When young Thomas Goodwin and his friends went out to have fun, they decided to go to a funeral. Whether they had nothing else to do or were planning to sneer, the sermon Goodwin heard changed his life forever. Join Trinity, Emma, and Christian as they interview Dr. Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics at Westminster Seminary California, who has written a thesis about Thomas Goodwin.

Have you ever heard of the Canons of Dort? In case you are wondering, they are not cannons fired by a commander named Dort. They are a set of explanations written in the 17th century to answer some protesters. But if you think that a meeting of pastors writing a list of explanations must be boring, be ready to be surprised as you listen to this episode as Trinity, Emma, Christian, and Sean talk to Dr. W. Robert Godfrey, former president of Westminster Seminary California.

If you're interested in finding out more about the Canons of Dort, we are pleased to offer two copies of William Boekestein's book, The Glory of Grace: The Story of the Canons of Dort to our listeners, thanks to the generosity of our friends at Reformation Heritage Books. Register here to win one!
