Welcome to Standing Firm, the podcast of Holy Trinity Reformed Church where we dedicate ourselves to "Standing Firm for the Ancient Faith and against the Ancient Foe until Christ is All in All." We believe that the foundations of America are being eroded due to the neglect of the Church's call to Biblical liturgy, community, and mission. Sadly, instead of steadfastly following the apostles' doctrine, fellowship, and worship, many have sought after worldly prestige, prosperity, and popularity, thus retreating from the battlefield.
But we are not giving up the fight. Standing Firm is our earnest effort to contend for the faith as revealed through the Holy Scriptures and explained in the historical church creeds and reformed confessions. We are here to fulfill Paul's command in 1 Corinthians 16:13 to be on guard, stand firm in the faith, be courageous, and be strong.
Join us on this journey of faith as we navigate the challenges of modern times and strive to preserve the ancient truths of Christianity. Tune in to our podcast to learn, grow, and be inspired in your walk with Christ.

Title: The Purpose of Standing Firm
Date: September 1, 2022
In this episode of Standing Firm, Pastor James Brown Jr discusses the reasons and purposes of this podcast as a ministry of Holy Trinity Reformed Church. The reasons are biblical and simple but controversial, and yet, the controversy is against God. When you live in an age of apostasy, even the basic tenets of Christianity are refuted. Regardless, our goal is not to be controversial or rowdy, but faithful in preaching the Word to call sinners to repentance and the saints to submission.

Title: The Essence of Hypocrisy
Date: August 5, 2022
In this episode, Pastor James Brown Jr discusses the essence of hypocrisy. The American Church—Catholic and Protestant, Arminian and Reformed, libertine and legalist—is plagued by hypocrisy. We are the very same hypocrites Jesus confronted in His earthly ministry. Unless we repent and turn back to God in sincerity and truth our hypocritical self-righteousness will be our ruiin. The wrath of God is being poured out upon us and the glory of the Lord has departed from us. We are Ichabod. Repent or perish!
