When I say the word, repent, how do you feel?

Or when I say confess your sins, what is that evoking you?

If you're out there and repentance feels scary or there's an edge to it, it's threatening,

or the confession of sin feels the same, this podcast today is for you. John and I are going to have a sweet

conversation about how good God is to us, how forgiving, how merciful he is, and how as we've been

united to Jesus in faith and we're now in the family of God, it is the best thing in the world to live a

life of continual repentance and of continual open confession of sin. We want to walk in the light

together. There is freedom and there is joy to be found in it. So let's make repentance great

As we say at Theocast, all of Christ for all of life through all of Scripture. That's our goal today. And if this is your first time listening, we're so glad that you're here. And we pray this is not only informative, but also more importantly, that you're encouraged in your faith. Your hosts are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina for the last 10 years. You just celebrated 10 years. So that's exciting. True. And I'm John Moffitt and the pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee,
