Feeling Cold and Discouraged?

August 23, 2023

Summary

Christians struggle. We are often weak. We often feel cold and apathetic--even toward the things of God. We battle discouragement. Many believers are afraid to admit these things are true, but most of us live here. Jon and Justin talk openly about all of this on today’s episode. Take heart, there is hope for the weak!

Hi, this is John.

00:00:06

Today on Theocast, Justin and I want to speak to all of us who struggle with discouragement, feeling cold and disconnected from Christ.

00:00:13

We're going to look to the gospel, look to God's hope and his story, and to some very special, unique songs that bring encouragement to the weary saint.

00:00:24

Stay tuned.

00:00:24

We're excited to announce we have a brand new podcast available called the Kingsmen Podcast.

00:00:30

It's where we are reclaiming biblical manhood by training and equipping men for the work of the kingdom.

00:00:36

You can find it anywhere you download a podcast.

00:00:38

You can also watch it on YouTube.

00:00:39

We have new episodes that come out every Monday.

00:00:53

Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Weary Pilgrims to Rest in Christ, conversations about the Christian life from a reformed, confessional, and pastoral perspective.

00:01:05

And your hosts are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.

00:01:10

And I'm John Moffat.

00:01:11

I'm pastor of Grace Reform Church in Springhill, Tennessee.

00:01:13

And if you're watching this on YouTube, yes, Justin and I are not, our eyes are watery, not because we just looked at onions.

00:01:22

We just are so thankful for God's kindness and grace, and just had a very small week time of prayer before we started the podcast.

00:01:30

So I just can't get conversation, man.

00:01:35

And it segues into our topic for today.

00:01:38

It does.

00:01:39

Man, a couple of announcements for you, and we're just going to get right into this.
