Jesus said that those whom the sun sets free are free indeed, but maybe you're listening to this podcast and you're thinking, bro, I don't really feel free.

There may be reasons for that. The gospel is marvelous and wonderful and it has many facets.

And there are times that certain things aren't talked about so much.

The forgiveness of sins, absolution from guilt,

the imputation of Christ's righteousness are wonderful, and we have also been set free from the

kingdom of darkness and from the evil one. So today on the podcast, John and I have a conversation

about that freedom and how that is an essential part of the gospel message. 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?
