Summary
Have you ever found yourself resting in Christ, only to suddenly lose that peace? What can rob you of your rest in Christ? Today's podcast addresses this very issue.

These pitfalls can undermine the very hope we have in the sufficiency of Christ. Join Justin and Jon as they walk through three different areas of life that cause us to lose our rest in Christ. We pray this is encouraging to you.

As you've read the title, there are times when you find yourself resting in Christ and then it's gone.
What happened?
Or you might be wondering, well, what can rob me from my rest in Christ?
This is what today's podcast is about.
There are pitfalls that we can find ourselves either trapped in, so we can't get to rest, or once we're in rest, Satan will use them to trip us up and cause anxiety and pain and suffering in ways that
remove the very hope that we have, which is the sufficiency of Christ.
Justin and I want to walk through three different areas in life that cause us to lose our rest in Christ.
We pray this is encouraging to 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 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, reform 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?
