Greetings from sunny Southwest Florida and welcome to this episode of the Sword and the Trial.

0:06.2

We're glad to have you with us today. The Sword and Trial is a ministry of Founders Ministries.

0:11.5

You can find out all about founders and our commitments to the local church, seeing churches renewed and recovered,

0:16.9

seeing the gospel recovered, churches renewed biblically by going to Founders.org.

0:21.8

And I'm delighted to have with me today, Graham Gunden, who is assistant pastor here at Grace Baptist Church with us in Cape Coral.

So, Graham, thank you very much for joining.

0:30.1

Grateful to be here.

0:32.2

We got some interesting things coming up, some exciting days ahead of us.

0:35.4

We want to make you aware of them. The Militid

0:37.5

and Triumphant Conference, the Doctrine of the Church, is coming up in January, January 20th through

0:42.9

23rd here in Florida. And that's going to be in Fort Myers. We're going to be addressing

0:49.3

concerns that have been paramount to evangelicals over the last 18 months or so. And we've got a wonderful

1:02.0

We've got James Coates. And we have Travis Allen, who's the pastor of Grace Church in Greeley,

and that's by Vody Baakum. Vody's going to be teaching his cultural apologetics. Have you ever read

1:38.6

He said it's going to be a mix of his exegetical apologetics and his Christian worldview and trying to think through where we are today. So I'm going to try to sit in on as many of those lectures as I can. And that happens the few days before the conference. I think it's the weekend before,
