Hi, this is John.
And today on Theocast, Justin and I will kind of take shots at ourselves and our world, the conservative reformed world and how it's all over the place at times, all over the road, falling on one side of the
ditch and the other, from dead orthodoxy all the way over to revivalism and pietism.
And we're not here to just point the gun at everybody else and say, see how they're wrong, we're gonna shoot them down.
We're actually trying to create a conversation to where we can ask ourselves: How did we get here?
What is it that God's expecting?
And can we identify that maybe one of these pitfalls are in my own life?
And how do we correct it?
So, we have this conversation we continue it into the simple reformanda where we talk about the purpose of the christian life and the kingdom so we hope you enjoy we are excited to announce we have a brand new
podcast available called the kingsmen Podcast.
It's where we are reclaiming biblical manhood by training and equipping men for the work of the kingdom.
You can find it anywhere you download a podcast.
You can also watch it on YouTube.
We have new episodes that come out every Monday.
Welcome to The Ocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to find their soul sufficiency in Jesus Christ alone.
Conversations about your Christian life and ours from a reformed confessional and pastoral perspective.
If you're wondering what's going to be going on today and that didn't make any sense, let me boil it down.
We're going to clarify the gospel and then we're going to reclaim the purpose of the kingdom and how you fit into it.
Your host today are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, and I'm John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
And Justin, it's been a wild morning.
