Hi, this is Justin.
And today on Theocast, we are going to do our best to give the people what they want.
By popular demand, we are going to try to answer the question why it is that we have left dispensationalism.
Perhaps you're out there and you have spent some time in a dispensationalist context, or maybe you're just seeing aspects of dispensational teaching in your current environment.
We're going to have a conversation today about the distinctions between our perspective that is Reformed and confessional over and against the perspective that is dispensational.
John and I are going to talk a little bit personally.
We're going to talk theologically.
We hope that this is a clarifying conversation for you.
And as always, we hope it encourages you in the Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
We have met today on a rainy Wednesday morning, at least it is here, to do another podcast.
I'm not a huge fan of the rain and the clouds.
I understand that the earth needs it, John, but my mood doesn't so much love it.
I'll just be honest.
