Heidelcast Live! Why Do Confessional Churches Grow So Slowly?

In this episode Brad Isbell and Dr Clark interact with some observations from Heidelcast listener Jonathan, who was responding to a recent Heidelminicast on the topic of slow growth among confessional Reformed churches. His observations lead to a wide-ranging and lively discussion of Reformed church life, worship and more. The hosts also answer a question from Daniel about why Dr Clark has spoken about God the Son as the Lord God identified in Genesis 3:8.
