If you do so and she stays relevant and grows in influence then what course of action should we take?Then ignore her. She will become irrelevant.

Error should always be criticized and spoken out against, even if it for now accomplishes nothing. To remain silent regarding error because we think speaking out does nothing is cowardly and apathetic pragmatism.Ive criticized the PCA. It was not my place. What does my criticism do for the PCA ?
lolThen ignore her. She will become irrelevant.
In the OPC or outside of it? What should they say?I'm not saying that we should not combat error in our churches, but there is just something...not right... about a guy who has not even been ordained a year attacking both the PCA and the OPC from his tiny church in South Dakota in a 48 minute(!) video. Self-importance much?
It may be that "Self Important" Pastors from "tiny churches" would fell less inclind to speak up in this manner if more established Pastors in large churches spoke up instead.
You're taking an anti-catholic approach. You really do not care about what happens outside of your denomination?In the OPC or outside of it? What should they say?

I would first have to be provided examples of her growth and impact on the OPC. I believe this has diminished, not increased.If you do so and she stays relevant and grows in influence then what course of action should we take?
If she's a threat to other denominations then maybe there is shaky ground to begin with.
Thats my point. Her influence is becoming redundant. She will appeal to the Beth Moore crowd. Im sad if she goes that route but I dont see the threat.
Who is championing her?There clearly is shaky ground. The problem is that such a woman has arisen within the bounds of an ostensibly conservative, Reformed denomination and has been championed by men who claim, and are seen as, conservative and Reformed. And when people- from within her own denomination, no less- criticise her they are accused of being misogynistic, "triggered" and are silenced.
Been there and done that. My concern probably came with an air of superiority that was very off-putting. But in all honesty, what can my opinion or concern do for, say, the PCA?You're taking an anti-catholic approach. You really do not care about what happens outside of your denomination?
Come to our presbytery meeting in October.Who is championing her?
Excellent point. She says repeatedly that she's 'still learning'. That would be a good disclaimer along with Im 'still maturing' for some over zealous young pastors.Who is Aimee Byrd to publish five books, appear on podcasts, set up her own website, pontificate on twitter? What are her qualifications?
Who is championing her?
This is a little much. She has no authority to teach according to scripture. And if the "zealous young pastor" is in an orthodox church then he was appointed by elders who saw him as qualified. One of those qualifications is "not a novice".Excellent point. She says repeatedly that she's 'still learning'. That would be a good disclaimer along with Im 'still maturing' for some over zealous young pastors.
When a pastor acts as if God directly speaks to them, Im out...
