Heartbeat of Grace

Episode 106: Tricky Verses: Two Gates

When speaking of the two gates, what if Jesus was actually contrasting two completely different ways of living — one built on fear, striving, performance, and religion… and the other built on grace, trust, union, and rest? In this episode of the we take a fresh look at Matthew 7 and explores the possibility that the broad road leads not to abandonment by God, but to the exhausting cycle of trying to earn what was already freely given.

Episode 105: Tricky Verses: Forgive to Be Forgiven??

In this episode of Heartbeat of Grace, we tackle Matthew 6:14–15 and the tension between Jesus’ words about forgiving others and Paul’s repeated declaration that forgiveness is already a finished reality in Christ. Was Jesus teaching a transactional system…or something much deeper? This conversation might completely reshape the way you see grace, forgiveness, and the heart of Abba.

Episode 104: Tricky Verses: Confession Reimagined

In this episode of the Heartbeat of Grace, we take a fresh look at one of the most quoted—and often misunderstood—verses in scripture: 1 John 1:9. What if confession was never meant to be a cycle of shame, fear, and trying to earn forgiveness from God? Through the lens of grace, identity, and union with the Father, this episode explores the possibility that confession is less about getting God to forgive you and more about waking up to the truth of who you’ve always been in Him. Together, we unpack how distorted identity can cloud our awareness of God’s love, and how agreeing with what Abba says about us leads not to condemnation, but to wholeness, healing, and restored alignment.

Episode 103: Pluck It Out, Cut It Off

In this episode of the Heartbeat of Grace Podcast, we take a fresh look at one of Jesus’ most misunderstood teachings—His words about plucking out an eye or cutting off a hand. Was He speaking literally, or was He revealing something deeper about the way we see ourselves, others, and God? Together, we’ll explore how these powerful statements point not to punishment or self-harm, but to healing distorted vision, renewing the mind, and awakening to love. If you’ve ever struggled with difficult passages of Scripture, this conversation may help you see them—and yourself—more clearly.

Episode 102: Original Goodness vs Original Sin

What if the story of humanity does not begin with brokenness, but with goodness? In this episode of the Heartbeat of Grace Podcast, we explore the difference between the ideas of original sin and original goodness, and how where you begin the story shapes everything you believe about God, yourself, and the gospel. Through Scripture, we consider the possibility that mankind’s deepest issue is not separation from God, but forgetting our true identity in Him. If you have ever questioned fear-based religion or longed for a more hope-filled message, this conversation will challenge and encourage you.
