Presbycast is the podcast of Chortles Weakly and Wresbyterian. We're Presbyterian, and we take lots of umbrage. Decently and in order, of course.
Welcome to Restless. This is a postmortem on everything Young, Restless and Reformed, sometimes called New Calvinism. In 2009 New Calvinism made Time Magazine's list of “10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now.” 11 years later Matt and Michael investigate and discuss the rise and fall of New Calvinism.
