Seeing Past Secular Humanist Tactics in Rhetoric
Despre acest podcast
Training Our Minds ”to think God’s thoughts after Him” began as a small Sunday school class going through the Heidelberg Catechism at Seventh Reformed Church. Once the class finished, Ben began the Worldviews Evangelism Counseling (WEC) class to help equip members to engage with the culture and share their faith with those who embrace different worldviews. Both classes are being made available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Ben Bessett, Director of Outreach and Pastoral Care since May 2021, has also worked as a jail and hospital chaplain and a graduate of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary.
