The Great Obstacle To Faith

The hosts of Theocast (Justin Perdue and Jon Moffitt) join Pastor Chris Gordon to discuss what could be keeping believers from true faith in Christ. Is it the work of the god of this world or maybe believers trying to establish their own righteousness? They discuss their goals in ministry and how showing gentleness and meekness may be perceived as weakness by some, but it’s actually the strength and wisdom of God. They agree on the one thing that really gets them worked up, and how this very thing got the Apostle Paul’s blood boiling too! To learn more, watch The Great Obstacle To Faith, ready Wednesday, April 3rd.

Pastor Jon Moffitt was born and raised in 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. While there, he pursued theological training and moved back to CA to attend seminary. In seminary, he became involved in a local church as the college and young adults pastor until graduating in December of 2011. A month later, Jon and
his family moved to Nashville, TN where he became the Young Adult Pastor at Community Bible Church. In 2017 Jon was sent out to plan Grace Reformed Church in Spring Hill, TN. Jon is one of the founding members and director of Theocast Ministries.

Pastor Justin Perdue was born in Newport News, VA but grew up in Asheville, NC. His formative years were spent in a Baptist church that was theologically liberal and culturally moralistic, the worst of every world. He played football at Furman University majoring in business administration. After college he began a career in business with no thoughts of ever going into vocational ministry. In his mid-twenties, Justin was exposed

to good teaching for the first time and his life began to change. He received regular teaching and leadership opportunities in the church, and was encouraged to go into pastoral ministry. Eventually, the Lord brought him to a place where that became his desire. In 2011, Justin moved to Washington, DC for the pastoral internship at Capitol Hill Baptist Church and then went on staff there as a pastoral assistant. Justin met and married his lovely wife Michelle in early 2012 and they now have four kids: Josiah, Noelle, Titus, and Scottie. He and his family moved to Asheville in the summer of 2014 to begin the work of planting a church. Covenant Baptist Church was constituted in the fall of 2015 and Justin still serves as lead pastor.
