Thank you for joining us for this conversation today on the Sword on the Trial.

Today, Pastor Tom and I talk about the story and the history of the Reform Baptist movement,

starting from the particular Baptists in the early 17th century and going all the way even into the 21st century,

21st century in the ways in which the Lord has worked in the Reform Baptist community and also moved and has built different institutions.

It's a fun conversation. I hope it's helpful for you. Take a listen.

Welcome to The Sword and the Trial. The Sword and the Trial is a podcast of founders' ministries

and founders exist for the recovery of the gospel and the reformation of local churches.

I'm Graham Gundin. I'm Tom Askell.

Today's episode is brought to you by Lake Yale Baptist Conference Center, our friends up there in central Florida. Go check them out on their website. It's a great, beautiful location for different retreats and conferences, et cetera. Yeah, I still have that on my bucket list. Oh, yeah? Make it up there. I was there many, many years ago before it became what it is today. and I'm anxious to see.

I've heard so many wonderful things about it.

I'm anxious to go up there. I was there many, many years ago before it became what it is today. And I'm anxious to see, I've heard so many wonderful things about it. I'm anxious to go up there

and check it out myself. Also, I want to mention that we've got coming up on the 23rd of June.

A special pastor's seminar is going to be in northern Kentucky at Christ the King Church,

where Michael Clary is a pastor.

And that's in Fort, what's the name of the town?

Fort Thomas.

Fort Thomas.

Northern Kentucky, Fort Thomas.

It's right across the river, I think, from Cincinnati.

And Michael Clary's been there pastoring for a long time, planted that church and has done

really well.

And he and Michael Foster and myself will be leading this one-day seminar for pastors on training men at a local church. So you can go to founders.org, find more information about it. But if you're in that area, come join us for that day. Today, what we want to talk about is the Baptist story, particularly the particular Baptist. It's a story. And maybe we'll talk a little bit about the general Baptists as well. Um, and we kind of want to talk about the early beginnings and some of the development through the 17th and 18th century as well. It's a, it's a story that's not typically very well known. And people think about Baptist. They think about American Baptist, they think about Southern Baptists, and that's part of the story, certainly.
