What is Theocast?

Theocast is a podcast and ministry focused on encouraging weary Christians to find rest in Christ through simple conversations about the Christian life from a Reformed theological perspective. Hosted primarily by pastors Jon Moffitt and Justin Perdue, they emphasize the distinction between law and gospel, often critiquing legalism and pietism.

Who is Theocast For?

Theocast is primarily for Christians, particularly those who feel burdened by legalistic expectations, are wrestling with issues of sanctification, or are seeking a deeper understanding of Reformed theology and the liberating message of the Gospel. It resonates with those who appreciate theological depth presented in an accessible and conversational manner.

Credobaptism or Paedobaptism? - Part 2 (w/ Adriel Sanchez from Sola Media)

Check out Part 1 of this discussion on Sola Media’s YouTube channel! On today’s special episode of Theocast, Jon and Justin are joined by Adriel Sanchez of Sola Media to continue a thoughtful conversation on the differences between baptizing believers only and baptizing infants. This isn’t a debate but a dialogue between three Reformed brothers who share a deep love for Christ and his church. We explore key theological distinctions in covenant theology, union with Christ, and the role of baptism as a sign and seal of God’s promises. The discussion touches on continuity between the covenants, the objectivity of the sacraments, and pastoral implications. Whether you're undecided or simply curious, this episode offers biblical reflection and gospel-centered clarity. All of it is rooted in humility, respect, and unity in Christ.

Why New Calvinism Is Not Reformed

New Calvinism, while it has some good aspects, has also caused a lot of problems for many people today. Jon and Justin are going to have a conversation about how historical Reformed theology differs from New Calvinism—a movement that has really taken shape and gained a lot of traction over the last few decades, particularly in America. There are good things about New Calvinism, which we discussed a few weeks ago. But there are also key differences—differences we believe are vital for the clarity of the gospel and for emphasizing Christ for us. So today, we're going to talk about those differences and give you some helpful categories. We hope this conversation brings clarity, and more than anything, we pray you are comforted in the Lord Jesus Christ, who has done everything necessary to save you. JOIN THE THEOCAST COMMUNITY!

Law & Gospel (with Bob Hiller @ 1517)

Today's episode is a special recording from the 1517 Conference in Bentonville, Arkansas. Jon and Justin are joined by Bob Hiller, senior pastor of Community Lutheran Church in Escondido, California, and a valued member of the 1517 family. In this episode, we explore the challenges of balancing grace and law, emphasizing that the Christian life is about receiving Christ's work rather than striving for perfection through self-effort. We discuss the freedom found in the gospel, encouraging each other to trust in Christ's completed work rather than relying on our own achievements for spiritual growth.

Our Thoughts on John Piper and Falling Away

Recently, a video clip from the Coram Deo Conference began circulating online, featuring John Piper making comments about falling away from the living God—and how that warning needs to be preached. The message that one can fall away must be clearly communicated, with no punches pulled. Theocast was brought into the online conversation surrounding this video, and we've received a number of questions about our thoughts on what Piper said. Today, we aim to charitably engage with John’s comments and express our concerns about his message. We hope this conversation brings clarity and answers some of your questions. Ultimately, as always, our desire is to point you to Jesus Christ and to help you see from the Scriptures that He truly is enough to save you—and that you don’t need to be afraid.
