Chain Breaker by Zach Williams:

If you've been walking the same old road for miles and miles

If you've got pain

We've all search for the light of day in the dead of night

If you've got pain

If you believe it

If you believe it

If you believe it

If you've got pain

Oh, if you need freedom or saving

My guest, Jon Moffit of the Theocast podcast and Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, TN, and I discuss how pietism brings brokenness and what it is that brings us healing, hope and encouragement as the solution.

Show notes:

Guest: Jon Moffitt

Jon was born and raised in the sunny desert of Southern California. He is the senior pastor of Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, TN. Jon is married to Judith, and they have four children: Charis, Titus, Jane, and Knox.

Jon’s father was a pastor for 25 years in California before moving to Utah where the Lord took him home in 2002. After graduating from college in CA, Jon spent several years working in a small church as a youth pastor in Utah.

Thirty days later, with his wife and three kids, Jon moved to Nashville, TN to become the Young Adult Pastor at Community Bible Church.

In this second part of a 2 part discussion on spiritual reconciliation and restoration, my guest and I discuss what reconciliation and restoration should look like biblically, how it often looks when done poorly, and practical steps those who have been abused can take to deal with those that have abused them.

Show notes:

Guest: Jeffrey S. White

Jeffery S. White has been in the Gospel ministry in one form or another since 1986, so over 36 years. For the first 32 of these years, he served in various pastoral, denominational, and church planting roles. Then for 3 years after pastoring, he served in clinical settings as both a hospital and hospice chaplain. Since 2018, he has been the founder and president of Divine Initiative which is a global counseling ministry that focuses on helping those who have experienced or are experiencing spiritual abuse as well as Religious Trauma Syndrome. Jeff was genuinely converted to Christ when he was 20 years old in 1985 while sitting at work meditating on Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (NASB95) Besides being a theological Reformed follower of Christ, he is currently working on two books, one dealing with spiritual abuse and the other with spiritual restoration that he hopes to have available on Amazon by the end of 2024. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife of 23 years, Adriane; his son Ian and his daughter Sydney; dirt biking, swimming, listening to music and playing chess and other board games. Jeff received his education from Southwest Missouri State University (now MSU), Luther Rice Seminary, Christian Bible College and Seminary, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the Merchab Institute.

Scripture References: Galatians 6

My guest and I do some review on church discipline discussions we had on our spiritual abuse series and then take a deep dive into the topic of how church discipline is misunderstood and misapplied and how that brings brokenness in the life of believers and in the life of the church.
