What if the hardest thing about following Jesus isn’t doing more—but learning to receive?
In this episode, we sit down with author David Gregory to explore the mystery of grace and what it really means to live out of our union with Christ. David shares his journey from striving to be a “good Christian” to discovering the freedom of Christ living through him. Together, we unpack why receiving God’s love can feel harder than earning it, how pride and control block our ability to trust, and why childlike faith is at the heart of the gospel.
We also dive into how this message could transform the church today and the beauty of walking by faith instead of performance.
If you’ve ever wondered why grace feels simple—but not easy—this conversation will meet you right where you are.
