405. Terry Carnes and the PCA’s Confessional Resurgence

<p>Ryan Biese and Ken Wojnarowski interview PCA ruling elder Terry Carnes about his conversion from nominal Christianity, his former missionary and pastoral ministry, and his present service in the church courts. Carnes explains why increased ruling-elder participation has helped draw the PCA back toward confessional accountability. The conversation centers on his General Assembly speech opposing images of Christ as contrary to the Second Commandment, insisting that Christ’s glory and truth cannot be captured by man-made depictions. The guests also discuss subscription, legitimate exceptions, family-integrated worship, children’s capacity to receive preaching, and the proper balance among grassroots government, liberty of conscience, and ecclesiastical accountability.</p>
