Welcome to The Shorter Podcast: the podcast that demonstrates that the Shorter Catechism is for all and useful for all of life. You’ll find all of the The Shorter episodes right here. We are excited to journey through the Shorter Catechism with you. Please invite a friend to listen along.
In this episode of the podcast, Tommy and Stephen interview Dr. C.N. Willborn, Senior Pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Oak Ridge, TN and Professor of Historical Theology of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. They discuss Questions 34 of the Shorter Catechism concerning the doctrine of adoption.

A. Adoption is an act of God's free grace, whereby we are received into the number, and have a right to all the privileges of, the sons of God.
