"Where Are You, God?"

Exhausted, beat up, suffering.

Where are you, God?

Why is this happening?

Why can't I hear you?

And why can't I feel your presence?

Well, for those who have those that feeling, and you're exhausted, and you just need a glimmer of hope.

Well, that's what Justin and I have for you today.

We want to point you to Christ and His gospel, and the Father who knows you and hears you.

Stay tuned.

If you're new to Theocast, you may not have heard of this word.

It's called pietism.

Have you ever felt like the Christian life is a heavy burden versus rest and joy?

That you wake up worrying about how well you're going to perform instead of thinking about what Christ has done for you.

It's dread versus joy, really.

That's pietism.

Pietism causes Christians to look in on themselves and find their hope not in what Christ has done, but what they're doing.

And we have a little book for you.

It's free.

We want you to download it, and we're going to explain the difference between Pietism and what we call confessionalism, Reformed theology, really, how it is that we walk by faith, seeing the joy of Christ, and when Jesus says,

Come to me and I will give you rest, what does that look like?
