Introduction
Pastor Jim Butler and Pastor Cameron Porter are joined by host Wim Kerkhoff for Batch 8 of Ask FGBC, recorded July 31, 2026. Over eleven questions they cover planting a new church, moving a congregation to full 1689 subscription, choosing and leaving a church, the difference between faith and assurance, God’s love for the non-elect, the power of angels and demons, whether Christians, Jews, and Muslims worship the same God, why a literal six-day creation matters, the imprecatory psalms, instruments in worship, and the offering.
Whether you are new to these questions or have wrestled with them for years, this session offers substantive, pastoral engagement with issues that matter for the life of the church. Watch the full program below, or jump to a question using the timestamps.
