As human beings, we listen to a lot of voices.

And that's true in our day-to-day experience, whether we're aware of it or not.

And so a healthy way to reflect on yourself and a healthy way to do some introspection

is to ask yourself this question, whose voice am I listening to?

Am I listening to the voice of the evil one, the voice of

Satan that accuses and lies to me about God and about everything? Am I listening to the voice

of my flesh? I'm listening to the voice of the world. Or am I listening to the voice of my

savior who speaks an entirely different word to me. The voice that you're listening to is going

to affect your day-over-day experience greatly. It's going to affect how you experience life

and the ways that you look at life and the story that's in your mind. And so we hope that

this conversation today will reframe some of that,

and we can recalibrate our ears to listen to the voice of Jesus. 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?

You can download it on our website. Just go to Theocast.org.
