Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, Justin and I are going to discuss chasing goosebumps.

00:00:09

Those spiritual highs that you have after personal devotion time or a worship service or evangelizing.

00:00:16

We're looking for that next spiritual significance where we feel close to God and we know that His presence is near.

00:00:24

Why is that dangerous, and how can that actually hurt our assurance and distract us from the gospel?

00:00:32

We hope you enjoy.

00:00:33

Stay tuned.

And it's good to be podcasting with you today.

00:01:27

Justin and I already were on a podcast, another podcast that's probably come out by now.

00:01:30

We encourage you to doing a lot of that podcasting today.

00:01:33

Apparently, podcast is a verb now.

00:01:35

That's right.

00:01:36

And one of the things we're excited about is that we have a people ask us all the time: what's a great book that you guys recommend?

00:01:41

One of the things we're going to start doing is giving away stuff on our podcast.
