More Than a Feeling? (Transcript)

In this episode, the guys talk about feelings. Yes, that’s right. At a prominent evangelical conference, John Piper said that it is futile to try to define saving faith apart from feelings (link). We consider whether that is correct and the fallout of that perspective as it relates to assurance.

Comforts from the Cross (Transcript)

Sometimes we think we have understood the gospel and maybe have even gotten to the bottom of it–only to have God blow up our hearts and minds with the wonder of the gospel anew. In this episode, Jon and Justin talk about the comfort of the work of Christ.

MEMBERS: Comforts from the Cross (Transcript)

Today on Theocast, Jon and I talk about the fact that sometimes as Christians we think that we have understood the gospel, foolishly thinking we have reached the bottom and that there’s not a lot left for us to understand. Then God comes in, graciously and lovingly, and explodes our hearts and minds with the wonder, truth, mercy, and grace of the gospel. 

We talk today about comforts from the Cross; the fact that when Jesus died and said that it is finished, that he had accomplished redemption and that his glory, righteousness, merits, and life were counted to wretched sinners like us. We talk about that and its implications in the church. 

In the members podcast, we consider self-righteousness and how bad it is in the church, and how if we understand the gospel rightly then it should promote love and unity because we understand that we all have the same righteousness – namely the righteousness of Christ. We hope that this conversation is encouraging to you.

Is Ambition Sin?

In this episode, the guys talk about ambition. Biblically, ambition is sin and is opposed to the gospel. We consider how we are to live before God and with one another.

“Faith Alone” Is Radical

In this episode, Jon and Justin talk about sola fide (faith alone). It is a radical message. We seek to briefly clarify the doctrine before moving on to discuss the implications of it and the importance of guarding it.

What’s Love Got to Do with It?

In this episode, Jon and Justin talk about loving one another. It was a big deal to Jesus and the apostles. But if you were to ask Christians to make a list of priorities in the Christian life, where would love show up on that list?

Discipleship Is Not About You

In this episode, the guys talk about discipleship. We often hear the word “disciple” used as a verb. Is that how it’s used in the New Testament? Is there a distinction between being a Christian and a disciple? We consider these things along with the corporate nature of being a disciple of Jesus.

The Dark Side Of Christianity (Transcript)

Today on Theocast, we’re going to be talking about the darkness and the evil that exists within all of us. The Christian life is often anything but clean. It’s messy. It’s hard. We’re not always on this nice, clean, upward trajectory of ongoing improvement. We’re going to talk honestly about that and talk honestly about the fact that it’s impossible to navigate the Christian life in this fallen world until we come to grips with who we really are. We’re excited to have this conversation, and we hope that it’s helpful to you. Stay tuned.
