Hi, this is Justin.
Today on Theocast, our friend Ken Jones is joining us for another conversation.
And the topic for this episode is revivalism.
And we had talked to Ken about having this conversation and recording this episode weeks before the Asbury revivals were a thing.
And so we trust the Lord in that.
And the conversation today about revivalism, we have it from a historical perspective and help try to delineate the two distinct traditions that exist in American Protestantism.
One that is confessional and grounded in the ordinary means of grace, another that is revivalistic and pietistic.
If you don't know what all that means and you've never thought about these things before, this episode today is for you.
And we just because we like to do this on occasion, give you a taste of what the Semper Refer Manda episodes are like, we're going to leave that on as a portion of today's recording where we talk with
Ken about the Puritans.
What do we make of the Puritans?
And when people ask us, hey, what do you guys think about the Puritans?
How would we answer that?
You'll get to find out today.
And we also do a little bit of more church history in talking about the Marrow controversy.
We hope you enjoy all of this content.
Stay tuned.
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.
