If the gospel you’re hearing doesn’t sound like good news, it isn’t the real gospel.
In this episode, the On the Table team unpacks what the Gospel of Grace truly is—and why focusing on sin, striving, or “earning” favor with God muddies the message. We talk about how Jesus already put away sin, how righteousness is a gift, and how walking in grace frees us from hypocrisy and shame. You’ll discover that grace isn’t soft on sin—it’s strong in love. When we live from that truth, the good news feels like what it was always meant to be: good.
