/In this episode, Rev. Chris Gordon, Rev. Dr. Dan Borvan, and Dr. Jim Cassidy tackle the pressing question: Is Reformed Christianity dying in America? They dive into the challenges of maintaining a confessional Reformed identity in today's American context, where Calvinism is often misunderstood or excluded from common perceptions of Christianity. The discussion explores how America's individualistic spirit and rebellious foundations impact the reception of Reformed theology and practices, which can often be unfamiliar to outsiders. The speakers emphasize that the Reformed church is not dying, highlighting the simple, yet profound, calling of preachers to faithfully administer the sacraments, preach Christ, and open the Word of God. They caution against "creative" innovations that could undermine the Reformed tradition, asserting that the greatest threat to the Reformed church comes from within.
