Pastor Nick Batzig joins Jimmy and Joe to talk about the departure of Protestants to the Roman Catholic faith. Why do some leave baptist, Presbyterian, and other churches for the Greek Orthodox or Roman Catholic Church? Does it even matter? Trigger Warning: This is a decidedly protestant podcast and episode. Who is Nick Batzig? Nick is the Organizing Pastor of New Covenant Presbyterian Church in Richmond Hill, GA. He has written numerous articles for Tabletalk Magazine, Modern Reformation, Reformation 21 and The Christward Collective. Nick is published in Jonathan Edwards and Scotland (Dunedin, 2011) and Jonathan Edwards for the Church (Evangelical Press). Nick is the editor of the Christward Collective and Reformation21, sites of the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, and the host of East of Eden, a podcast devoted to the Biblical and Systematic Theology of Jonathan Edwards.

This left Jimmy sounding a bit rough. We will have this remedied quickly.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Joe and Jimmy argue about nothing important and then get around to talking about John Flavel's classic, Keeping the Heart. In this work Flavel digs into Proverbs 4:23, “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” What does it mean to “keep the heart?” How do we do it? What is the benefit of it? Plus, more arguing and a quick look in the mailbag.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/doctrine-and-devotion/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
