends Justify the Means
    Dec 30 2024
    Need help? Contact ⁠⁠Outreach Incorporated⁠⁠. Join us as we talk with Aimee Byrd, and repeat guests Kristin Kobes du Mez and Nathan & Christiana Wells about the marketing that "bites back." From subversive marketing tactics, to slick production. From rhetorical flair, to retro design. Canon Press, Canon Plus, New Saint Andrews, and Christ Church are the bad boys on the block. The bad boys who know how to market, because the "good" boys are scared of it. But these bad boys created a beast they no longer control. Let's get under the hood.

    Need help? Contact ⁠Outreach Incorporated⁠. Join us as we talk with Jeff Moss, a former CREC Minister, who has over a decade of experience "in the system." We do a deep dive into all things CREC: structure, polity, ordination, founding, everything. What may seem boring is actually a necessary look "under the hood." If you know the structure of the system, you understand how the system works the way it does. We compare it to other systems of church government, helping you make sense of your own church and the way they work. Donate to help the survivor network ⁠here⁠.
