Hi, this is Justin. Happy New Year to all of you listeners out there today on Theocast.

John and I are going to have a conversation that we think might be applicable to things that

you perhaps have gone through in the holiday season. Maybe time with friends, time with family,

and let's just be frank. Not everybody agrees. Maybe even on Christ in the gospel at all, but even amongst believers, maybe some of your

family and friends do not understand the gospel or the law or the scriptures the way that

you do.

How is it that we should approach disagreement about theology or about the Christian life?

What are the best ways to be winsome over the long haul

to see people come to see the sufficiency of Christ for them? John and I are going to talk about that

from the perspective of not just our ministry or being pastors, but just being Christians and

engaging others over things that we disagree about. We hope this is helpful to you. We mean for it to be pastoral

and encouraging. Stay tuned. Before we jump into the podcast, we want to tell you about a really important

announcement. We're doing a one-day conference on suffering and the return of Christ. It's going to be

January 18th, 2024 in Escondito, California. And we're going to be doing it with a Bounding Race Radio

with the host Chris Gordon. And we're going to be hosting it at his church, which is Escondido

United Reform Church. We're going to be having four sessions, going to start in the morning,

Thursday morning at 10 a.m. And we're going to go all the way through the evening. And we're going to have a special guest with us that evening, Dr. Bob Godfrey, who's going to be joining us in a panel

as we discuss the importance of suffering and eschatology and why our eschatology matters. Please go and

register. It's going to be January 18th in Escondito, California. and we look forward to seeing you there.
