5: Christ is Our Sign of God's Goodness: Psalm 86

About

Can we take the gospel seriously without taking ourselves too seriously? Gospel doctrine should lead to gospel culture. God’s timing should be our timing. We aren’t rushing to build God’s church for him; we’re trusting him and his timing. In the Slow Church podcast, Jeremiah and Joshua discuss putting right theology into right practice one day at a time.

Joshua Pangborn and Jeremiah Hurt walk through a recent sermon from Psalm 86 and use it to press into a slow, faithful view of the Christian life. They focus on bringing real problems to God, remembering who He is, and resisting any shortcut version of sanctification, church growth, or suffering.In this episode, they connect Psalm 86 to the gathered church, the ordinary means of grace, and the theology of the cross. The conversation keeps returning to one central claim: God’s goodness is ultimately shown in Christ, and that is what anchors prayer, worship, and endurance.
