Hey, this is Jimmy.
On the podcast today, we seek to answer one of your questions specifically about 2 Peter chapter 1.
And how is this chapter not teaching what we call pietism?
So, we discuss the difference between piety and pietism.
We look at the saint-center realities of the Christian life.
So we exegete the first 12 verses of this passage in our regular podcast, and then our members' podcast, we look at the rest of the chapter and discuss how we preach that in a way that helps bolster people's
assurance and doesn't rip it out from underneath their feet.
So we hope this conversation is helpful for you, stay tuned.
