Summary

Iceman and Maverick (aka J.V. Fesko and Craig Carter) are feeling the need…the need for creeds. Though neither will claim the title of “top gun,” both will speak of the necessity of creeds in the life of the Church as they headline the 2022 Prince George’s Conference on Reformed Theology in September. In addition, Iceman—uh, Fesko—has penned an exceptional book on the subject, which provides the foundation for today’s conversation. Carl and Todd (the Orville and Wilbur Wright of podcasting) engage their “dangerous” guests in a discussion of the biblical and historical case for the creeds and confessions, showing why they are essential for Christian faith and practice today. Congratulation to our winners of copies of JV Fesko’s book—The Need for Creeds Today: Confessional Faith in a Faithless Age: *Wayne S. from Gardendale, AL *Michael M. from Spartanburg, SC Show Notes The 2022 Prince George’s Conference on Reformed Theology

1:19.3	Are you in your usual annual deep depression?
1:21.9	No, I am, I am abulient with joy and encouragement. It was a good week for confessionalists for the second
1:32.8	year in a row at the PCA General Assembly. So I'm encouraged. We'll see if anything sticks,
1:39.5	but it was good. It was a long week. I served on overtures committee. We did about 21 hours of work in
1:46.9	in about two days. But it was good. It was worth the efforts. This is going to sound
1:55.2	terribly small mind of me, but I missed the days when I used to be able to give you fake sympathy over how badly things had gone.
2:02.9	Inside, I was, you know, I thank you, Lord, that the O.P. Sure, not like other men.
2:07.6	Well, we're working hard. All it takes is to be willing to be seen as a, you know, knuckle-dragging troglodyte.
2:16.1	And if you're willing to take on that persona in your denomination, then it can be okay.
