Struggling with the Church
April 14, 2021
Summary
Many people struggle with the church. We go and it feels plastic. Inauthentic. Or it seems like the church is full of people who understand themselves to be crushing it. And so, it doesn't seem there is a place for the weak or miserable sinner. As a result, many people are disenchanted with the church. Where did all this come from? Is there something better?

Hi, this is John, and today on Theocast, we are talking about the struggle with the modern church.
If you've walked in and you feel like it's plastic, it's cold, you feel disconnected, you look around and you feel like an alien.
We want to talk about that and why we have those struggles.
Stay tuned.

Welcome to Theocast, Encouraging Weary Pilgrims to Rest in Christ conversations about the Christian life from a reformed and I would dare say pastoral perspective.
Today, your hosts are Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina, and I am John Moffitt, pastor of Grace Reform Church in Springhill, Tennessee.
Justin, my friend, it is good to be with you this morning.
We have a lot, including a really good book to give away today.
We do have a good book to give away today.
We like to be generous here at Theocast.
I mean, Christ has given us His own righteousness, and so the least we can do is give people books.
Amen.
That includes how to know what Christ's righteousness is.
Totally.
And liberating books about the Christian life and the church and what those things might look like.
Yeah.
So today we're excited to give away a book entitled Ordinary by our brother, and dare I say, even a friend of Theocast, Michael Horton.
