In this episode, the guys consider the distinction between the law and the gospel. God has revealed the law and the gospel in Scripture. They aren’t the same thing, but yet, they are often confused. This confusion results in all kinds of fallout, including robbing the believer of assurance and peace.
So many of the questions we get at Theocast come down to the issue of assurance. How do we know we will be finally saved? How is it that we have peace before God- now and in the future? We talk personally of our own experiences, make some observations about evangelicalism, and then point people to Christ and his sufficiency.
The guys continue the conversation on assurance by considering good works, the ongoing struggle with sin, and the work of Christ.

We continue answering questions from the online live Q&A. Topics include how to preach obedience and the damage caused by fear-based preaching.
In light of COVID-19, the hosts thought it would be a good thing to do a live online Q&A. Amongst other things, we talk about confessional theology, justification and sanctification, and church discipline.
Jon and Justin talk about their own journeys away from legal preaching and also consider the purpose of the pulpit.
In this episode, Jon and Justin discuss legal preaching. This kind of preaching tends to remove hope and establish fear. It tends to turn every passage of Scripture into law. It tends to focus on how people are not measuring up. We point out the prevalence of legal preaching and offer some correctives.
In the Members podcast, we cover preaching about sin and obedience in light of the gospel. We also discuss Christ-centered preaching–what it is and what it isn’t.
In this episode, Jon and Justin discuss preaching [about] the gospel. It’s been our observation that guys will get fired up about preaching the gospel, they will give the facts of the gospel, and talk a lot about the gospel–without ever offering Jesus to sinners and heralding the grace of God in Christ.
The guys continue the conversation about suffering and the Christian life. We blow up some unhelpful things we’ve seen being posted on social media and elsewhere
