Dead Presbyterians Society

This podcast is built on a very simple conviction: in order to be faithful in the present, we must be rooted in the past. The old paths of Presbyterianism in the 18th and 19th century have much to teach us about the path we walk today.In weekly 30 minute episodes, we will reflect on the lives and works of figures such as Archibald Alexander, B.M. Palmer, and Charles Hodge. We will consider enduring themes–prayer, Christian experience, and the church–matters of eternal significance for the people of God until Christ returns.

  The Danger of Being Overwise: William B. Sprague on Christian Wisdom and Humility

  Aug 18, 202623 minS3

  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.

  Thoughts on Family Worship: J.W. Alexander on the Importance of Worship in the Home

  Aug 4, 202626 min

  In this episode of the Dead Presbyterians 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.

  The Dominion of Providence over the Passions of Men: John Witherspoon on the Story of American Independence

  In this episode we explore John Witherspoon’s famous sermon, The Dominion of Providence Over the Passions of Men . Preached in 1776 amid the growing struggle for American independence, Witherspoon reflects on God's sovereign rule over human affairs, showing how even conflict, suffering, and the ambitions of men ultimately serve His purposes. Along the way, he calls Christians to trust God's providence, pursue personal holiness, and labor faithfully for the good of church and nation.
