Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a reformed perspective.

Our goal today is to pull the clutter off the gospel and to reclaim the purpose of the kingdom.

Your host are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.

And I'm John Moffitt. I'm the pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

Today is a unique podcast. We were interviewed recently by Remnant Radio and we enjoyed this conversation with both

Josh and Michael, who are the host of the podcast, discussing all things law gospel. And we talked

about the history, confusing passages, and how it's often used inappropriately to rob us

of assurance, and how when it's used rightly gives us assurance. So we hope you enjoy the episodes.

Stay tuned. If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word. It's called pietism.

You ever felt like the Christian life is a heavy burden versus rest and joy, that you wake

up worrying about how well you're going to perform instead of thinking about what Christ

has done for you?

It's dread versus joy, really.

That's pietism.

Piatism causes Christians to look in on themselves and find their hope, not in what

Christ has done, but what they're

doing. And we have a little book for you. It's free. We want you to download it. And we're going to

explain the difference between pietism and what we call confessionalism. Reform theology, really,

how it is that we walk by faith, seeing the joy of Christ, and when Jesus says, come to me and I will give

you rest, what does that look like? You can download it at our website. Just go to Theocast.org.

I got the guys over at Theocass. I've got John Moffat and Justin Perdue with us.

I've got a lot of great things to say about them. Before I do, I want to remind everyone, you got to hit subscribe to the channel, like the video, all that stuff, shared around for those who are going to be helped by this kind of content.
