In this podcast, Dr Clark sits down to talk with Chad Vegas, pastor of Sovereign Grace Bakersfield and Chris Gordon, pastor of the Escondido United Reformed Church to talk about why the Reformed churches seem weird, about making the journey to the Reformed church, and why we sometimes are a little weird.

One of the essays the fellows discuss is this essay by Dr Clark. See the resources on Discovering the Reformed Confession (below).
