A few of these were submitted by Joel Vander Kooi, a deacon at Redeemer OPC in Airdrie, Alberta—thanks, Joel! (He got a cool The Reformed Deacon t-shirt for his suggestions.)Referenced in this episode:Suggested guidelines and questions for a deacon to ask a strangerYou can find all of our episodes at thereformeddeacon.org.
