Listen "From Law’s Diagnosis To Grace’s Cure"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWhat if the relief you desire isn't found in doing more, but in trusting what's already done? There is a sharp line between the law that diagnoses and the grace that heals, swapping performance-based religion for a living for a steady walk of faith. From the x-ray and mirror metaphors to Paul's piercing questions, "Did you receive the Spirit by works or by hearing with faith?" we confront the drift from gratitude to grind and show how "It is finished" functions as a verdict that frees, not a slogan to frame.You'll hear why grace isn't God lowering the bar, but God meeting the bar in Jesus. We reflect on the trap of checklist spirituality, quiet time, tithing, attendance, serving as measures of worth, and how that quietly forges chains of anxiety and exhaustion. The conversation turns practical and pastoral: faith as a hallway rather than a doorway, rest as evidence of grace at work, and the transforming power of "Christ lives in me" for daily habits, motives, and hopes. Expect a clear case for living from acceptance rather than for it, and a path out of the pressure to prove yourself to God.If you've ever treated grace like a starter battery and yourself as the engine, this one is a reset. We invite you to breathe, to let diagnosis lead you to the cure, and to ask with honesty: where am I still trying to add to what is finished?In This Episode:Law as diagnosis, grace as cureGalatians warns against earning what is givenFaith as hallway, not one-time doorway"It is finished" as verdict, not sloganMoving from proving love to Christ living in usGrace meeting God's standard in ChristReplacing performance anxiety with rest and trustPractical shifts in habits toward communion over metricsWe slow down to explore Galatians and how grace breaks the spell of performance, turning diagnosis into healing and effort into overflow. From "It is finished" to "Christ lives in me," we trade checklist worth for a steady walk of faith and rest.Listen, share with a friend who's weary of spiritual striving, and leave a review so more people can discover rest in the gospel.
