Repenting of Repentance
March 9, 2022
Summary
Repentance is a threatening word for many in the church. It shouldn't be. Repentance is often taught and discussed in a way that is unhelpful. In this episode, Jon and Justin consider repentance from a biblical and Reformed perspective. God is the one who repents us. Repentance, at its heart, is an agreement with God and a siding with God against our sin. The turning we do in repentance is always a turning to Christ. And, it is possible to be repentant even in the midst of ongoing sin.

Hi, this is John.
And today on Theocast, we're going to have a lively conversation about repentance before and after salvation.
Is repentance required for salvation?
And why is repentance often weaponized?
We use it as a source to question people's salvation when it should be a wonderful gift from the Father.
We hope you enjoy.

Your host today, Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
And I am John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reform Church in Springhill, Tennessee.
And Justin, it is good to be with you again, my friend.
We were discussing before the podcast about all the different episodes that we want to record, and it's good.
We're excited about a lot of upcoming episodes, stuff related to things we're studying, stuff related to our sermons, stuff related to theological culture.
So, all of that to say, Justin, today's a good one.
So, why don't you take us in?
