Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we are discussing spiritual disciplines.
Justin and I have a conversation about the history of where they come from, how they are actually counter-Reformation theology, and then we look at how we should be understanding the way in which we grow and mature in Christ.
And in the members podcast, we have a lively conversation about how spiritual disciplines tend to be individualized and could possibly hurt the unity of the church.
We hope you enjoy.
