Welcome to the Sword and Trial podcast.

The Sord and Trial is a ministry of founders' ministries, and founders exist for the recovery

of the gospel and the Reformation of Local

Churches. And I'm Tom Askell, and I'm delighted today to introduce you to my good friend,

Scott Callahan. Scott, welcome aboard Founders Ministries and the Institute of Public Theology.

Thank you so much. It's great to be here. Yeah, looking forward to introducing you to folks that listen to the

Sword and Trowell. And then beyond that, we come up on our conference in January to the folks

that will be attending there. Speaking of the conference, it is sold out. We anticipated this

so that if we have any last

support of the conference and pray for that conference as we get ready to welcome Vody Baukum

and Joel Beakey and Bradley Pierce and Paul Washer into Southwest Florida to address the issue

of what is man. We have a pre-conference beforehand on Christian nationalism. Vody and I'll be doing that,

and we do have a few seats available for that. So if you're interested in coming to that

Wednesday night before the Founders Conference for that one-off time with Voting and me,

then you can sign up for that. And if you're signed up for the conference and you haven't signed up for our ministry update dinner, I encourage you to do that.

It's a wonderful meal and it'll be a time you can just hear more about what's going on with

founders and IOPT, some of the plans that we have going forward. We also still have our sale going on

for the bookstore at Founders Press. So you can go to Founders.org, get in the

bookstore, and see that we have what we're calling the holiday sale. Now, I've had some people
