Welcome to The Sword and the Trial, a podcast of Founders Ministries.

Founders Ministries exists for the recovery of the gospel and the Reformation of Churches.

I'm Jared Longshore.

And I'm Tom Askell.

Thanks so much for listening to The Sword and the Trial today.

Grateful to have you with us here.

A big thanks to our Founders Alliance members.

Thank you for your encouragement, prayer, support. We hope that you're greatly encouraged by the resources that come to you as being a part

of the fam. If you're not a part of the fam and you're interested in joining, go to Founders.org,

you can get more information there. We are very excited by the Institute of Public Theology. It will

have classes in the fall and we're working diligently, really week in, week out at this point

to make sure all the plans are in place.

Very soon, the application process will be open.

And so go to institute of public theology.org to get more information about that institute.

We are grateful to have Dr. Joe Boot with us on this particular podcast.

He is no stranger to public theology.

Reverend Dr. Joseph Boot is a Christian thinker, cultural apologist philosopher, founder of the Ezra Institute for Contemporary Christianity,

and founding pastor of Westminster Chapel, Toronto. Proud to call Canada home, Joseph is originally

from Great Britain and has worked in the fields of Christian apologetics,

worldview education, and church leadership for over 20 years on both sides of the Atlantic.

He has spoken and guest lectured globally at numerous university student events, seminaries, churches,

colleges, and conferences.
