The Parrhesians
The Greek word is parrhesia" means “forthright truth-telling.” One who speaks with parrhesia doesn’t flatter, manipulate, or use rhetorical tricks. He doesn’t massage or bend the truth, and he doesn’t hedge. He’s confident truth is on his side, and he takes moral responsibility for speaking it. Join Kyle Bennett, Peter Chace and Nate Devlin as they offer bold truth and discuss how to be the church in a world possessed by lies.

Resisting Tyranny
In this special edition of the Parhessian Podcast, Peter, Kyle, and Nate take on the mantle of The Layman as they discuss the recent Presbytery of the Alleghenies meeting held on Saturday, September 21, 2024. Sadly, there are many concerning issues to report.
The POA not only continued its abuse of power, but there is evidence of evangelical dark money flowing into the denomination, sympathy for open borders, erosion of ordinational standards, continued disregard for constitutional fidelity, and more.
In fact, the situation has become so bad, that it appears as though the EPC is now functioning more like a tyranny than a denomination. But in the face of tyranny, we remember the courageous words of John Knox who said, “Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.” And so, we obey God.
