For the Outcasts | Theocast

Maybe you're out there feeling weary, burdened, beat up, or left behind. Even in your experience as a Christian in the church, you feel like you've been run over, like you don't fit. You know that Jesus is real, but you wonder if the problem is with you. If you've felt this way repeatedly, and if you've been made to feel this way over and over, this podcast is for you.

Today, Jon and Justin are going to have a tender and honest conversation about the things that matter most to us as pastors and why Theocast exists at all: to hold out Jesus Christ for us. He came to save people like you and me. Join us as we rejoice in Him today and talk about Him. We hope you are encouraged.

For one who hasn’t been n the church for a while this is really refreshing and encouraging!

“Im a disappointment to myself I must be a disappointment to Him”

Excellent podcast. I was a Jehovah's Witness for 45 years. I woke up about 10 years ago. That former way of thinking was so ingrained, that I always come here to be reminded of God's love for me. It is so hard to accept God's grace. I have such a hard time wrapping my head around it. I have deep struggles that began when I was 7. I can't seem to change such a struggle. Simply because it has been since childhood. I always think that I'm an adult. I know it's wrong. I feel I'm on a hamster wheel. So I need to hear this message often. Thank you so much.

I was raised into a functional denial of the sufficiency of Christ. People would say they believed it, but it was never explained its raw form in relation to God's love. This is so refreshing to me because I have felt for a long time that I no longer fit with the persuasions and ideals that were ingrained into me. Thank you guys for your content.

Very encouraging brothers, a breath of fresh air. You wear the calling and gifts of true shepherds well.

So thankful for this. You are describing how I've been feeling for a while now. Thank you.

Great video. My wife and I were at a week long vacation at a Christian campground with a speaker all week . He used Matthew 5 and specifically the beatitudes as " imperatives" and not as " indicative's" I talked to him basically everyday and tried to graciously explain how I felt this text is descriptive and not prescriptive. I know I am just some random guy trying to question the pastor so the response was less then great.

I mentioned "Theocast " but he had not heard of you guys. It was still a great week but a little less of " what you are to do " and more " who you are in Christ " would have been good.

Spot on. Great video! It is definitely a Romans 7-8 world for the Christian. Messy but thank God He loves us.

Cheap grace was Bonhoeffer in Cost of Discipleship

I appreciated your video, brothers. Recommended reading, 'Not Many Mighty' by Gayle Erwin.

Jesus said He came for the sick not the healthy. Jesus also said temptations must come ?right

So, I have a pondering thought/question, and have for quite some time. You can let me know if you guys have a video on this and get it to me. I noticed, at the mention of the names of your gathering places, do not have the word "reformed" within them. Is there a particular reasoning for this? Why/why not have it? I'm neutral in asking this question. You can say, is because I have not found a solid answer or thoughts in relation to my former asking. Thanks for your time and ministry here, brothers! Blessings!

Would it be helpful for you guys and your critical brothers to humbly admit that there is error and truth on both sides. That if nothing else we all desire to be without error and be men that know the truth and practice it. I see and freely admit we all are in error and judgmental and if one of us figures out how in Christian love to correct this dilemma, with out offending the other this would be amazing.
We are not without excuse, we have received the Holy Spirit to council us in truth, through and by the word of God. We are not victims in these circumstances but we are men and as men it is easier and acceptable today to be victims. Sin and sinners have slowly and deceptively taken on a new and subtle and not so subtle transformation into victim hood . I am not saying there is no such thing as a victim, but I am saying that is not how the Gospel would categorize man kind.
I see radical Grace as an amazing truth in the Gospel and yet I long to see it blossom in the body of believers. There are many flowers that are truly beautiful, Grace being one of them. But we also know that there are aspects of Gods Grace that are amazing in the end but seem unpleasant as they grow in maturity.
You guys are blessed to be called to preach and teach radical grace, but there are other Godly men, also called like you but with a different gifting or calling. It sometimes difficult to recognize that God Works in mysterious ways, and we can easily judge prematurely, not waiting to see how God Could use even Christian nationalist.
God is moving brothers, be encouraged and hopefully that God will be victorious and God will use His Church, broken as we are.
Praying for the body of Christ.
