Grace is meant to comfort us — but it also confronts us. In this episode of The Pursuit, James Griffin, Carlos Fernandez, and Matt Moody explore why grace often feels offensive, especially to religious people who are used to earning approval. They unpack why salvation isn’t about God helping good people, but God resurrecting the spiritually dead. The conversation tackles pride, performance-based faith, hell, judgment, and what it really means to be saved by grace alone.
If you’ve ever struggled with assurance, shame, or trying to earn God’s love, this episode is for you.
