Theocast
A Pastoral Response to Theonomy
May 24, 2023
Summary
In the second of two episodes on theonomy, Jon and Justin consider some of the practical fallout of theonomy: the gospel tends to be obscured, the mission of the church is confused, and burdens are placed on the saints that we were never meant to bear. How should we respond pastorally to these concerns and the assertions of theonomy?

Hi, this is Justin.
Today on Theocast, we're going to talk again about Theonomy.
This is the second of two episodes on that topic.
Last week, we sought to engage theonomy at a theological level.
This week, we're trying to talk more pastorally about our concerns related to theonomy.
It's got a lot of fallout for the saints in the pew.
So, we're going to identify some of those concerns and try to respond in ways that will be helpful.
And again, this week, we are offering the Semper Reformanda portion for free.
So we hope that you enjoy that.
We hope that the episode in general is clarifying and encouraging for you.
Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a confessional, reformed, and pastoral perspective.
Even as John holds up his coffee mug that encourages us, yes, to rest in the Lord Jesus.
He's done it all, and that's why we're here.
So, your hosts today are John Moffat, who is pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and I'm Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
We have met again to podcast today, John.
