  • Grace, Not Status – The Story of Leamington Hastings
    Aug 31 2025

    Leamington Hastings is more than stone, stained glass, and memorials—it’s a place where history, human tension, and spiritual depth intersect, and where grace has always had the final word.

    In this episode, we explore the church’s origins as a gift from Humphrey Hastang, the life of the Augustinian Canons who served the local community, and the challenges of privilege, power, and service across the centuries. Through Scripture, historical stories, and reflections, we uncover how grace—not status—shapes communities and calls each of us to live humbly, faithfully, and generously.
