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

Founders Ministries exist 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.

Very glad to have you with us.

For those of you who are a part of our Founders Alliance membership, a big thank you to you.

Thank you for your support and encouragement. For those of you who are not, do check out the fam. We always have good content going up in the Armory that's available to those who are a part of the Founders Alliance membership. You can find out more details at Founders.org. One of the things you will get access to is our recent conference on the Only God. And it just happened probably a month ago.

It's still up there.

So you can watch the live stream if you do join the fam.

And great resources, great material.

So glad that you're listening to us here at The Sword and the Trial.

Yeah, today we have a really special episode.

We're glad that you've tuned in for this and encourage you to share it, let other people

know about it.

We have a special guest from Alberta, Canada, and Aaron Coates is with us, and some of you will recognize her name.

She is the wife of James Coates, who, as we are talking, is in jail in Alberta because he has preached the gospel of Jesus Christ and refuses to compromise

according to what the magistrates there in Alberta tell him he must do. And if he would just

simply sign the conditions that they've set up, then they'll let him go free. Reminds me, Aaron,

of something that John Bunyan went through when they said, you can be free

if you'll just agree not to preach. He wouldn't do it. But we're so grateful to have you here

and welcome to the sore and the trial. Thanks for joining us today. Thanks for having me.
