Dead Presbyterians Society

In this episode of the Dead Presbyterians Society Podcast, Jonathan Master walks through the opening chapter of John Witherspoon’s A Practical Treatise on Regeneration. From John 3:3, Witherspoon presses the necessity of a true new birth; great, universal, inward, and the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. A searching pastoral word for anyone tempted to rest in outward religion rather than a heart made new.

In this episode of the Dead Presbyterians Society Podcast, we explore William B. Sprague’s sermon The Danger of Being Overwise. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 7:16, Sprague warns against the subtle temptation to refine, improve, or go beyond what God has revealed in His Word. True wisdom, he insists, is not found in human innovation or good intentions, but in humble submission to Scripture—believing neither too little nor too much, but exactly what God has spoken.

In this episode of the Dead Presbyterians Society Podcast, we turn to J. W. Alexander’s classic Thoughts on Family Worship. Writing in 1847, Alexander shows that the worship of God begins in the home—through the simple, daily gathering of a household around Scripture and prayer. Faithful family worship quietly shapes parents, forms children who love the Lord, and strengthens the church for generations. A warm, pastoral call to recover this ordinary means of grace.

In this episode we explore the life and ministry of Benjamin Morgan Palmer, a leading 19th-century Southern Presbyterian.

Grounded in Reformed theology and the promises of Romans 11, Palmer combined unwavering commitment to Christ with sincere compassion for the Jewish people. Through his writings, pastoral care in times of epidemic, and public solidarity with suffering Jews, he modeled faithful gospel witness joined with genuine love.

A compelling example of conviction and charity held together in Christian service.
