Many of you listening to this podcast grew up in dispensationalism, or maybe you weren't trained in it,

but you grew up in a context where by default you absorbed it. We get a lot of questions here at Theocast about the differences between our perspective and that of dispensationalism.

So we thought it would be a good idea to sit down and record an episode where we talk about the distinctives between covenant theology, which is what we hold here, versus dispensationalism.

What are those differences?

Major ones.

And why do they matter?

That's the topic of today's conversation.

Stay tuned.

If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word.

It's called pietism.

You ever felt like the Christian life is a heavy burden versus rest and joy, that you wake up worrying about how well you're going to

perform instead of thinking about what Christ has done for you. It's dread versus joy, really.

That's pietism. Piatism causes Christians to look in on themselves

and find their hope, not in what Christ has done, but what they're doing. And we have a little

book for you. It's free. We want you to download it. And we're going to explain the difference

between pietism and what we call confessionalism. Reform theology, really, how it is that we walk by faith, seeing the joy of Christ,

and when Jesus says, come to me and I will give you rest,

what does that look like?

You can download it on our website.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a confessional, reformed, and pastoral perspective. Our goal at Theocast is to clarify the gospel. For another way to frame it is,

we want to take the clutter off of it. We want to be pointedly against anything that obscures Christ
