Austin Gardner | Religion Says "Do," Grace Says "Done"
About this episode
Throughout church history, the greatest struggle has been the tension between grace and performance. Today, Austin Gardner addresses the fear many of us have: If I tell people they are loved unconditionally, won't they stop doing right?
Austin shares his personal journey of moving away from a "steeped legalism" that crushed people under expectations, toward a biblical understanding of grace that actually empowers holiness. He contrasts the "coach who only criticizes" with the "Father who loves first," and explains why your position in Christ is more important than your performance for Him. If you’re tired of the religious treadmill, join Austin Gardner for a message of radical rest and restoration.
