Hi, this is John.
Reform Catholicity.
No, we don't want to be Roman Catholics, but there is a unity of faith, and that's what this podcast is about.
The history of covenant theology and really confessionalism, and where did people like the 1689 Lennon Baptist Confession come from?
They're not Anabaptists, so who are they?
And Justin and I have a really fun conversation about that today.
It might be a little different, more historical, but I guarantee you, we can't help but talk about Jesus in the gospel.
So, if you want that, stay tuned.
If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word, it's called pietism.
Have 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.
Pietism 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, reformed 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?
