Confessions of a Reformer
In this special rebroadcast, guest host David Puente sits down with Pastor Aldo Leon to reflect on his journey of reformation in life and ministry. Originally shared with Pinelands Presbyterian Church (https://youtu.be/4ZkI0XagH_o), this candid interview traces Aldo's path from Baptist church planting to becoming a Presbyterian teaching elder, and the theological convictions that reshaped both his personal walk and his pastoral leadership.
Highlights from this episode include:
- Aldo's journey from Baptist church planting to Presbyterian convictions
- The role of covenant theology in shaping worship practices
- Wrestling with exclusive psalmody, acapella singing, head coverings, and one-cup communion
- Reflections on pastoral struggles, humility, and learning through resistance
- The tension between rapid reform and congregational adjustment
- Addressing critiques of legalism and "radical" changes in the church
- Honest admissions of regret, naivety, and lessons learned in shepherding through change
This conversation offers both an inside look at pastoral reformation and a challenge for believers to consider what it means to worship and live faithfully under God's Word.
