With a 30-year career in Washington, D.C. and going on ten years as president of Grove City College, Paul McNulty has had a remarkable career. Recently, Dr. McNulty, a PCA ruling elder, gave the commencement address at Covenant Day School (where Kevin’s kids attend) and then spoke during the Sunday school hour at Christ Covenant Church. This is a “live” recording of Kevin’s conversation with Paul last Sunday. The wide ranging interview covers everything from politics to Christian education to suffering and loss.
