This Is Gonna Hurt - The Podcast Of J. Gordon Duncan

In this Free Friday Episode of the “This is Gonna Hurt” podcast, we talk about how Gordon had to replace his sump pump backup and how it reminded him to take a day off from working out to assess how he is doing. If you have a regularly scheduled exercise regimen, it is important to take a day to assess health. This is also important for mental and spiritual well-being. Thanks for listening.

While at the Presbyterian Church of America’s (PCA) General Assembly, it was my privilege to interview Dr. Ligon Duncan. If you don’t know who he is, Dr. Duncan is the Chancellor/CEO of Reformed Theological Seminary and the John E. Richards Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology. During our conversation, we discussed the #metoo movement, focusing on two areas: how the movement can inform the church and how the church can inform the movement. His insight was helpful, as one might imagine, and his starting point of the conversation was poignant.
