Hi, this is Jimmy.

00:00:02

And on Theocast today, the guys had the opportunity to interview Chad Bird.

00:00:06

You may know Chad from the 1517 network or from the popular podcast 40 Minutes in the Old Testament.

00:00:12

Chad graciously shares his story with us about sin, failure, repentance, and ultimately how Christ truly saved his life.

00:00:21

We talk a little law gospel, theology of glory versus theology of the cross, and what happens when we qualify repentance in the Christian life?

00:00:29

It was a great interview, and we're excited to share it with you.

00:00:33

Enjoy.

00:00:43

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a reformed perspective.

00:00:53

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.

00:01:11

We have a fun episode today because we get to spend some time with a dear friend and brother who is on the line with us, Chad Bird.

00:01:19

And so, Chad, welcome to the podcast today.

00:01:22

Hey, it's great to be here.

00:01:23

Thanks for having me on the show.

00:01:24

I've been looking forward to it.

00:01:26

Yeah, we're happy to be here.

00:01:28

Scheduled this, I think, back in May, or maybe even April, and we're not able to get to it.

00:01:35

And so I'm glad we finally did.

00:01:37

A little bit about Chad before we get on with this conversation.

00:01:40

Just for those of you that may not know who Chad is, Chad is part of now, a part of the 1517 network.

00:01:48
