Episode Synopsis

In a second part of a two-part series on Deitrich Bonhoeffer, Kathy and Gary discuss the concept of "cheap grace." Bonhoeffer wrote: "Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of the church...Having laid hold of cheap grace, they ae barred forever from the knowledge of costly grace. Deceived and weakened, men felt that they were strong now that they are in possession of cheap grace-whereas they had in fact lost the power to live the life of discipleship and obedience." Kathy and Gary also show how the modern concept of the "seeker-friendly church' is an extension of Bonhoeffer's idea of cheap grace.
