Summary

Our dynamic duo brings in Chad Vegas with a plan to dig up some dirt he has on Big Eva without raising any controversy. But who are we kidding? Chad is currently the pastor of Sovereign Grace Church of Bakersfield, CA, and was a pioneer in the Young, Restless, and Reformed (YRR) movement. We’re riveted by his words as Chad tells us what it was like in the early days of the movement. Vegas speaks kindly of the friendships forged during his time in YRR, the support he and his family received from those friends, and the lessons learned. Still, Chad raises some fair concerns about the direction the movement was heading when he left it. What were some factors that contributed to Chad’s exit from the YRR? Why did he move toward a more Reformed theology? Buckle in for a gripping episode, chock full of confessions, book endorsement repentance, statues being taken down from seminary squares, redemption, and much more! We are happy to offer you the opportunity to win a copy of The Creedal Imperative by our very own Carl Trueman. Register!!

1:07.4	here with my straight man, sidekick, stooge, Reverend Todd Pruitt, pastor of, let me get this correct,
1:13.8	Covenant Presbyterian Church in Harrisonburg, Virginia, which is a congregation in the Presbyterian Church in America.
1:14.7	It is.
1:15.1	You know, and I've only known you for about 12 years.
1:18.8	So that's pretty good that you've finally nailed it.
1:20.3	But of course, you were a schismatic Baptist radical when I first met here.
1:24.4	I was.
1:25.1	I was.
1:25.4	I was a non-denominational schismatic.
1:28.5	Yeah, it was only under my good influence. On your tutelage, I became a Presbyterian. Well, you joined the PCA.
1:33.3	That's the wrong kind of Presbyterian, but nevertheless. We'll make a distinction here.
1:37.0	Right. Well, it's great to have you all with us today, and we're going to be interviewing a good friend of ours, a friend and supporter of the program for many
1:45.1	years. He is the pastor of Sovereign Grace Church in Bakersfield, California. And it's important,
1:54.5	I think, to make a caveat that that's not part of any sovereign grace denomination.
1:58.8	If there is one out there, it's not a part of it. Yeah, well,
