Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, Justin and I have a unique and special podcast for you.
A couple of months ago, we had the opportunity of being interviewed on a podcast on 1517 called Outside Ourselves, and the host is Kelsey Clanbera.
And we had just a wonderful time getting to know her, and she had a lot of questions just about the gospel and clarifying the gospel and love-gospel distinction, and even some biographical questions about Justin and I and our
history about how we came to know the gospel of grace.
And so it was a great time together.
It's almost an hour.
We hope you guys enjoy this unique special podcast as we collaborate with outside ourselves and Theocast.
Thanks.
If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word, it's called pietism.
Have you ever felt like the Christian life is a heavy burden versus rest and joy?
That you wake up worrying about how well you're going to perform instead of thinking about what Christ has done for you.
It's dread versus joy, really.
That's pietism.
Pietism causes Christians to look in on themselves and find their hope not in what Christ has done, but what they're doing.
And we have a little book for you, it's free.
We want you to download it, and we're going to explain the difference between pietism and what we call confessionalism, reformed theology, really, how it is that we walk by faith, seeing the joy of Christ.
And when Jesus says, Come to me and I will give you rest.
What does that look like?
