Zachary Garris Defrocked By The Presbyterian Church...For Believing The Bible | Ezekiel 34:1-7

About this episode

The episode discusses the indefinite suspension of Zachary Garris by the Rio Grande Presbytery and the implications for modern church leadership.

This episode of the Right Response Ministries Podcast opens with Ezekiel 34:1–7 and applies its warning to modern church leadership, focusing on the Rio Grande Presbytery (PCA) indefinitely suspending teaching elder Zachary Garris. The hosts discuss two charges: an accusation tied to his liking a tweet about slavery (dismissed) and a charge of “corrupt speech” based solely on two X replies to Dr. Anthony Bradley, which they argue were benign. They contend the presbytery is using the disciplinary process as punishment, especially in light of Garris’s writings (Masculine Christianity, Honor Thy Fathers, and Dabney on Fire) promoting patriarchal, anti-feminist themes and defending Christian forefathers. They argue such actions reveal broader denominational corruption, compare current church leaders unfavorably to Reformers’ rhetoric, and conclude by urging pastors and church planters to avoid joining denominations in the present climate. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com…
