Grace at LAST

176-If the Bible wasn’t written directly to us, is it still for us? If the Old Testament was written to Israel, what do we do with it? If Paul wrote Romans to believers in Rome, why should we read Romans? And if JesUs was speaking to His disciples, should we assume He was speaking directly to us? In this episode of Grace at LAST, we talk about the difference between who the Scriptures were written...

175-If Christ has already completely forgiven us, why do we keep asking God for forgiveness? What about confession, mercy, the Lord’s Prayer, and 1 John 1:9? In this episode of Grace at LAST, we go back to the finished work of Christ and ask a bigger question: Are we forgiven, or are we repeatedly becoming forgiven? Complete forgiveness doesn’t mean our choices don’t matter. We can acknowledge whe...

174-If all of our sins have already been forgiven, what happens when we do something wrong? Does the Holy Spirit convict us of our sins? And if He doesn’t, does that mean sin no longer matters? In this episode of Grace at LAST, we look at what JesUs actually said about the Holy Spirit and conviction in John 16. We’ll talk about the difference between conviction and condemnation, what happens when...

173-Can we trust the Bible? In this episode of Grace at LAST, I share some of my own journey of asking that question. After more than twenty years of studying and teaching the Bible, I began to realize there was another question I needed to ask: Am I reading the Scriptures the way the writers intended? We’ll talk about translations, interpretations, context, audience, covenant, and the lens we bri...

172- If we're completely forgiven and secure in Christ, what motivates us to follow Him? In this episode, we look at why grace doesn't make us care less. It changes what we care about. Fear may change our behavior for a while, but love changes our hearts. When we stop trying to earn God's approval and begin living from the security we already have because of Christ, our motivation begi...

171- In this episode, we take a fresh look at what Paul meant when he encouraged believers to be transformed by the renewing of their minds. We talk about why renewing our minds isn't about trying harder, thinking more positively, or becoming someone new. It's about learning to think in agreement with what is already true because of the finished work of Christ. As truth replaces old belief...

170-In this episode, we consider how the way we see God,ourselves, and the world around us shapes the way we experience life. We talk about how fear, shame, performance, and past experiences can become lenses that quietly influence our thinking without us even realizing it. But JesUs invites us to see through a different lens; one of grace, truth, and our new identity in Him. This isn't about...

In episode 169 we ask "Why are so many people afraid of God?" Where did that fear come from? In this episode, we look at how fear shapes the way we see God, ourselves, and even the way we read the Bible. We talk about why so many people assume God is disappointed with them, and how JesUs came to reveal the Father's heart. As we begin to see God more truthfully, fear starts to lose it...

In Episode 168 of the Grace at LAST Podcast, we look at how prayer changes when we realize God is not distant but already present with us through Christ. If we are already united with Him, prayer becomes less about trying to get God's attention and more about enjoying an ongoing relationship. Together we'll consider how many of our ideas about prayer have been shaped by distance, performan...

167-In this episode of Grace at LAST, we move from understanding the New Covenant to living it. It is one thing to recognize what JesUs accomplished, but another to let that reality reshape the way we think, respond, and experience everyday life. What if living in the New Covenant is less about trying harder and more about seeing different? We look at how fear, performance, and old patterns can co...

166-How do we read the Bible after the finished work of JesUs? In this episode of Grace at LAST , we look at one of the biggest shifts many believers never consider: God has not changed, but covenant has. Instead of reading every passage as though it is written directly to us, we learn to ask who the original audience was, where the passage fits in the unfolding story of Scripture, and how it poin...

165-If you’ve ever felt more confused the more you studied the Bible, this episode is for you. In How Do I Read the Bible Now? we step back and look at Scripture through the lens of covenant, circumstances, and fulfillment rather than treating every verse as if it was written directly to us. What changes when we stop reading the Bible as one flat book of rules and start seeing the story it tells?...

164-In the final episode of the Genesis to Revelation series, we step back from the details and consider the bigger picture. After looking at covenant from Genesis through Revelation, what does it look like to live in light of what has been fulfilled?  For years, many of us have approached Scripture searchingfor the next insight, the missing piece, or a deeper level of understanding. Yet when we z...

163-In Part 7 of Genesis to Revelation, we look at the book of Revelation through the perspective of covenant rather than disaster. What if Revelation was not mainly about events thousands of years in the future, but about the closing of one covenant age and the full arrival of another? Together, we consider the audience, timing, symbols, and imagery that have shaped so many interpretations of thi...

162-Part 6 of Genesis to Revelation invites us to consider JesUs not as the beginning of a new plan, but as the fulfillment of what had been unfolding all along. If Genesis introduces covenant, relationship, and God’s desire to dwell with humanity, what if JesUs is where those realities reach their fullness? In this episode, we explore covenant through the lens of fulfillment and ask whether Scrip...

161-In Part 5 of Genesis to Revelation, we explore the purpose of the law and whether it was always pointing beyond itself to something greater. Scripture describes the law as a shadow, revealing the outline of what was to come but not the reality itself. From Genesis onward, covenant points toward relationship with God, not endless efforts to gain acceptance. Together, we consider how the law pre...

160-In Part 4 of the Genesis to Revelation series, we consider the possibility that the Garden of Eden was about relationship more than geography. Rather than focusing on where the garden was, we consider what it represented. The Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil reveal two different ways of living: dependence on God or independence from Him. What if Genesis is introducin...

159-Part 3 of Genesis to Revelation continues the journey through the opening chapters of Genesis and looks at what the story is really revealing beneath the surface. Rather than reading the text as disconnected events or moral lessons, this episode suggests we slow down and consider the deeper meaning of covenant, identity, trust, and humanity’s relationship with God. Why did humanity hide after...

158-In Part 2 of Genesis to Revelation looks at one of the most important and misunderstood themes in all of Scripture: covenant. Many people have approached the Bible through a view of negotiating with God, believing relationship with God is built on good behavior, rules, and earning acceptance. But what if covenant reveals something entirely different? In this episode, we break down covenant in...

157-In Part 1 of the Genesis to Revelation series, we begin the journey through the story of Scripture by exploring the foundation of covenant. From the opening chapters of Genesis, we uncover how God’s relationship with humanity was never built on fear, striving, or performance, but on promise, identity, and connection. This episode looks at the covenants established throughout biblical history a...

156-Three years in, this anniversary episode shows a journey of growth, unlearning, relearning and more truth. What started as just a step has become a place where performance-based faith is confronted and replaced with a relationship rooted in grace. We talk about important changes, from striving to rest, from fear to freedom, and from religion to real connection with God. We take an honest look...

Episode 155 we face the belief that we earn spiritual rewards through performance and invites us into a completely different way of relating to God. We look at how the idea of “earning blessings” has quietly shaped so many mindsets, turning faith into  negotiations instead of a relationship. Through a fresh look at 2 Corinthians 9, Corinne reveals that true giving is not about getting something ba...

154-Today we continue unpacking freedom from fear-based teaching. Many of us have heard, “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling,” and felt pressure to perform, as if our relationship with God depends on us. But when we read the full context, we discover something powerful: God is the one at work in us, shaping our desires and empowering our actions. This conversation will challenge our m...

153-Welcome to the final part of our four-part series on fear-based teaching. Today, we look into the heart of sin consciousness and obedience without pressure. Many believers live constantly aware of sin, thinking it keeps them humble and faithful but in reality, it often produces guilt, anxiety, and exhaustion. Fear-driven obedience may produce immediate results, but it distorts our view of God,...

152-Corinne continues part three of the 4-part series on fear-based teaching by addressing two powerful and often overlooked areas, money and end times urgency. This message challenges the subtle ways fear has been used toinfluence giving, decision making, and how people view their relationship with God. Many have been taught that financial giving influences God’s provision, creating pressure, anx...
