Welcome to Doctrine and Devotion, a podcast that explores Christian faith and practice

from a reformed Baptist perspective.

My name is Joe Thorne.

I'm the lead pastor of Redeemer Fellowship in St. Charles, Illinois, and today we are

excited to have, back on the podcast, Pastor the right Reverend Nicholas Batzig, a good

friend of ours, whom we love, we've done conferences together, we've hung out together,

enjoyed all kinds of good gifts together, and anytime we can get them on the pod, whether

it's talking about John Knox or something like Long Gospel, we love to bring them on.

If you don't know Nick, Nick is the pastor of, I miss over the Church Creek Presbyterian.

Church Creek Presbyterian, and I even ask him to tell me again so I don't mess, I wrote

it down, I still wanted to mess it up.

Church Creek Presbyterian, he is an associate editor at Legionnaire, our favorite publication

that we like to read, and so we want to encourage you guys to check him out there.

Nick, thanks for coming on, man.

Thanks for having me back.

So what is it?

We're recording on a Wednesday, and so it's midweek, how are you feeling midweek as a pastor?

Yeah, yeah, I'm doing pretty good.

We actually have this weekend off, we're going to do a family farm, so we're going to

go dove hunting on Saturday, and then have this Wednesday off.

So it's always nice to get a little break from preaching.

Wait, you're going dove hunting.
