Hi, this is Justin. Today on Theocast, we are going to talk about one of the ways that we tend to struggle as Christians.

We look around at our lives, whether that's how we're doing spiritually or we look around at our lives circumstantially,

and we question whether or not God really is graciously inclined toward us, because at times we just do not see a lot of

evidence of the grace of God. And the antidote to what ails us is to actually not look at our

lives as the evidence of God's grace for us, but to look at Christ's life as the evidence

of God's graciousness toward us as his people. So that's the conversation

that we're going to be having today. We're going to look at the confessions, and we're

going to consider the scriptures as we think about how God loves us and how he feels about us

as his people. Stay tuned. If you'd like to help support Theocast, you can do that by leaving us a review on iTunes

That's right. We were both kind of ho-hum getting on this morning. Just pastoral...

Some heavy stuff going on in life. Yeah, pastoral duties getting a little heavy at times. And

we started shifting the conversation

towards what we're not talking about today. And both of us were like, let's go, let's go. Let's turn on
