Hi, this is Jimmy.
On the podcast today, John and I seek to answer the question: what do you do when it's time to leave your church?
Perhaps you've been listening to Theocasts and other Reformed podcasts, and you begin to sense this shift that you're having in your local church context, that you may need to leave and worship elsewhere.
We discuss the ways that are unhelpful to leave and the ways and things to consider to be gracious and kind and charitable as you consider a new church family.
In the members podcasts, we talk about some primary and secondary issues to consider in thinking about a new home of worship.
We hope this conversation is helpful to you, and we look forward to you listening.
Thanks.

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

Our other co-host, Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, he is not with us today.
That man just needs some time off.
He's a hardworking man.
Yeah, he's actually moving at the moment, moving a little bit, moving his house.
Yeah.
