Summary

The current political climate has revealed the character of many men in the church. It has shown the courageous and the cowards, the bold and the blind. Fortunately, trials, persecution, and cultural hostility tend to make the dividing lines more clear. That is, we can see clearly who stands with the world and who stands with Christ. But what has also been clarified is how few true, biblical, faithful ministers are out there. We have been made aware of the great need for more mission-minded, Gospel-focused, and Bible-committed men. In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge calls for these type of men in his commencement speech delivered at the 2021 graduation for Reformation Seminary.
