Episode Synopsis

What if the cross actually worked—and shame is no longer your script? That audacious claim sits at the center of our talk with author and speaker Tracy Levinson as we unpack love, dating, sexuality, and the kind of grace that doesn’t just forgive but changes you from the inside out.Tracy shares her path from atheism to a deep trust in the finished work of Jesus, explaining why she says she has “one sermon.” We explore how many Christians confuse purity with sexual behavior when purity is ultimately a person—Christ. That shift reframes sin as self‑harm rather than a scoreboard and moves us from fear of punishment to the tree of life, where love motivates wise choices. Along the way, we talk candidly about teenage pregnancy, boundaries in relationships, and what healing looks like when old wounds echo in new friendships.We also press into worship and joy. Can praise be honest when you feel empty? Yes—when it’s in spirit and in truth, not just noise or duty. One host describes carrying a stubborn, contagious joy into a hard corporate culture and how that joy held only when rooted in God’s purpose. Tracy offers a nuanced take on the “new heart” promise, arguing that believers aren’t stuck with stony hearts; instead, our minds need renewal and our defenses need surrender. We discuss guarding your heart without closing it, loving people you disagree with, and recognizing the image of God in every person.If you’ve wrestled with purity culture, wondered whether grace is real enough for your story, or needed language to set kind but firm boundaries, this conversation will meet you there.
