What Does America Need?

People often criticize us here at Theocast saying that we are not concerned at all about society or about the culture in which we live or even about the country in which we're citizens.

So today, John and I are going to talk about that.

We're going to talk about what the Lord is up to in building his church, and we're going to talk about the gospel, which we tend to do.

And we're going to talk about how all of these things affect our perspective on society and culture in the countries in which we live.

We hope that this is encouraging and clarifying for you.

Stay tuned.

If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word.

It's called pietism.

Have you ever felt like your 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?

You can download it on our website.

Just go to theocast.org.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ: Conversations about the Christian life from a confessional, reformed, and pastoral perspective.

Here at Theocast, our aim is to clarify the gospel, in other words, to take the clutter off of it that is often put there and to reclaim the purpose of the kingdom of Christ.
