Crusade for Glory

Summary
"What's wrong with the church in America?" That's a question many people are asking today. Underneath that question are a number of other questions: What is the mission of the church? What is the purpose of the Christian life? Is the church called to transform society? Is Christianity meant by God to dominate a culture? Or is it a counter-culture this side of Christ's second coming? Jon and Justin consider these things as they discuss how the American church has bought into a theology of glory.

Hi, this is John.
And today on Theocast, Justin and I have a simple conversation around the purpose of the church and the purpose of the Christian life.
It seems like we wake up and we are given agendas, we are given reasons for life, what we should lay our life down for, and what we're going to do is compare it to the scriptures.
What does the Bible say is the purpose of the church?
Has the American church lost its way and its purposes, and what's driving it?
And where do we find our motivation for waking up every day to love and serve our king?
It's a fun conversation.
We hope you enjoy.

Welcome to Theocast, encouraging weary, beat up, exhausted, and tired Christians to find their soul rest in Jesus Christ.
Conversations about that and a lot of other stuff from a reformed, pastoral, and confessional perspective.
Justin, today we are here to clarify the gospel and reclaim the purpose of the kingdom.
And I am excited to do so with you, my friend.
The host of the podcast is Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in beautiful Asheville, North Carolina.
And I am John Moffitt, pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
And Justin, we only have a couple more weeks of recording and then the year will be over.
So true.
Yeah, we're excited.
