How is 2026 going to be any different? That's the question Lane Luttrell asks as we step into a new year—because let's be honest, the same problems waiting for you in December are probably waiting for you in January.

But what if the difference isn't about better circumstances or more willpower? What if it's about grace?

In this episode, Lane unpacks Romans 6 to show what grace actually means: not just forgiveness, but freedom. When Jesus died and rose again, He didn't just erase your past—He gave you power over sin itself. You're no longer enslaved to temptation, anger, or shame. You're dead to sin and alive to God.

What you'll hear:
• Why temptation doesn't mean you're broken (you're human)
• How grace gives you actual power to overcome what's been holding you back
• The story of how one church was reconciled through the power of grace
• Why your old self doesn't define your new identity in Christ
• How to respond to a chaotic world with grace instead of anger

Whether you're struggling with a secret sin, battling daily temptation, or just wondering if real change is possible, this message reminds you that grace isn't just a theological concept—it's the force that transforms how you live, how you treat others, and who you become.

Listen now and discover what changes when you actually believe grace makes all the difference.
