Hi, this is John. And today on Theocast, Justin and I are going to have a conversation about a problem within evangelicalism or within Christianity in general, where we feel like we must always be validating our faith or validating the faith of others. It's a lively conversation.

We really hit home on the power of the gospel and how often grace can be offensive when it

should be our motivation. We hope you enjoy. If you'd like to help support Theocast, you can do that

Welcome. Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.

Conversations about the Christian life from a confessionally reformed and pastoral perspective.

If you want to know what that means, well, stay tuned or read our free ebook. Either one

probably should do fine. Your host today are pastor of Covenant Baptist Church, Justin Perdue,

and I'm John Moffat, the pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee. I think I forgot

to mention that you're from Asheville, North Carolina. Well, the problem is, Justin, we've done this three times now, and I can't remember what I've said.

We've had all kinds of technical problems, and it's been a glorious morning.

We had some spiritual warfare going on with, like, lights going on and off, all kinds of things.

Yeah, I was going to say, we've done this three times, The triune God we serve. I mean, why do it once when you can do it three times?

That's right.

That's right.

So we're doing well anyways.

We're going to go ahead and jump into it.

And it's a fun topic for today.

And Justin, I'm going to go ahead and let you start and explain to us.
