Hey guys, Joshua Lewis here with Remnant Radio, and I'll tell you about Rimcon this spring in San Diego, California.

The dates are February 5th through the 7th, and the subject of the conference is growing in the Gifts of the Spirit.

You can join us there in person or via live stream, and what you're going to get out of that conference is some serious theological training on the gifts of the Spirit.

What are they? How do they operate?

There's also going to be opportunities to break out and practice spiritual gifts in a kind of biblical,

safe, and orderly way. We've got lectures from myself, Michael Miller, Michael Roundtry, John Mark Baker, from the Minor Prophets, and Dr. Sam Storms. So if you're looking to move beyond just

the theoretical and learning the theology of spiritual guests, but you're actually wanting to start

practicing them for yourself, I'd encourage you to come out and hang out with us February 5th

through the 7th there in San Diego, California. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Remnant

Oh, what's up, man? It's so great being with you on this, Josh. Yeah, so a little bit about me. So I'm a pastor in the Portland area, church called Blamette, Christian Church, kind of family of churches here in the area. And while Pauline and I've been married about 19 years with three kids, teenagers

right now. And a couple of different books. So my first book was called The Skelons of God's

Closet, which tried to help Christians who were maybe grappling with some of the tough topics

of the Christian faith, things like hell, judgment, holy war, kind of going, man, God is good,

but man, these things

kind of make me question. Is he really good if these things are true? And so the premise of that one was

just going like, you're trying to offer some paradigm shifts for going, there's some caricatures out there

of how we can tend to think of God when it comes to these topics. So trying to reclaim a healthier,

biblical, historic, kind of robust understanding where we go, oh, God is good, not in spite of these topics, but even in and through them, we can see the goodness of God shining through and through. And I'd say, you know, a couple different books. And ministry since then, that's been a theme has just kind of been what I call paradigm shifts going, how do we confront some of the caricatures that are out there and reclaim a healthier, richer kind of understanding of the

God of the gospel and the historic Christian faith, where we see really a greater confidence

that we can reclaim in the goodness of God, the character of God, even by diving into some of the

tough topics. Yeah. I love that. And today we're talking
