Welcome to Theocast.

00:00:05

Today we have a conversation.

00:00:06

I had the privilege of coming down to Asheville, and I'm sitting here with Justin and three of his church members.

00:00:12

We have a live audience, which we hardly ever do, but Justin, real quick, tell them what it is that we did today.

00:00:18

What did we talk about?

00:00:18

It's kind of a fun, fun topic.

00:00:20

Fun and reflective.

00:00:22

We're recording this in 2021.

00:00:24

This episode is probably releasing in the new year, and we're thinking about where we've been, where we are now.

00:00:28

We're thankful for that.

00:00:30

And so, John and I both reflect on things that we didn't know a long time ago that we wish we had knew.

00:00:36

Then, I wish we had known.

00:00:38

Man, that's terrible English.

00:00:39

Back to the future.

00:00:40

Back to the future, yeah.

00:00:41

So, there we have that.

00:00:42

And these guys sitting here with us are kind of the same, they've walked through a transition and become confessional, covenantal reform Protestants, and they're like, wasn't there all that wasn't there all the time?

00:00:52

I mean, I wasn't there a few years ago.

00:00:54

So we talk about that.
