Reformed Podmatics Welcome to the Reformed Podmatics page! We are Pastor Mark VanDyke and Pastor Zac Dewey of Almond Valley CRC in Ripon, CA.

Our podcast exists to promote the vibrant, biblical, and historical face of Reformed theology in our context and beyond. Each week we explore a different topic relating to theology and the Christian life from our perspective as Reformed pastors in the CRCNA. We aim to create a space for Christians to think through and explore important matters from a perspective that is thoroughly biblical, Reform

ed, and grounded in historic Christianity. This is particularly necessary in our current cultural landscape where polarization and reactionary extremes have sadly become all too common. So whether you're listening on your commute or while doing the dishes, we hope that this podcast is just one more way to redeem your time and grow in your love for Christ, His Word, and His world.

In the words of Porky Pig, "Th-th...that's all, folks!" After nearly 6 years, Reformed Podmatics finally comes to an end. It's been a wonderful run and we have so much to be thankful for.

The heartbeat of the church's mission is to worship God and to invite others to join the chorus through the gospel of Jesus Christ. Part and parcel of this endeavor, then, is church planting, the multiplication of new churches that will, in due time, become established, organized, and worshiping con...

One of the perennial conundrums many Christians face is regarding the assurance of their salvation. In the Reformed tradition, it regularly comes up in the form of questions about God's providence and election; How can I be sure that God chose me? It’s a tricky doctrine, but an important one for t...

In last week's episode we covered the Reformation principle of sola Scriptura, and so in this week's installment we thought it would be good to cover the complementary principle known as tota Scriptura, which is the conviction that the whole of Scripture is inspired, good, and profitable for the Chr...

One of the perennial points of discussion between Roman Catholics and Protestants is the role and authority of Scripture and tradition in the Christian life, and for good reason. Many Roman Catholic apologists today will argue that sola Scriptura is untenable because it was the Church that created t...

With Holy Week upon us, we thought it would be wonderful to take a few moments reflecting on the Reformed view of Communion and how it compares to the views of Roman Catholicism, Lutheranism, and modern Evangelicalism. As you celebrate the Eucharist this week, we hope this episode is a helpful way o...

One of the most important questions each local congregation can ask itself is, Do we have a healthy culture of greeting and hospitality that will remove barriers and foster fellowship with newcomers and new members? In this week's episode, we dive into how having a good theology of greeting ought to...

A long time has passed since our first episode on AI back in November of 2023, so we thought it would be good to revisit this topic. But rather than covering the topic from a general perspective, this time around we focus specifically on two new angles: how AI has disintegrated our ability to trust....

As an extension of our Neo-Calvinist roots, one of the great the convictions of the Christian Reformed tradition globally is its commitment to the importance of Christ-centered education, and how such education brings transformation and renewal to its local communities. In this week's episode we had...

One of the perennial discussions in the Reformed tradition is over the frequency with which we ought to observe and partake in the Lord's Supper together. In the history of the CRC, it was common to partake quarterly and on Good Friday. But the growing trend today in the Reformed and Presbyterian ch...
