Hi, this is John. And today on Theocast, we are discussing spiritual disciplines.

Justin and I have a conversation about the history of where they come from, how they are actually

counter-Reformation theology, and then we look at how we should be understanding the way in which

we grow and mature in Christ. And in the members podcast,

we have a lively conversation about how spiritual disciplines tend to be individualized

and could possibly hurt the unity of the church. We hope you enjoy. Hey, guys, there's a quick

reminder if you'd like to join Theocast and helping other people find rest in Christ.

A simple way of doing that is simply by leaving us a review on iTunes or your favorite podcast app.
