Grace changes the terms of everything. We start with Jeremiah’s promise of a New Covenant and the ancient practice of covenant “cutting,” then follow the thread to the cross where Jesus becomes the sacrifice that secures the covenant on our behalf. From there, we walk with Paul in Acts 20 as he heads toward affliction to “testify to the gospel of the grace of God,” revealing why the law exposes our need but cannot supply the power to meet it.

We unpack the crucial shift from law to grace: the law demanded perfection and offered no help; grace pardons, empowers, and gives us a “new and living way.” Along the way, we dig into core claims that stretch the mind and calm the heart—salvation by grace through faith, not works; reconciliation as a gift, not wages; and growth in holiness fueled by “grace upon grace,” not white-knuckled effort. If grace feels too good to be true, we consider why that reaction is common and how trust in the finished work of Christ reorients our fears, habits, and hopes.

You’ll hear how covenant, sacrifice, and promise come together in Jesus, why Paul’s courage flows from grace, and how everyday discipleship shifts from earning to receiving. The result is practical and pastoral: a faith rooted in the gift of God that produces joy, perseverance, and worship. If you’re ready to trade exhaustion for assurance and striving for Spirit-led strength, press play, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find the good news of grace.

What if the life you’re striving to build is actually meant to be received? We open Scripture and follow a golden thread from Habakkuk to Romans to explore a bold claim: the just shall live by faith. Not a vague spirituality, but concrete trust in what God has said, and in what Christ has done, right now.

We unpack how the gospel reveals the righteousness of God from faith to faith, why Paul isn’t ashamed of this message, and how it becomes real for anyone—Jew or Gentile—who believes. The law demanded righteousness; the gospel provides it in Jesus. That truth reframes both our standing with God and our daily walk. We move from self-reliance to humble dependence, from managing image to embracing grace, from white-knuckled effort to Spirit-led obedience. Faith is not passive. It listens to the word, believes the promise, and acts on it with a steady, quiet courage.

Along the way, we tackle the pride-versus-humility divide, show why grace flows where we depend on God, and reflect on what it means to receive a righteousness that holds when feelings don’t. We close with praise and a benediction that roots our hope in the One who keeps us from falling and presents us faultless with great joy. If you’re hungry for a faith that is both honest and anchored, this conversation will meet you right where you are and invite you deeper into the grace of Christ.

Start the year with a radical reset: deny the self that keeps you stuck and discover the life only Christ can give. We open the scriptures to trace a clear path from Adam to Christ, then unpack what it actually means to follow Jesus when the feelings fade and the calendar fills. No clichés, no shortcuts—just the daily cross, honest surrender, and the steady power of grace.

We walk through Luke 9:23 and Galatians 6:14 to show why denying self is not self-hatred but the doorway to freedom. You’ll hear how the cross breaks the world’s pull, why “according to the scriptures” anchors your hope, and how Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection shape every step of discipleship. We explore the benefits of the cross beyond forgiveness: the old self crucified with Christ, the call to take up your cross daily, and the Spirit’s work in producing love, joy, and peace that resolutions can’t create.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep trusting when the old patterns won’t die, this conversation gives you a grounded, scripture-rich framework. We celebrate grace upon grace, remember God’s promises are yes and amen, and end with a heartfelt prayer that points you back to the One who keeps you from falling.
