Hi, this is Justin. Today on Theocast, we're going to be talking about Jesus. And in particular,

we're going to be talking about the posture of Jesus toward his own. In Matthew 11, Jesus invites

the weary to come to him and says that he is gentle and lowly in heart. But is that how you have

thought about Jesus? Is that how you've heard him presented?

Or have you heard Jesus presented as something that is frightening, scary, unsafe, that he is just

waiting to drop the hammer on you and is exacting toward his own? If you have, this podcast is

for you today. We're going to consider the love, the patience, the mercy of

Jesus in both the regular and the members episodes. We hope this is encouraging for you. Stay tuned.

If you'd like to help support Theocast, you can do that by leaving us a review on iTunes

Plus, we have a Facebook group

if you'd like to join the conversation there.

Thanks for listening.

Conversations about the Christian life from a reform perspective.

Our hosts today are John Moffitt, pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee,

and myself, Justin Purdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina. John, we have met on an unusual day of the week on a Tuesday morning

this time, which is kind of our Monday, to record a podcast. It's raining outside. So it's a

rainy Monday in my world. And I'm feeling that way.

Feeling that way today. But hey, man, we're behind the microphone. Yeah, I get to preach to a bunch

of junior high high schools tomorrow at Zion Presbyterian school. So we had to shift our record day.
