Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform. I get it. It's annoying. Everybody

asks, but I'm going to tell you why. When you give us a positive review, what that does is it

triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds. You and I both know

that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.

We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears. Okay, here we are ten-part series. I'm Pastor Joel Webbin. This is

part nine, and Dr. Wolf has prepped me right before we started recording. We've got an idea, roadmap of what the episode's about. I forget virtually everything that you said, but I remember this. We're talking about persecuting Baptist. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, and why we should do that all the time and bring it back. But we are going to talk about that. We're going to talk about the early American history being a pan-protistant movement. You know, the immediate objection is, yeah, pan-protistant my butt. You guys were, you know, picking on the Baptist. What's up with that? And if we go back to be in a Christian nation, you're going to do it again. I'm Presbyterian, so a little bit different. When you say congregation, you're talking about like a John Owen kind of like,

they're still paid-o, but there's not a presbytery outside of the local church. Yeah, like John Kahn, John, yeah, they were all. A Baptist polity, but a Pato covenantalism. Yeah. Close enough. Yeah. I could get behind that. Yeah. I'm close. Yeah. I've been close for a while now.

Yeah, I think, you know, someday I'll convince you the Presbyterian polity, but, uh, you know.

Honestly, the most convincing thing of the Presbyterian polity is, uh, every time I go online and

read the thoughts of other Baptist ministers. Like, somebody needs to be in charge of these guys.

Yeah, yeah.

Sometimes it can be bad because there's that good old boy system

and a certain mentality that can prevent you from speaking clearly

and truthfully about things.

Right.

Because then you have the heavy hand of a Presbytery and- Well, I was gonna say, you know, like-

Celebrities in a denomination can very, be very kind of informally influential at a

Presbytery level. At the time of this recording, like, honestly, my Baptist polity

in Congregationalism is one of the things that saved me. Yeah, yeah. With a recent

controversy, you know, like, and really putting a strong arm on like, you've got this,

you know, this guy and he needs to be brought up on charges or church disciplined, and

because I'm a Baptist, I was able to say, take a hike.
