Sinclair Ferguson Interview

Welcome back all effectualgrace readers. I have missed you.

Due to technical issues with the server (other than for a few hours last Friday) this entire blog site has been down for the last 5 days. Hopefully things are more stable now. Perhaps we should look at it as the equivalent of a summer vacation, at least for those of us in the northern hemisphere.

I can think of few things better as a first post after this prolonged absence than an interview with Dr. Sinclair Ferguson. Senior Minister at First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, a professor of Systematic theology, a Ligonier Ministries teaching fellow, as well as a prolific author whose books include By Grace Alone and In Christ Alone, Dr. Ferguson has an extensive ministry in the Body of Christ. I always enjoy hearing his strong Scottish accent as well as his profound insights into the Scriptures.

The following interview lasts just under 40 minutes. In the first 17 minutes, Dr. Ferguson recalls some of the details of his conversion and call to Christian ministry and then continues with some sound advice for those considering pastoral ministry.

Again, welcome back. Enjoy!

Twelve What Abouts – Interview

It was a great pleasure to meet the hosts of “Backpack Radio” as they conducted a one hour radio interview of me regarding my new book.

The hosts were extremely gracious (as well as cool) and allowed me to really address some very important issues. The time flew by.

Although the show aired in the Phoenix area on Sunday evening, you can now hear the program online at this link.

James & John

VIDEO INTERVIEW
Dr. James White and I (lurking somewhere behind the microphone stands) had a great time yesterday discussing my new eBook and Reformed Theology on James’ “Radio Free Geneva” Dividing Line Broadcast. Here’s the youtube video of the interview segment.

FULL LENGTH AUDIO
Dr. James White writes: Today on a Mega Radio Free Geneva: John Samson and Emir Caner

“I bet John never expected to see himself mentioned quite like that before. But, Twelve What Abouts, which you can find here. We then went back to reviewing Emir Caner’s sermon against Reformed theology, and then took calls on the topic for the last half hour.” Here’s the full 2 hour program.
