New Geneva Academy Shepherds Conference 2022: 5. Simplicity in Worship | Pastor Andrew Dionne
Audio from our 2022 Shepherds Conference: Old Paths. Session 5, "Simplicity in Worship," by Pastor Andrew Dionne. "Imagine walking into a Roman Catholic Cathedral in 1555. Let’s say you attended mass in the Notre Dame in Paris that year. Before you walk through the doors you are awed by the amazing intricacy of the architecture—flying buttresses, stained glass, gargoyles. You walk through the tall front doors and gaze at the amazingly tall ceilings, ornate stone carvings of men and angels, crucifixes, and various Biblical scenes depicted in stained glass. All of this is a feast for the eyes. You go further into the space and there are the stations of the cross, statues of saints, candles, and relics to be venerated. You see the priests wearing their luxurious outer garments—the chasubles—covered in embroidery, along with their stoles, which announce their sacerdotal status. Then— after all of that—you observe the Liturgy of the High Mass... Andrew Dionne began his pastorate at Trinity Presbyterian Church in August 2011. He was ordained in the PCA’s Great Lakes Presbytery in Nov. 2004. From 2004 to 2011, Andrew served as a pastor at Christ the Word Church in Toledo, OH. Andrew received his M.Div. in 2004 after earning a doctorate in music composition from Indiana University. He currently serves as president of New Geneva Academy. He and his wife, Sarah, have been married for twenty-three years and have six children.

New Geneva Academy Shepherds Conference 2022: 4. Caring for Souls | Pastor Josh Knipp
Audio from our 2022 Shepherds Conference: Old Paths. Session 4, "Caring for Souls," by Pastor Josh Knipp. The care of souls is a pastor’s responsibility. He must look after each of his sheep. Long before modern psychology, men and women found love, counsel, and life-giving reproof in the Church for this reason. Pastor Josh Knipp will exhort us to return to historic pastoral care, caring for the souls in our congregation with skill and humility, one by one, at the point of their most serious sins and weaknesses. Josh Knipp has been the senior pastor of Bloomington Bible Church since 2011. In addition to his work as a pastor, Josh has worked as a professional counselor. He is married to his lovely wife Rachel, and they have four children.

New Geneva Academy Shepherds Conference 2022: 3. Learning from Calvin (Part 2) | Dr. Richard C. Gamble
Audio from our 2022 Shepherds Conference: Old Paths. Session 3, "Learning from Calvin," (Part 2) by Dr. Richard C. Gamble. Part 2: Calvin's View of the Church in the New Testament + Q&A John Calvin worked ceaselessly to recover old paths of sound doctrine and faithful pastoral care, implementing them in his 16th-century context. As he mined Scripture and church history for wisdom, his life and ministry became a template that has never lost its relevance for the Church. Dr. Richard Gamble taught us about John Calvin’s understanding of the Church in the Old and New Testaments, how that shaped his life and ministry in Geneva, and how it can shape us as pastors today. Richard Gamble has served as Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Pittsburgh since 2005. He has served as a pastor and church planter for a number of churches and is currently a minister in the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America. He is a past president of the Calvin Studies Society and has written and edited a tremendous number of books and articles on Calvin, as well as authoring the multi-volume systematic theology The Whole Counsel of God.

New Geneva Academy Shepherds Conference 2022: 1. Training Our Men | Pastor Stephen Baker
Audio from our 2022 Shepherds Conference: Old Paths. Session 1, "Training Our Men," by Pastor Stephen Baker. Pastors have trained pastors ever since the Apostle Paul trained Timothy, but in modern times the Church has outsourced much of this work to academic institutions loosely connected to the church. We need to recover older methods. Pastor Stephen Baker makes the case for a more personal and Church-centered approach to pastoral training from Scripture and history as he shows the damaging effects of a purely academic approach. Stephen Baker has served as the dean and lead instructor of New Geneva Academy since 2005. He has been an associate pastor of Trinity Reformed Church since 2003. Stephen is married to Sebra, and they have six sons and a gaggle of grandchildren.

New Geneva Academy Shepherds Conference 2021: 5. Soldiers Suffer | Pastor Tim Bayly
Audio from our 2021 Shepherds Conference: The Good Soldier. Session 5, "Soldiers Suffer," by Pastor Tim Bayly. Our ministry as pastors and elders is to join our Lord in His suffering for the sake of His bride. This suffering for love of the Church takes many forms, but any faithful soldier will find it unavoidable. The pastor who avoids suffering simply cannot be faithful to his calling. How can pastors prepare their hearts for the pain and trouble that God will send their way in the course of ministry? Is love the answer? ​2 Tim. 2:3 Suffer hardship with me... ★ Support this podcast ★

New Geneva Academy Shepherds Conference 2021: 4. Soldiers Fight | Elder Brian Bailey
Audio from our 2021 Shepherds Conference: The Good Soldier. Session 4, "Soldiers Fight," by Elder Brian Bailey. Ministry is warfare. Warfare means fighting. There’s no ministry without conflict. Yet many church officers who engage in battle every day in their occupations outside the church are consciously or subconsciously opposed to conflict within the church. Why? In what condition will this tactical error leave the church and her sheep? Why are we scandalized by conflict among the sinners who make up each congregation? 2 Tim. 2:3-4 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier.  ★ Support this podcast ★

New Geneva Academy Shepherds Conference 2021: 3. Soldiers Work | Pastor Andrew Dionne
Audio from our 2021 Shepherds Conference: The Good Soldier. Session 3, "Soldiers Work," by Pastor Andrew Dionne. Ministry is hard work—you don’t get to live as an ordinary civilian. The Lord enlisted you and now you are on duty serving as His soldier. This is more than the work of preaching—it’s the work of constantly shepherding, counseling, rebuking, and praying for God’s people. This work never stops coming. How do pastors remain faithful when they come to the limits of their own strength? How do pastors give to their wives and children when the people of God have left them exhausted? 2 Tim 2:4-7 No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. 5 Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules. 6 The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. 7 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.  ★ Support this podcast ★

New Geneva Academy Shepherds Conference 2021: 2. Soldiers Must Be Trained | Pastor Stephen Baker
Audio from our 2021 Shepherds Conference: The Good Soldier. Session 2, "Soldiers Must Be Trained," by Pastor Stephen Baker. No military officer sends his soldiers into battle without first putting them through bootcamp. The Church needs pastors for the warfare of ministry, but those pastors need training. More is at stake in ministry than in warfare—the casualties are eternal souls—so the Church’s training of her shepherd had better exceed the rigor of the training of the armed forces. How should the Church take responsibility for the men who will shepherd Her? What role should the Church play in training them? 2 Tim. 2:2 The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. ★ Support this podcast ★

New Geneva Academy Shepherds Conference 2021: 1. The Pastor is a Soldier | Pastor Tim Bayly
Audio from our 2021 Shepherds Conference: The Good Soldier. Session 1, "The Pastor is a Soldier," by Pastor Tim Bayly. Ministry is warfare. Pastors are soldiers enlisted by the Lord: "Suffer hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus." Men who fight, command, and lead aren’t popular today, but the pastor isn’t working for popularity with women and men. He only has eyes for God. So he humbles himself to fight, but it’s hard not to pick the wrong battles with the wrong enemies at the wrong times. Fighting takes the sort of wisdom that develops with time. Through an exposition of 2 Timothy 2:1-7, Pastor Bayly lays the groundwork for understanding ministry as warfare. ★ Support this podcast ★
