In our last episode, we exposed the exhaustion of performance Christianity—the constant pressure to earn God’s love through good behavior. In this episode, we focus on the word that changes everything: grace. Discover how the Bible defines grace, how Jesus embodied it, why Paul defended it so fiercely, and how it frees us from striving and into real relationship with God. Whether you’re weary from trying to be “good enough” or curious about what makes Christianity different from rule-keeping religion, this conversation will point you to the life-changing truth: we are saved by grace, not by performance.

Are we truly following Jesus… or just playing the part?

In this episode of Faith In Context, Jason Graham unpacks Matthew 6 and the subtle trap of performative Christianity — living for human approval instead of God’s reward. Through biblical teaching, personal stories, and insights from voices like C.S. Lewis, Tim Keller, and Brennan Manning, you’ll discover:

• The dangers of image-driven faith

• The root causes of performance-based religion

• How to rest in grace instead of striving for approval

• Practical ways to live out authentic discipleship

Whether you’re burned out, hungry for something real, or simply curious how to deepen your walk with Christ, this conversation will help you stop playing the part and start living the life.

What if we’ve misunderstood the mission? What if the Church’s calling isn’t to build an earthly utopia—but to be faithful witnesses on our way home?

In this episode, we challenge the idea that Christians are here to conquer culture or establish dominion. Instead, we explore the radical, upside-down way of Jesus: carrying the cross, revealing a heavenly kingdom, and extending grace in a broken world.

Jesus didn’t try to overthrow governments—He transformed hearts. He didn’t campaign for power—He walked among the outcasts, spoke truth, and offered eternal hope. Maybe we’re called to do the same.

This conversation re-centers us on what really matters: making disciples, not building empires… pointing people to a kingdom that cannot be shaken.
