[00:00:00]Hi, this is John.

[00:00:01]And today on the podcast, we are talking about a modern evangelical movement called discipleship.

[00:00:07]And yes, I said modern.

[00:00:08]What is the difference between a Christian and a disciple?

[00:00:11]Does the Bible make a distinction between the two?

[00:00:14]And how is it that we have individualized the Christian life by calling it discipleship?

[00:00:19]We hope you enjoy the conversation.

[00:00:21]And in the members' podcast, it gets a little lively as we try and explain how dangerous it is when you radicalize discipleship from just the normal, ordinary Christian life.

[00:00:31]We hope you enjoy.

[00:00:42]Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ.

[00:00:48]Conversations about the Christian life from a reformed perspective.

[00:00:52]Our hosts today are John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, and myself, Jimmy Bueller, pastor of Christ Community Church in Wilmer, Minnesota.

[00:01:07]Gentlemen, good to be back on the mic with you both and see your lovely faces at 7:44 a.m.

[00:01:14]Central Time.

[00:01:15]How are you both doing?

[00:01:18]Doing well.

[00:01:18]Good to have you back on the mic, dude.

[00:01:21]Yeah, I'm feeling better about myself from that compliment.

[00:01:23]Thank you, Jimmy.

[00:01:24]I'm ready for the day.
