Hi, this is Justin.
Here at Theocast, we aim to herald the message of Jesus and the rest that is ours in Him, and we also encourage the saints to show compassion to one another because of Christ in the gospel.
But that does not mean for one second that we are soft peddling sin.
In fact, sin is far worse and it's a much bigger deal than many of us think that it is.
We are all born with lusts and cravings and passions and desires that are wrong.
And John and I are gonna have a conversation about that today.
There's all kinds of implications for life in the church, including accountability, which is where John and I will go in the members' podcast area.
We hope this is clarifying and helpful to you.
Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary pilgrims to rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a reformed perspective.
Our hosts today are John Moffat, pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, and myself, Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
John, brother, we have met to podcast to do.
And I think we're going to have a really good and helpful conversation that we'll tee up here in just a minute.
But before we get to that portion of the podcast, we're going to give the people what they want.
