exhausted, beat up, suffering, where are you, God?

Why is this happening?

Why can't I hear you?

And why can't I feel your presence?

Well, for those who have those, that feeling and you're exhausted and you just need a glimmer of hope.

Well, that's what Justin and I have for you today.

We want to point you to

Christ in his gospel and the Father who knows you and hears you. Stay tuned. If you're

a neater 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 on our website.

Just go to Theocast.org weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.

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

And Justin, that is exactly what we are today.

We are weary pilgrims who are trusting in the theology that's been handed down to us to find the sufficiency in Christ.

So your host today are John Moffitt. I'm John Moffitt,
