Hi, this is Justin.
Today on Theocast, we're going to be talking about the darkness and the evil that exists within all of us.
The Christian life is often anything but clean.
It's messy.
It's hard.
We're not always on this nice, clean, upward trajectory of ongoing improvement.
We're going to talk honestly about that and talk honestly about the fact that it's impossible to navigate the Christian life in this fallen world until we come to grips with who we really are.
We're excited to have this conversation, and we hope that it's helpful to you.
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 Community Bible Church in Spring Hill, Tennessee, Jimmy Buehler, pastor of Christ Community Church in Wilmer, Minnesota, and I'm Justin Perdue, pastor of Covenant Baptist Church in Asheville, North Carolina.
Jimmy, you have the cultural update for today, man.
What's going on in your world?
No pressure.
Yeah, so we are in the process of planting a church, as the listener may remember from the interview that we did and just various outlets.
And whoever's listening, I mean, this is like, probably the easiest thing you've ever done, right?
Very easy.
Planting a church, it's like planting a flower.
It is.
