Squirrel Chatter! Tuesday, 17 March 2026

·1 hr 27 min·5 clips

The missed Monday matters. The host opens with an apology for the technical trouble, including the short notice video that still failed because the sound did not work. Then Squirrel Chatter settles back into its usual shape: scripture, theology, history, current events, and whatever else comes up from the Piney Woods. Tuesday, March 17, 2026 gets named plainly, and the St. Patrick's Day greeting slips in without much ceremony. The Shepherds Conference reflections do most of the work here. He talks through choosing between Mike Riccardi on Christ's active obedience and Phil Johnson on hell and the denial of eternal punishment. Johnson's session gets firm praise. Riccardi's remains on the list because friends recommended it, and because the doctrine clearly has his attention. Pastors get a more personal note. Tom Pennington's message on discouragement in ministry is recommended with the tone of someone who knows that weight is real. There is a little humor at lunch, when the host and Pennington laugh over whether ministry discouragement touches him. The joke works because both men know the answer. The MacArthur note is quieter. Dr. MacArthur's absence from the Shepherds Conference sits in the background, especially after the previous year only brought a convalescing video. The episode closes in prayer. The host asks God to bring people home, number them among his children, and save them through Jesus Christ. Then he ends with the daily charge: do what ought to be done, avoid what ought not be done, and spend the day for the glory of the Lord.
