Hi, this is John. And today on TheoCast, Justin and I have a simple conversation around the purpose of the church and the purpose of the Christian life. It seems like we wake up and we are given agendas. We are given reasons for life, what we should lay our life down for, and what we're going to do is compare

it to the scriptures. What does the Bible say is the purpose of the church? Has the American

church lost its way and its purposes and what's driving it? And where do we find our motivation

for waking up every day to love and serve our king? It's a fun conversation. We hope you enjoy.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging, weary, beat-up, exhausted and tired Christians

to find their soul rest in Jesus Christ.

Conversations about that and a lot of other stuff from a reformed pastoral and confessional perspective.

Justin, today we are here to clarify the gospel and reclaim the purpose of the kingdom,

and I am excited to do so with you,

my friend. The host of podcast is Justin Purdue pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in beautiful

Asheville, North Carolina. And I am John Moffitt pastor of Grace Reform Church in Springhill, Tennessee.

And Justin, we only have a couple more weeks of recording and then the year will be over.

And yeah, we're excited. We're getting. So we're recording in December. Those will be launched in January.

In a few weeks, Justin and I are going to be together in California. It's been two years,

three years. How many years has it been since we've been in California together? It was 2019, man.

Oh, three years.
