Hello,

welcome to Theology podcast, and we've got a special treat today.

We've got another guest, and we've got a number of them here lately,

and we're really pleased to have them,

but let me introduce myself first.

I'm CRY. They have a pastor, server church. We're really pleased to have them, but let me introduce myself first.

I'm CRY.

They have a pastor, I serve a church in the Pacific Northwest.

And I've written a number of things, and I'm a senior editor

for Touchstone magazine, Tom.

Tom Price, I teach systematic theology, theological ethics, and some philosophy.

One of the places of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.

Our friend, Glen Sunshine, is not with us right now, but we do have somebody to sit in his chair and that's Ben Merkel.

Ben, why don't you introduce yourself? I know a lot about you, but probably not the things that I would say are necessarily all the things that you want to have said or whatever.

But just fill this in.

Yeah, so I'm Ben Merkel. I'm the president of New St Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho.

I've been president now, I think, nine years, but been teaching there for a long time. I'm a senior fellow there as well, and taught some classical languages and theology. I'm also a minister at Christchurch.

I preach at our downtown service in Moscow.

Married, my wife, Becca, and I have five kids who are now spreading throughout the world.

I got to see my son and his wife here.

He's been up at St Andrews.

They came down to spend some time with us and now have two grandchildren.
