A Palestinian Christian’s Plea to the Reformed Church
I am a Semitic Palestinian Christian. I was born under difficult Israeli occupation, baptized in a church that stood centuries before the Reformation, and raised in the land where Christ walked. My worship is in Arabic. My theology is anchored in the early Church. And my grief is profound. What happens when the land... Continue Reading
Henry A. Boardman, August Pastor and Churchman
Dr. Boardman’s forty-three years of pastoral service is the longest call served of all the ministers at Tenth Presbyterian Church.
Boardman was involved in both Philadelphia’s Institute for the Deaf and Dumb as well as its orphanage. He was honored with the Doctor of Divinity by Marshall College, Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1844. He was active at all levels of the church courts and it is common to read presbytery, synod, and assembly minutes which include... Continue Reading
An Answer to the Critics of Jesus Calling
Since Sarah passed away in 2023, it falls to us, her family, to bring clarity to another wave of misinformed criticism that has now infiltrated the PCA that Sarah loved and served for decades.
God has used Sarah’s simple testimony to save and encourage thousands of suffering people, which should be a cause for celebration. Instead, the PCA will choose to distance itself from Jesus Calling through the reports of the upcoming General Assembly. While this is hard for her family, we rest in the knowledge that God is...

Morton H. Smith, Concerned Presbyterian Churchman
His vision for training pastors focused on using curriculum centered around the infallible Word and its interpretation governed by full adherence to the summary of essential doctrine found in the Westminster Standards.
Morton Smith was the first faculty member at the newly founded Reformed Theological Institute and in later years he would become the chairman of the department of systematic theology. However, just as biblical-confessional theological education required a new seminary, concerned Presbyterians would come to realize the need for a new denomination. The above photograph...

Unmasking Abusive Spiritual Leadership Part III: Divisions and Flattery
Is there a common appetite among spiritually abusive leaders?
Be warned. The apostle Paul says, “by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.” Expert manipulators will beguile those who are not wise to such things. Christian leaders are not immune. Headline cases of spiritual abuse in the church often involve the deception of numerous elders and pastors, deceived and ultimately... Continue Reading
Protecting The Shepherd, Abandoning The Flock
Columbus Metro Presbytery’s mishandling of New City Presbyterian Church
The dissolution of New City Presbyterian Church was not an isolated mishap, it was the result of systemic failure within the PCA, facilitated by a culture that prioritizes institutional self-protection over shepherding the vulnerable. The Book of Church Order (BCO) and the Presbyterian model of governance are, on paper, structured to guard against abuse and... Continue Reading
A Response to “Concerning the Resignation of Dr. Chapell”
Does it not seem like blame-shifting to call those who spread what was public the actual scandalizers?
My sense is that Dr. Coffin’s comments have not properly represented the nature of the fallout from the podcast. To imply that the situation was stirred up by some bad actors, when, in fact, it was actually an unfortunate mistake that resulted in an unnecessary controversy within the PCA and beyond. With all due respect... Continue Reading
My Dad, a ‘Good’ Death, and the Unforgivable Covid Era
Passing to the other side surrounded by those he loved had to have been comforting both for us and for my father. Not every death can be like that, obviously, but when they can it should be encouraged, not hindered.
There is something weirdly serene and almost holy about experiencing the death of someone you love dearly this intensely and this close. I don’t know any other way to describe it, but it changed me in ways I’m only beginning to fathom. The mind wanders during such ordeals, especially in the quiet moments before and... Continue Reading
Pageant Winner Refuses Miss America Contract for Redefining “Female”
The Miss North Florida 2025 pageant winner has been stripped of her title after refusing to sign a Miss America contract that falsely defines “female” to include castrated males.
The contract requires female beauty candidates to agree to compete against biological males – who have been subjected to medical mutilation as minor boys – and agree that these mutilated males are “female.” When presented with the contract, Bush requested removal of the contract’s definitional language to keep from violating her religious beliefs and over...
