Justin and Jon love this phrase: All of Christ for all of life. That is what this podcast is about today. The doctrine of Christ is important, and we need to get it right—but it is also for our daily lives. This is where it becomes a balm and a joy. It allows us not only to have rest but also to give rest. So we want to talk about what all of Christ looks like in areas such as relational conflict. How do we apply the wonders of Jesus for us, and how do we use something like the third use of the law to proclaim the light of the Kingdom while resisting the darkness? We live in a dark world, so considering all of Christ in conflict is a really important conversation. It was helpful for us, and we hope it will be encouraging for you as well.

Something I wish Christianity would address more often is the normal battle with sin. Or, to put it another way: temptation. Temptation is a normal experience. That word "normal" is the key. We tend to think that as we grow in Christ, temptation decreases. But that is not what Paul says about our experience. It’s important to understand that you will not only struggle with sin, meaning you’re fighting it, but the temptation to sin may actually increase as you mature in the faith. Paul gives us some very important ways to think about temptation and how to endure it. This is a really important conversation. If you're struggling and feel the weight of temptation beating you down, this episode is for you.

When I say the word repent, how do you feel? When I say confess your sins, what does that evoke in you? If repentance feels scary, threatening, or uncomfortable, or if confession feels the same, this podcast is for you. Jon and Justin are going to have a sweet conversation about how good God is to us, how forgiving and merciful He is, and how, since we have been united to Jesus by faith and brought into the family of God, it is actually a joy to live a life of continual repentance and honest confession of sin. We want to walk in the light together. There is real freedom and lasting joy in doing so. So let's make repentance great again.

This conversation was recorded before the official announcement of Charlie’s death. Our hearts and our prayers are with his family. May the Lord Jesus Christ comfort them now and always.

There is so much evil and pain in this world, and in this life. It all just feels too much to bear. We don't just face the evils of men; day by day, we are confronted with truly wicked and demonic powers that look to steal our hope.

In our darkest hours, we must remember the light of Christ and His gospel. Jesus defeated death so you can live.

Expository preaching has been very popular for the last 30 to 40 years, and we are thankful for that. But the Bible actually tells us how the Word is to be explained and expounded, and that is what this episode is about. Jon and Justin are going to make the argument that if Christ is not part of the explanation, then technically it is not a Christian sermon. It is not a biblical sermon. It is not biblical exposition. It is a bold claim, but this conversation really matters. We are going to argue from Scripture what biblical expositional preaching actually is. To avoid burying the lead: it is about Jesus.

Is there a man who sits on the throne of God? And what does that mean for us? Can Jesus identify with us and have compassion on us in the midst of our struggle, our fear, and our discouragement? Does He feel things for us? Is Jesus of Nazareth a man of feeling? The answer to those questions is yes. He is a man of feeling. He is with us, compassionate, merciful, and gentle. This has everything to do with the fact that He is not only God; He is truly human. Jon and Justin are going to have that conversation today, and we hope it encourages and comforts you in Christ.

Today's episode is definitely a little more in your face, as you can tell from the title, but it's so important. Jon and Justin want to talk about preaching and how we understand Scripture in general, including expository and exegetical preaching. We want to help you see that if your conclusion is not Jesus, then something is missing. And we have reasons for saying that, based on the teaching of Jesus and the apostles. So if your sermon is exegetically and historically sound but does not end with Christ, we are going to challenge that. Because without Jesus, the sermon is ultimately empty.

When you read Genesis or Exodus, the very first books of the Bible, what comes to mind? Do you think of creationism versus evolution? An ark in Kentucky? Or do you think about Christ, how He has been present from the very beginning and is woven through every book of Scripture, including Genesis and Exodus? Jon and Justin are having a conversation today about Christ in the beginning. We’re going to survey Genesis and Exodus and help you see Jesus, not in a strange or forced way, but in a sound, biblical, apostolic way. Christ is there. He is for you. He has always been the Redeemer. We hope this encourages and comforts you.

Some of you may feel like your testimony isn’t exciting enough to be worth sharing. Maybe you’ve wondered if you're even saved because you haven’t experienced a dramatic life transformation. Others may think only those who’ve hit rock bottom can truly understand grace. In this episode, Jon and Justin talk about why that’s not true; and why every believer, no matter their story, needs the same amazing grace.

Many of you have probably prayed the prayer of Paul: “Lord, please take this away from me.” Not just once, but many times. It can become exhausting, frustrating, and even lead to doubt. That’s why today’s podcast is so important. We need to talk about trials and God’s grace, and how the two go together. What promise do we actually have from God? We dive deep into the reality of His love for us, especially how it’s not transactional, even in the midst of our suffering. We hope this encourages you. And if you find it helpful, please share it with someone. It might give them strength and hope in their own season of suffering.
