Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we are discussing faith alone and how this has become the radical position within the evangelical Christian world to believe that God justifies and saves sinners by faith alone.
We often need to add something to that.
Oh, yes, but we must have works, or we must demonstrate this, or we must give evidence of our faith.
We are going to talk about how we have to protect this doctrine and not allow clutter to be added to it, and really, how our joy and hope, and even our obedience come from properly understanding the doctrine of
solid feeding.
We hope you enjoy.

Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Weary Pilgrims to Rest in Christ: Conversations about the Christian Life from a Reformed Perspective.
Today, around the microphones from Asheville, North Carolina is Pastor Justin Perdue of Covenant Baptist Church and myself, pastor of Grace Reform Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
Jimmy Bueller is faithfully teaching children about the Bible at his job as a bivocational pastor.
Jimmy is the pastor of Christ Community Church in Wilmer, Minnesota.
He'll be back with us next week.
Justin, it's good to talk to you, my friend.
It was fun catching up this morning.
Yeah, always good to talk to you, bro.
I appreciate the friendship that we have and the relationships that we have, the three of us here at Theocast.
We love on each other sometimes, along with the other elders of our churches, we pastor each other and we're able to talk about really good and exciting things and also things that are hard.
