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

Conversations about the Christian life from a reformed perspective.

Our hosts today are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist

Church in Asheville, North Carolina. Jimmy Bueller, pastor of Christ Community Church in Wilmer, Minnesota.

And I'm John Moffitt, pastor of community Bible church in Spring Hill, Tennessee. Today is a little bit of a

unique episode. Jimmy, want you to talk about what we're doing Hill, Tennessee. Today is a little bit of a unique episode. Jimmy,

want you to talk about what we're doing in episode zero. Today is what we affectionately call

episode zero. It's where we get to help the listener understand who we are, what we're about,

sort of the theological grid by which we see and understand things. And so today on the podcast, you'll be

able to get a really foundational view of Theocast. So, Justin, do you want to kick us off?

Yeah, happy to, bro. So here at Theocast, our tagline is encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ,

and we are sincere about that. We really do believe

that Jesus is the point of the Bible, that the Bible is not just a collection of stories. It's

certainly not a collection of moral fables and things like that. It's not a handbook for godly living.

It is the story of God's great redemptive

work, how he planned an eternity past to save a people and how God, the Son, who took on flesh,

Jesus Christ, came to accomplish our redemption. And we understand that he's accomplished everything

that's necessary for our salvation.

And so we believe that Jesus is enough and that the fundamental battle of the Christian life

is to trust and rest and hope in Christ completely. And so that's what we're going to be

pointing people to always here on Theocast. I think that's an interesting topic because as you

think about this, nobody would really say in their church that Jesus isn't the point of the Bible.
