Ten Minute Catechism with J.A. Brown

Dr. James Alden Brown

This is a place where theology meets everyday life. Whether we're talking about family, engaging culture, or just trying to live faithfully in a complicated world, we look at it all through the lens of God's word and His sovereign grace. This show aims to help you think biblically about love, truth, and walking humbly with God. No fluff - just rich, practical reflections on what it means to live coram Deo - in the presence of God, under the authority of God, to the glory of God. Rev. J.A. Brown is an ordained minister in the Reformed Presbyterian tradition
