Sarah Young is perhaps the bestselling author in the history of the Presbyterian Church in America. However, in a series of major wins for Presbyterians, the PCA voted to conduct an investigation into her teachings, specifically found in her most famous work, Jesus Calling.
The vote to investigate passed 947 in favor to 834 opposed.
"The Jesus Calling brand has ministered to millions of people around the world"

The husband of the late Sarah Young spoke against the motion.
"We are a people sola scripture. We are a people that bow to the norming whis is itself not normed."

Arguments for the motion emphasized Sola Scriptura. The fact that they are having this conversation in the PCA and policing on their own shows that they are a serious denomination.
