18: A Contrast - Pietism and Confessionalism

Amity Podcast with Jono & Lauren

Buckle up folks, it's a long ride! We knew this episode might get away from us a bit, there was just so much to cover. You may find it helpful to take a break or two or if an hour-length episode doesn't intimidate you, grab a coffee and settle in. In this episode we look at two contrasting ways of approaching doctrine and Christian living; pietism (or pietistic evangelicalism) and Confessionalism. Jono has previously preached on this theme so we're using his contrasting points as our talking points in this conversation. Check out our instagram feed for the written points and the resources linked below for further research on this topic. For a time code reference, at 48:15 we deal with our final point and then spend the last 10 minutes wrapping up (and Jono preaches a mini sermon on Colossians 3). Theocast has covered so much helpful ground on this issue and has a podcast, free courses, primers and articles on many topics relating to pietism, assurance, faith and more https://theocast.org/freeresources/ Theology Gals has a few episodes on Law & Gospel, here is one example http://theologygals.com/2020/01/the-importance-of-understanding-law-and-gospel/ The book "Ordinary" by Michael Horton is hugely helpful.
